India is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Chicago, IL, who needs $1,500 for X-rays, Urine Test, Sedation and Medications.

We adopted India from a friend who described her as the “runt of the litter”. She was small, and at first our Mom was unsure, saying “I can’t even see her! She’s just like a small dark blur!” But she soon became the star of the family, beloved by us all. She had more fluffy beds, and nice toy boxes than I had at times!

The vet at Animal Advocate Pet hospital revealed she had hip dysplasia scoliosis and a torn ACL in the past that was causing arthritis. They also noticed a mass. A specialist predicted that she has Osteosarcoma. Unfortunately, we do not have the means to cover the expenses for the next steps, including pain management, the biopsy/blood work, and any future potential services she would need.

India came into our family to give Mom something to care for, and she quickly became everyone’s joy. Anyone who meets her falls in love. She adores affection, long walks sniffing every inch, and supervising the kitchen. She watches the window like a tiny guard, greeting passersby and protesting deliveries. She’s truly the glue of our family.

No one decides when it’s time to go. India just turned 8 and is entering her senior years. With treatment, we hope for more time and comfort. Our family lives on a fixed income, and any help would mean precious extra time with a deeply loved member of our home.
