Indigo is a 10 month old Chihuahua in Noblesville, IN, who needs $300 for Retained Deciduous Tooth Extraction.

Indigo is our sweet rescue pup, adopted 4 months ago after we lost our dog Riley. She quickly bonded with our terrier, Cece, and became part of our family. Though she likely came from an abusive past, she's blossomed with love, enjoying car rides, daycare at PetSuites, and cuddles at night. Her joy has helped us heal, and she means the world to us.

Indigo has a retained baby tooth that’s now causing her serious pain and discomfort. Items keep getting lodged between it and her adult tooth, leading to gum damage/bleeding and an infection risk. If not fixed soon it will also cause permanent damage to her adult tooth. She urgently needs surgery at VCA to prevent lasting harm and relieve her pain.

Indigo is packed with personality—like a cartoon come to life. She loves tug-of-war, does full-on zoomies when excited, and when she naps on the couch, she always presses her head into one of us. She's overcome an abusive past and now she trots and bops along like she’s the happiest girl on Earth. She adores her daycare people, has become Cece’s best friend, and is our constant shadow around home.

Like many people, we're doing our best with rising costs and bills, but unexpected costs like this are out of reach. We don't have emergency savings, and it would take months to save up for a surgery - time indigo doesn't have. Her pain is making her defensive, she is eating less, and it's heartbreaking. Helping her heal means getting our sweet, happy girl back and stopping this before it gets worse.
