Jakie Ontko is a 8-year-old Longhair Chihuahua in Cincinnati , OH, who needs $2,000 for Luxated Patella Surgery.

I was blessed with my Jakie Boy July 2014 I wanted a small dog for my family so bad and the opportunity approached. My cousins grandmother had a set of long hair chihuahuas and they were expecting she asked if I'd like one since I was related he was free she sent me pic's of those they had left & I picked out my little guy right away! Soon after they dropped him off and it was love at first sight!

Jakie is king of the castle and he shall be treated as one! No seriously he is loved and very spoiled he really only likes mom though but I've researched his breed and its very common their a one person kinda breed so makes sense. We love him so very much and he is quite healthy we're going through a tough time his poor leg. He isn't my perky anymore he deserves a longer life this dog is my baby

Jake knows heart aches he lost his babies and their mother (his love) to Parvo 12/25/2016 and he lost his brother his best bud april 2022 I can still see him grieve for him as he did for Bella he lost his baby sister in 2018 we rescued her . He smiles! When I come home from work each day he is so excited to see me I feel so special

Jakie has a disease where his knee is slipping outta place he walks with his hind right leg up mostly due to not wanting to put pressure on it he is on medication but desperately needs surgery we go to ameila animal hospital we love it there jake can be impossible going to the vet let's just say it's not his favorite place
