Kaden is a 9-year-old Chihuahua/Shih Tzu in Cary, NC, who needs $1,200 for Mass Removal.

Hello all!! My sweet, playful, and loving fur baby Kaden came to me nine years ago. A friend of the family had four puppies that needed homes and it was history from there. A year later I was informed that Kaden was the only one stilling living. He is a mixed Chihuahua/Shih Tzu breed and boy is he full of energy!!

Kaden loves to take car rides and thinks anytime someone leaves he should be going. Lol! Squeaky toys are his absolute favorite. My father was diagnosed with cancer and its like Kaden knew something wasn't right bc he doesn't leave his side. Kaden sleeps with him and follows my dad every move. Kaden is normally a mommy's boy but he has brought so much comfort to my dad during these trying times.

Kaden is amazing!! I know everyone says that about their child but since he was a puppy he has been awesome. He has never chewed, scratched, or tour up anything that wasn't his toys and this is without any training. I must say he is very good at manipulating everyone into feeding him all the treats and goodies.

Kaden has a mass/ tumor on his back. The mass/tumor is over 8 cm. The mass/tumor is extremely painful and extremely irritating for Kaden. He needs surgery. It is bleeding a lot and I'm having a hard time keeping it bandaged and covered because Kaden keeps finding ways to remove it even if he's coned.

I'm working minimal hours to help take care of my dad and due to some other unfortunate events I'm not able to afford his surgery. The love and support Kaden brings me and now to my dad's recovery process I want to see Kaden back playful and healthy. Thank you all!!!
