Kauai is a 8-year-old Chihuahua in Branford, CT, who needs $2,000 for Mammary Tumor Removals and Dental.

KAUAI came to Murphy's Paw Rescue from a hoarding situation. She settled wonderfully into her foster home and she is forever grateful to be out of the horrific home she came from.

KAUAI is a dog who bonds deeply with her humans. Although she can be weary of new people, if you allow her go at her own pace she will eventually crawl right into your lap and never want to leave.

We thought we had found KAUAI her forever home, but soon it was determined that she has mammary tumors. So KAUAI is still in foster care as she not only waits for a forever family to come along, but now awaits her upcoming surgery for three mammary mass removals.

KAUAI will be under the care of our friends at Clinton Vet Hospital for surgery on December 14th. Mammary tumors are not uncommon in dogs who are spayed later in life, and we have been through this many times before with fosters as well as personal pets. Although expensive to remove, the good news is that whether benign or malignant...these tumors can be completely excised.

Murphy's Paw Rescue is a small foster based rescue and we take responsibility for the dogs in our care. We rely heavily on donations in order to give each dog everything they need and deserve. Please consider donating to KAUAI'S medical needs!
