Kiara is a 8-year-old Pit Bull Terrier in Montclair, CA, who needs $2,000 for Gastric Obstruction Surgery and Post Op Monitoring.

I received a call about puppies that needed a home and upon seeing the only tan and smallest pup of the litter, I knew she was the one and brought her home. Kiara came home August 2014 and was welcomed by Cleo her Chihuahua sister and Little Dog her poofy poodle/maltese mix sis and has been with us ever since.

Kiara blended right in with the rest of our family immediately. (She even won over my big dog fearing mother!) Even though she outgrew her siblings, she still believes she is a lap dog lol Despite her size, she's always been super gentle with her furry and human friends. She loves to catch you off guard with a soft nudge on the hand to welcome some pets.

Being a Bully breed, she's faced a lot of judgement. But in those moments, she's shown people how wrong they were about her. It's been amazing to see how great she has been after welcoming my own son into the family. The curiosity and love she has shown for him has no words. She's his buddy, his "good gwirl." Anyone that meets her falls in love with her.

Kiara needs surgery to remove an intestinal obstruction. This is an intense and costly surgery, but it is the only option to save her. After surgery, she will need to be monitored and each day is 1,000 to 2,500 a day. The team at our veterinary clinic are already going to great lengths to help us help Kiara get the treatment and care she needs.

Most of us can agree that the pandemic has caused financial strain on our families, and as my family continues to bounce back, we are humbly asking for your help to get our baby better so she can be home with her best buddy.
