Kira is a 12-year-old Mix in Montgomery, IL, who needs $2,000 for Emergency Wound Care.

I saw beautiful Kira on Petfinder. I fell in love with her gentle eyes and ginormous ears. This lovely lady is a special needs pup - she is deaf. Those ears are ornamental. That doesn't stop us from talking to her all day long.

Kira has been my sidekick from the moment she came home. She lives with me, my husband, and our daughter. We also have other pets and she gets along perfectly with everyone. I am an ultrarunner and Kira LOVES to run. She is the perfect running partner. In the last few years she hasn't been able to get out there as much due to her age.

Kira is the sweetest pup in the world. Yes I'm aware everyone says that - but she truly is. She has a huge personality - making herself as cute as possible for treats. She doesn't know she is deaf and navigates the world perfectly.

Unfortunately, on Valentines Day, Kira was brutally attacked by dogs that we were petsitting for a friend. She is currently in the ER receiving care. She has multiple wounds - many on her neck. The doctors are worried about her trachea having a tear in it. She will be seen by the surgeons today. Despite her wounds, she was wagging her tag at the hospital.

Obviously, this is an unexpected expense for me. The initial estimate was over $4000. That is before the surgery consult, possible surgery, and follow up care. Kira is my world and she didn't deserve this. Any help towards her care will be appreciated more than you know.
