Kiwi is a 4 year old Mix-Breed in Pembroke Pines, FL, who needs $2,000 for Asp Pneumonia and Aspergillosis Treatment.

We never expected to meet a dog like kiwi. We knew we wanted to add one to our family, but were unsure what kind of dog. after a few months of preparation, we settled on a rescue. We came across kiwi at our local shelter and he was perfect. His name fit in with our other baby, mango. It’s been three years since that day in august, but it feels like so much less and so much more at the same time.

We noticed two nights ago that his breathing was labored, and discharge began to come from his nose. That’s when we made the decision to bring him into leadER veterinary hospital where he has since been hospitalized. They determined he has aspirational pneumonia and requires urgent treatment. This is an emergency situation where we have had no choice but to admit him and hope for the best outcome.

Kiwi brings a light to our household that wouldn’t be there otherwise. He’s always the first to greet you at the door. Kiwi goes by a number of aliases: kiki, kiki, and weenie being some of our most used. he loves plushies - all kinds. some of his favorites include a stuffed lamb, pig, and turtle! he is so so special to us, and such a joy to have around.

It would mean everything to get kiwi healthy. we miss him so much! We are the people who would do anything for our animals, but the financial burden of this situation is too much for us to handle on our own. We’d love to give kiwi the care & support he needs most right now.
