Kyung Ja is a 14-year-old Chihuahua in Tucson, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Kyung Ja was adopted as a puppy in 2009 into our family mainly for my terminally ill mother. Unfortunately she didn’t get to enjoy her for too long as passed away to cancer. Kyung Ja played a big part in healing our hearts from the passing of my mother.

Kyung Ja is a Chihuahua but is a very friendly dog. She is protective over the family, she may seem like she is aggressive but really she just wants attention and loves cuddles.

Kyung Ja is very special because she represents the love of my mother and she brings us joy with her love and loyalty. She makes us laugh when she pulls her dog bed across our home or when she is under her blanket rustling under it. It’s funny to see because she’s this tiny little thing.

Kyung Ja needs to be seen and possibly treated for an injury due to an accident. Since she is so small, she was hidden and unfortunately got under us and was stepped on. She is walking but it’s evident there is an injury. She has an appointment in a couple days at Marana Veterinary Clinic. We are hoping her condition will get better before then.

Our family is experiencing financial hardship due to loss of a job and unexpected medica/mental expenses and not being able to immediately give care for Kyung Ja is heartbreaking.
