Kyva is a 5-year-old Chihuahua in Osprey, FL, who needs $290 for Dental.

We rescued July of 2015 (5mo). She had a cast on her left leg from being stepped on as a pup and no one doing anything about it. Rescue agency had to re-adjust leg, place in 2 rods, & multiple screws. Kyva has been with us for 5yrs, cast free & is one of the happiest, most lovable dogs you will meet. While scared of everything she is also curious about everything & has grown to be a Daddy's girl.

Kyva is our furbaby. She was our only dog until 3yrs ago. If she is not snuggled with her dad, she is snuggled with her sister. Kyva likes to wrestle with her sister, play tag & when hyper will run in big circles. She is lovable to all family members, loves giving kisses, & is extremely bonded to my husband & will climb on his shoulders & lick his bald head whenever given the chance.

COVID-19 has extremely impacted my husband's ministry & his counseling business. At this time we are seeking help for her dental extractions. We would be joyful in knowing that not only can she eat comfortably, but she will have better breath for a long happy life!

While we have spent many resources caring for Kyva's leg, our current medical situation is with her teeth. We know dogs don't have the best breath but we never expected that her breath was due to her impacted teeth that never fell out during her puppy years. Manatee Humane Society has expressed she has multiple upper & lower teeth that are infected & need to be extracted for overall health.

Kyva gets very happy when we are going for a ride because most of the time she gets to go visit her cousins. She can often be found laying in weird positions or acting like an ostrich by hiding her head only. She is special to us because of her story & while the hard to her leg was tragic, today she doesn't let it stop her! She will often hold her leg up to get sympathy treats!
