Lena is a 13 year old Australian Cattle Dog in San Diego, CA, who needs $5,000 for Kidney Injury Treatment.

I got Lena after my older brother said he didn't want her anymore because she was too boring. He adopted her from Sedona, Arizona but after a couple months she came to live with me in San Diego, CA when she was 4. She has lived with me ever since and it had been 10 years. My boyfriend and I moved into our first apartment together 5 years ago. We are a family of 3, and she is our baby and our world

On Monday, May 25th, Lena was hospitalized due to an acute kidney injury which resulted in Azotemia, in addition to having a mass cell tumor on her neck. She also was recently diagnosed with GI tract issues and high blood pressure. She is currently checked into Veterinary Specialty Hospital in Sorrento Valley where Dr. Yellimelli and Dr. Rodriguez are treating our baby.

Lena's most favorite place in the world is in someone's lap. She's incredibly smart, and emotionally intelligent. She responds best to gentle love and absolutely hates commotion or loud noises. Even a high five will have her running into a corner, but as soon as you direct it towards her, she starts to get excited. She gives the sweetest kisses, and her smell and soft fur always bring us peace.

We are on a fixed income and have been forced to live extremely frugally. Any savings that we have accumulated over the years has gone into Lena's treatment. Lena has brought so much joy into everyone's life that she has met, its too soon for her to be taken away.
