Lily is a 8-year-old Chihuahua in Las Vegas , NV, who needs $1,118 for Abscess Tooth Extraction.

Lily came into our life over 8 years ago, completely by accident. A friend of ours got her when she was only a few weeks old and weighed less than 3 pounds. Unfortunately, the friend was unable to keep her shortly after adopting her and turned to us to rescue her. We accepted and she has been a part of our lives ever since. We never intended to adopt Lily, but we’re glad we have her now.

Lily’s favourite thing in the world to do is to play fetch. We’ve spent hours throwing toys for her to chase. But when she’s not playing fetch, she LOVES to curl up in some nice warm blankets with her humans and hang out with us. Whenever she gets treats she stands up on her hind legs and walks around to get a better look. She’s definitely silly, we even call her “Lily-so-silly”.

As I said, her name is “Lily-so-silly” for a reason. She may be 8, but she’s a puppy at heart and doesn’t let us forget that. She gets into mischief whether she’s trying to chase lizards in the front yard, finding a way to get to the people food we have hidden away, or simply wanting someone to help her get to her favourite toy.

On December 13th, Lily’s face began to swell up like seen in the first two pictures. The next day we took her to our veterinarian. The vet initially thought it was an allergic reaction. However, now we know she requires a tooth abstraction and the swelling of her face is only getting worse.

This dog is everything to us. We just recently moved to Las Vegas and it has been difficult financially at times. We just want our Lily-so-silly to be her silly self again, she has been absolutely heartbroken and so sad ever since her face started swelling.
