Lola is a 5 year old Mix-Breed in Lothian, MD, who needs $14,000 for MRI Scan and IVDD/Back Surgery.

In March 2020, I lost my childhood dog, Loba. A few months later, a friend gifted me the cutest puppy, my sweet Lola who was named in honor of Loba. 2 months later, we got her Pomeranian brother Yogi who has been her companion, growing up together. They were the only two before we were also gifted two more dogs. So Lola now has one brother and two sisters always keeping her company!

On Sunday morning, Lola started to lose function in both her hind legs slowly throughout. We took her to AAVEC as an emergency case, where they informed me that it's most likely a neurological problem and has IVDD. She is no longer able to walk on her hind legs and drags them, having back pain as well. Due to this we have to express her bladder for her to pee. She does have a chance, with surgery.

Lola is the sweetest! I just adore her laidback personality. She loves to eat, and she will perform her roll over trick for a taste of your food. She loves walks, and she will demand them! Lola enjoys laying between your feet, this is how you know she trusts you. She has such a different & unique personality compared to her siblings. I love her quirks and her little feet/legs. I just love her so.

I lost my job and unfortunately have no emergency funds left. Lola is still so young, she is only 5 years old. When talking to the vet, he did tell us her chances. While not guaranteed, we don't want to give up on her and want to fight for her life when recovery is possible.
