Lola is a 3-year-old Chihuahua Mix in Radford, VA, who needs $2,000 for Tibial Tuberosity Transposition Surgery.

My first pet had passed away in January and I couldn't go but 2 days without the pitter patter of little paws in my house. I searched all over the internet and emailed a ton of shelters for a Chihuahua mix. One emailed me back and said she had a sweet little girl for me to meet. I decided to call her Lola and she came home with me that very day.

Lola is an "only child" as she does not typically get along with other animals, according to the shelter. She has learned to trust and adores my boyfriend and sleeps with us in the bed every single night. She gets tight under the covers and doesn't move at all. She is spoiled rotten with toys and treats.

I lost my job due to COVID back in June. I have been having a hard time trying to catch up with bills since. Lola is so sweet and it's incredibly hard to watch her limp but still maintain being grateful that I rescued her. I want to heal her physically and emotionally.

Lola has been non weight bearing on her left leg since I got her. It is rumored that she was tugged on both legs and they popped out of socket. The vet, Dr. J Nightingale of Dublin Community Animal Hospital, said she is unable to pop them in place. She is a 4/4 bad on the left and a 3/4 bad on the right. She will need TTT surgery on both legs very soon. She is on pain medication for now.

Lola was a very abused doggie prior to me. She did not trust me at all but now will never, ever leave my side. In fact, every time I sit down, she immediately licks me all over and is super dramatic when I am on my cell. She will throw her head back on my chest and just stare at me. It makes me giggle and I cant resist.
