Nieves is a 8 year old Chihuahua in Fort Collins, , CO, who needs $600 for emergency care.

Nieves is an 8-year-old rescue dog who has already overcome so much in her life. Today, she is fighting to recover from a terrifying attack that no dog should ever have to endure.

Nieves lives in Cotacachi, Ecuador, with her devoted guardian, who loves and cares deeply for his dogs. This morning, what began as a peaceful day quickly turned into a nightmare. While Nieves and another dog were relaxing together in their yard, an unknown dog suddenly entered the property and viciously attacked them without warning.

Both dogs suffered serious injuries. In the chaos, the second dog ran away in fear and has not yet been found. Nieves was immediately rushed to Amici Cannis Hospital, where the veterinary team worked quickly to stabilize her.

Under anesthesia, her wounds were thoroughly cleaned, carefully examined, and sutured to reduce the risk of infection and give her the best chance at healing. While Nieves is now recovering under veterinary care, she still has a long road ahead. She will need pain management, medications, follow-up examinations, and continued monitoring to ensure her injuries heal properly and that complications do not arise.

For Nieves' guardian, this emergency came without warning. Like so many loving pet owners, he never expected to face such a devastating and costly veterinary crisis. Although he is committed to doing everything he can for Nieves, the unexpected expense of emergency treatment is simply beyond his financial means.

No family should have to choose between financial hardship and lifesaving veterinary care for a beloved companion.
