Nikki is a 11 year old Mix-Breed in San Jose, CA, who needs $2,000 for Cystotomy (Surgery to Remove the Stones).

I rescued my dog from a nearby shelter when she was two months old. She's been my constant companion and source of emotional support for over eleven years and eight months. She means everything to me, and I cherish every moment we share.

She has bladder stones, and I've attached a photo for reference. One is significantly large and won't dissolve with just dietary changes. Surgery is necessary, and time is of the essence as the stones are causing widespread infection and inflammation in her bladder and kidneys. She's been a little tired recently. The veterinarian I always go with is at the Curtner Pet Hospital.

She's a sweetheart who adores everyone and gets along well with other animals. Playful, fun, and full of laughter, she enjoys going for walks and indulging in her favorite treats. She enjoys playing with her stuffed animals and adores belly rubs. A faithful companion, she's gentle and calm and brings endless warmth and sweetness to my life.

I was unemployed for 11 months. I found a job, but it doesn't pay well. I haven't had time to obtain insurance or deal with other urgent issues. I also got divorced. Now, my dog needs assistance, something I did not anticipate and cannot afford.
