Nina is a 8-year-old maltese in teaneck , NJ, who needs $2,000 for Mammary tumor surgery, broken femur and spaying .

Nina was a gift for my daughter Katnina, when she was 9 years old, now she is 16. her name was choose to match her name. Nina was 8 weeks old with siblings but her face was so cute and sassy and we opted for her. While we were driving she was jumping and crying that I had to stop the car to accommodate her, finally we arrived home we couldn’t sleep for 3 days so, i took 2 days off to be with her.

Nina is part of our household, she get gifts, birthday 🎂 celebrations, sleep with us, the food is served we also served her food, in fact she will be standing by the stove until is her turn. we take her with us everywhere. she senses when I am sad. Nina looks at me like she is understanding. she is always next to one of us.

30% salary reduction. I see her sad and not being able to walk and run like she love to do. I never realized that pets are more than that, they are like your kids. We love her so much.

I was planning to take long ride drive with her, so i took her to do the grooming and after that she was having problems walking and she was breathing fast so I decide to take her to the hospital, so they said did procedures (blood, x-ray, etc.) bill was 1,051.24 and on top the bad news about mammary tumor, need to spay, broken femur and low blood cell low as well as an infection.I am devastated.

Everyone spoiled & love our NINA. She is fearless, strong and sweet, but don’t bother her when she is eating., we know when she wants to be alone. no one can touch her tail. Don’t like showering or the blower. when we ask for a kiss, she will give it to you if she is not upset. when she sees that you are getting to go out, she will by the door and if you don’t take she will do pipí at the door.
