patches is a 9-year-old Chihuahua in Providence, RI, who needs $2,000 for Surgery for a Burn.

my pets name is patches he was given to me from my late aunt (may she rest in peace) ive been taking care of him sense he was a tiny pup. Unfortunately he was near the stove when the pot that was cooking food fell and some oil got on him burning underneath his neck some of his stomach and some of his leg. Ive been bringing him back and fourth for wound changes and he is on medication.

i have three other pets and children and all my dogs get along very well actually he has a daughter she’s beautiful and her color is white and brown. unfortunately they have to be separated until he fully recovers. he is a very awesome and smart dog he is very friendly. he even likes sitting on the porch and barks at everything. And he lives to cuddle especially under your feet he just sits there.

my puppy is so funny he chases his own tail he will even nibble at your feet when your walking by. Funny moments is when we have company and he doesnt know them so he chases their feet.my kids love walking around the house with him he is very cuddly and love being babied. sometimes ill even feed him his food and rub his belly. one thing he does on a daily is walk around with his tongue out alot.

right now my dog has been undergoing wound changes and he has been getting put to sleep while having his wound bandages changes so he is not in pain. ive brought him to ocean state animal hospital in greenwhich and then i brought him to gansett animal hospital in east prov which is way more affordable. they love him there everytime we come there they take very good care of him and are so helpful..

bringing him to get wound changes is expensive not to mention i have alot of bills im trying to tend to. i wouldnt want to loose my dog he is apart of the family he is the only piece and memory i have from my aunt giving him to me he is my first pet ive ever had and ilovehim
