Penny is a 10 year old Chihuahua in Murrieta, CA, who needs $2,000 for Cholecystectomy.

Penny, our 10-year-old Chihuahua, came into our lives just months after my husband’s mother passed. From the start, we’ve felt she was more than just a pet—she was sent from Heaven to help him cope with the loss. For 10 years, Penny has been his loyal, unwavering companion. Other than this one life-threatening issue, she’s the healthiest, most loving dog, bringing light and comfort to our family.

After hours of vomiting and not eating, we took Penny to the vet, worried about what might be wrong. After multiple tests, X-rays, and an ultrasound, we were devastated to learn Penny has a mass in her gallbladder that may be cancerous. She needs a Cholecystectomy to remove her gallbladder and prevent the cancer from spreading, so she can continue living the long, healthy life she deserves.

Despite her breed, Penny has only barked a handful of times. She’s the friendliest dog you’ll ever meet—we joke that she’d follow a stranger no matter what! Always by our side, she's so close we forget she’s not an extension of us. She adores turkey slices, sunbathing & road trips to Las Vegas. At 9, she proved “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” wrong by learning the command “DANCE".

As a single-income household due to my disability, and after Penny’s diagnosis, we’ve exhausted all that we have for her care. Penny is otherwise healthy, and this treatment could give us up to 8 more beautiful years together. She’s fighting hard, and we want to help her win
