Rex is an 11-year-old Chihuahua in Columbus, OH, who needs $550 for ultrasound, antibiotics and supplements.

Rex has been with us since he was a puppy, hes now almost 12 and has lived a happy life and has always been a bundle of energy. He lives with me and my 2 kids and loves to follow me everywhere i go. We lived in 3 bedroom house and now in small apartment but hes a tiny dog and the world is his playground.

Rex likes outside and we go for walks and he likes to sit in the doorway when the suns out. He loves us and we love him. Rex is certainly a mamas boy and goes where I go. My kids are 15 and 9 and he likes to play with them and greets us at the door with his toys and runs around when them even after hes noticed.

Rex is special because hes rex. He is my first dog and we have been through a lot together. We went thru a bad relationship together and went from living in a house to a small apartment but hes still happy and still is wherever i go. Even when I got to the bathroom or shower hes next to the tub laying.

With covid and the cost of everything going up this year it has been hard for me to pay bills and groceries, we do not get any govt help so its all paycheck to paycheck. As hes getting older hes gotten more sore joints and its been harder for him to walk and jump, though hes still always happy to see us when we get home.

Rex has been in alot of pain with his joints and back and has not been able to go upstairs or jump on the bed or couch so we went to the vet, 200$ later we got him meds, but his liver enzymes are high and they are mentioning doing an ultrasound and antibiotics and more
