Riley is a 4-year-old Chihuahua in Hartford, CT, who needs $1,700 for Orthopedic Surgery.

I raised Riley from once she was brought to this world. Her mother refused to take care of her or feed her, so I decided to take her and bottle feed and care for her and from then it was history. Riley has always been a healthy happy dog, and is very loved by my children. Recently Riley has bit her tail to the point where she fractured it and caused infection. I am in desperate need of help.

There is me and my husband plus two girls and a beautiful baby on the way. Riley is a very friendly dog, but can get very over protective at times. She is the best thing that has happened to our growing family, and I am in desperate need of support and help to get her surgery. I was told it would be 3,000. But I am trying to find other cheaper options, but so far no luck.

I love Riley with all of me and she has been with me through the roughest times of my life. She has seen me grow to the women I am become and there’s not a thing I would not do for her. She definitely is an important member in our family. I know for some people it’s just a pet, but Riley means more to me than anything and she has emotionally brought this family together in such a beautiful way.

The vet clinic I took her to was located in Plainville, Ct. The vet has expressed the cost of surgery if I did it with them was 3,000 the most. I tried applying for care credit and looked into help and still no luck. I’m not asking for much, I know everyone is going through a lot and just even a $1 is enough, I appreciate everyone who is contributing and supporting me through this.

Riley being healthy? Getting her tail removed will help her so much because she won’t be charging or wining because of the pain anymore. She can finally remove the cone from her head and be a regular dog. Ever since the incident she has been in such pain
