Chloe is a 6-month-old Shih Tzu pup in Columbus, GA, who needs $600 for wound care and treatment.

I found this sweet pup on the side of the road just the other night. She was very lethargic and couldn’t stand up on her own. I brought her home to find large knotted hair on her front feet so I took her in to Dr Glass where it was determined she was in need of amputation on one front leg as well as wound care on the other. Was also informed she needs IV antibiotics for the infection.

Since I haven't spent much time with her I am unaware of her favorite things (as of now) but I can tell you she is the sweetest puppy (even the Veterinarian commented as much). She instantly rolled over and let me rub her belly despite being scared and in pain. And the nurse said when she comes to open the door to check on (Chloe) Stray she tries to jump into their arms for attention.

I'm recently divorced after 25 yrs living on a fixed income and these pets are my world. Please help me with this unexpected circumstance so that I can welcome this beautiful girl into a happy & loving home which she deserve. With this help I can take great care of her!

This is an emergency situation to have her leg amputated and her wounds cared for from the severe neglect she has suffered. My goal is to get her surgery complete and get all her medical needs current and up to date so that my main focus can be on her healing as well as getting her acclimated to her new home and family. She is being treated at Macon Road Vet Clinic in Columbus GA by Dr Glass.

I have 2 other Shih Tzu's named Phrank & Theodore as well as a cat named Jaxson. Most days we start out with sunbathing on the porch until the mailman stops by to say hello. After that we take our morning walk around the pond/park. Then its lunch/dinner time followed by a well needed nap. Jaxson usually waits by the door until we return from the park so he can pounce while they are still tired.
