Tito is a 6 year old Chihuahua in Niagara Falls, NY, who needs $17,000 for MRI and Back Surgery.

We had gotten Tito during Covid. He was only 1 1/2 pounds when we got him. We were told he was a “teacup” Chihuahua (I know those aren’t truly a “thing”) but we think that his breeder gave him to us at only about 5-6 weeks to make him seem smaller. Despite being small Tito quickly showed his huge personality! He became the love of our lives!

On May 16 Tito woke up shaking which is something he truly never does. He seems ok I thought maybe he was just cold. Later that day we went on a play date at my moms and he couldn’t jump up on her porch step .. just one step. I took him home crate rested him and by the next morning his hind legs and tail had no movement. He seemed to have no feeling. We have no clue what happened to him.

Tito has become the baby I was never able to have. I suffered from infertility for years before having a hysterectomy at age 40. Bringing Tito home gave me someone to take care of. When I got a dog I never realized how much they love unconditionally. Tito has always had the stereotypical Chihuahua personality of being moody but he is so sweet to me. I have no idea what I will do if I loose him!

I love my job in March of 2026. I have gone through all of my savings and have just gotten back to work. Just being able to get Tito and MRI would mean the world to me just to know what’s wrong with him. I just want him to walk again so bad. He has so much life in him!
