Violet is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu in Niles, OH, who needs $4,500 for chest tubes to treat a chest infection.

I have had violet since she was a puppy. She turned one in November. Violet is the sweetest little dog. She regularly comes to the nursing home where I work to visit the residents. She loves everyone that she meets. Everyone that meets Violet, just loves her. Her favorite person is my son, Cory.
