Whlee Claxton is a 4 year old Chihuahua in Yorba Linda, CA, who needs $1,500 for Surgical Mass Removal.

I found Whlee at the located Shelter. He was 1yrs old. They said that they found him wondering the streets eating out of the garage. They were going to put him down but I refused and signed papers that I was aware that I was adopting an unknown animal and I could not hold them responsible for any acts that the animal may take towards me. I signed, and when he was out the door, he was puppy.

Whlee is an emotional support dog that has been diagnosed with a Mass Cell Tumor with granulation. It shows to be cancerous and it needs to remove ASAP because it is growing rapidly. We can not wait for very long on getting the surgery done because the longer time passes, it will get larger and create duplicate Mass's on his body and spread into is system, sooner or later, killing him.

I love my little man, Whlee. He is unique in a different special way. He has a personality and an attitude to go with that personality. He is my companion, best friend, child, and the one I keep near if I feel alone. I talk to him as if he is a person and treat him as if he is one, too. I think sometime that he thinks he is one himself...LOL. He is a very intelligent and, of coarse, protective.

I am a struggling disabled student that lives on Social Security every month and that pays the monthly rent, utilities, house supplies, hygiene, and laundry. Then I get financial aid every 4-5 months but that pays any bills that I have acquired and needed schools supplies.
