Yuma is a 6-year-old Maltese in Inglewood, CA, who needs $2,000 for ACL surgery.

Yuma was a gift from god, as I like to say. She was passed on from a family member when I was about 16/17. Yuma has had a loving home since the day we received her. Yuma is super spoiled. Yuma also sleeps with all family members and get’s treated like the princess that she is. Yuma has never had any health issues and is up to date with all vaccines.

Yuma is a loving family member of 4 people. She has a wonderful support system but due to covid everyone is struggling. Yuma is very lovable and caring with all members of our house hold. Yuma loves interacting with other pets & is very welcoming of strangers. As soon as someone gets home yuma jumps with joy and it’s very unfortunate that she is missing that joy because of her leg & can’t express

Due to covid, I have been financially unstable and unable to cover Yuma’s full medical expenses. I was laid off back in march and have currently been struggling to make ends meet ever since. Yuma has been my emotional support system and all I want is her well being.

Yuma is in need of your help. She needs a cruciate ligament surgery, which is super expensive and I am asking for your help. Her condition has gotten really bad and it’s at a point of no return and only surgery can fix it. She is in a lot of pain and can barely walk because of how torn her ligament is. Surgery will be done at Western Animal Hospital, in Los Angeles, California.

Yuma is more than just a pet, she is my family, my child if you will. Yuma has been with me through very tough times and has provided me support in ways that she will never know. Yuma is very attentive when I am upset or stressed. Yuma is the perfect pet & I have been blessed with her. Yuma will start to lick me when she knows things are not ok, she will stick nexts to me until my temp changes.
