Hi… my name is Bitsy.

I’m a tiny 10-pound Chihuahua mix, about 2 years old, with a heart so big it sometimes feels like it might burst.

I didn’t always know what love felt like.

I was picked up from a shelter in Southern California, where life was uncertain and scary. From there, I was brought to a loving foster home in Washington, where for the first time, I felt safe, warm, and cared for.

And then… something beautiful happened.

I found my way to my forever home in Vancouver, BC — to a wonderful woman who loves me more than I ever thought possible. She gave me the life I had always been waiting for.

Now I finally have my person. My home. My whole world.

Who I Am

They call me a “Velcro dog”… and it’s true.

Wherever my human goes — I go.

Kitchen, couch, bathroom… I’m always right there.

But I don’t just follow…

I jump into her lap, curl up, and melt into her like I belong there, because I do.

That’s my favorite place in the whole world.

A warm lap. A gentle hand. A heartbeat I can trust.

During the day, I’m full of sunshine. I wiggle, bounce, zoom, and play with everyone — big dogs, small dogs, new people. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone I didn’t love.

And when someone picks me up…

I wrap my tiny paws around them like a hug and tuck my face into their chest.

I’m a cuddler.

A hugger.

A tiny bundle of love.

At night, I sleep peacefully , sometimes in my crate, sometimes right beside my human — dreaming of toys, treats, and more lap time.

What I’m Facing Now

Just as my life became everything I ever dreamed of… something unexpected happened.

My little leg is hurting.

I have a knee condition that requires surgery so I can walk, run, and live without pain again. Right now, I can’t enjoy life the way I want to. I can’t run freely, play without discomfort, or be my happy, active self.

My mom wants to give me the best care possible — because that’s what love does.

But the surgery I need is expensive.

From the attached veterinary estimate, you can see the detailed breakdown of my procedure, including surgery, anesthesia, medications, and recovery care

The total cost is approximately $4,000 to $5,000 CAD.

My Dream

I don’t need much in life.

Just to be close to my human.

To feel safe.

To be loved.

But I also dream of something more…

I want to run again without pain.

To play, zoom, and enjoy the beautiful life I was finally given.

How You Can Help Me

If you can help me get this surgery, you’re not just helping a dog…

You’re helping a little soul who survived fear, found love, and now just needs a chance to stay happy and healthy.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to:

Running freely again

Living without pain

Staying by my mom’s side for many happy years

From My Heart

I’ve already been given a second chance at life.

Now I’m hoping for one more chance…

A chance to heal.

If you can help me, I promise I will spend the rest of my life doing what I do best:

Loving with my whole heart.

With tiny paws and a very big heart,

Bitsy
