Two weeks ago, Chimi nearly lost her life in a brutal dog attack near Lake Merritt. After more than four hours of emergency surgery, she woke up and tried to comfort Karlos. That tells you everything about who she is.

Since then, Chimi has undergone another long surgery and returns to the veterinarian several times each week for treatment and wound care. She is healing, but she still has a long way to go.

Chimi is Karlos’s family, and she is part of ours too. Our kids love her, and we know many of you do too. Every time we visit, we see her spirits lift.

We are raising money to help cover her surgeries, medications, veterinary visits, and continued care. Please donate if you can. Any amount will help Chimi receive what she needs to fully heal. If you cannot donate, please share her story.
