Hi everyone,

My name is Melissa, and I’m reaching out for help for my sweet dog, Oso — my 10-year-old Chihuahua. Oso has been part of my family since he was a tiny puppy, and he’s been there for me through everything — always full of love, loyalty, and his funny little personality that makes everyone smile.

Oso was diagnosed with a serious problem with his anal glands that requires surgical removal. Without the surgery, he’s in pain and at risk for severe infections or complications. The estimate for his surgery and related medical care is over $8,000, which includes anesthesia, lab work, and post-op medications.

I’m doing everything I can to cover the costs, but this amount is far beyond what I can manage on my own right now. That’s why I’m asking for help — any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in getting Oso the care he needs to live comfortably and pain-free.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with friends, family, or anyone who loves animals. Every bit of help brings us one step closer to giving Oso a healthy and happy future.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading Oso’s story and for caring. Your kindness means the world to us.

With love and gratitude,

Melissa & Oso
