Hello! My name is Tatiana & I’m asking for help getting Tutu—my current senior shiba inu foster—an urgent appointment to see a veterinary cardiologist.

Tutu’s story is heartbreaking. She was saved along with 10 other dogs after the sudden passing of her owner & the owner’s husband giving a local rescue only 48 hours to find the dogs homes or he would take them to a kill shelter. The dogs lived in deplorable conditions and years of neglect were evident with each one. She was transported from southern California to Las Vegas where I am currently fostering her along with my own senior shiba inu Mulan.

Sadly, Tutu’s medical evaluation & x-rays confirmed that she has a heart murmur, as well as a suspected tumor at the base of her heart and needs to be seen by a veterinary cardiologist asap. The price of this appointment is $900 and unfortunately the rescue cannot financially support this unexpected cost after covering her bloodwork, x-rays, urinalysis and transport.

Tutu also has severely decayed teeth & several mammary tumors due to not being spayed but nothing further can be done about these issues until the condition of her heart is fully known.

I am hoping to raise $1100 to cover the cost of the appointment and medication that will more than likely be a part of her treatment.

Tutu is still confused & decompressing but has been the sweetest angel through it all. Her personality comes out more & more each day and still has so much life to live. She deserves to spend the rest of her golden years happy, healthy, safe and loved and seeing a cardiologist is the first step in making that happen.

Thank you for helping precious Tutu ❤️
