Save Zaida's eyesight!

Zaida was surrendered by her previous owner to a high kill shelter due to a "change in lifestyle".  Even though Zaida is your perfect cutie patootie micro-pet, she still was on the list to be euthanized because the shelter was overrun with dogs and she didn't "present" well. We rescued her because we knew once we got her out of the shelter we would get to know who Zaida really is and find her perfect home. Since we've had her in foster care we've discovered that although Zaida is only 4 pounds, she has a personality big enough to fill the room. Sassy, bossy and loving, she is little but fierce and will love you with all her might. 

It's crazy to think, this dog was going to have to face death when she had the ability to make people laugh and smile every day, she was just too scared to show it. 

Unfortunately, as soon as Zaida had overcome that initial setback, we discovered another one. At first what appeared to be a sign of being cautious soon has been diagnosed as premature cataracts. At the young Chihuahua age of 4, in human years Zaida is in her early 20’s. Could you imagine losing your eye sight at such a young age and only seeing shadows of such a big big world? Zaida has so much life left to live, so many sights to see with whoever is lucky enough to be her forever family. We will not allow a young dog to go blind if we can help it. Luckily Zaida is in great overall health and our vet feels she is a great candidate for surgery! Bad news is, it's a $6,000 surgery.

We know the world is insane right now and donating to us might be low on the priority list, but just think that this is another innocent life that had gone through needless trauma that needs your help. Literally any amount helps, dig through your couch cushions and donate what you find! Any amount of leeway you have, Zaida needs. Please help Zaida on her journey to finding her happy ever after.
