Sam was was on her way to the euthanasia room when spotted by our rescue person at a city shelter.  When asking about the little girl we were told that she had several large tumors and every other rescue group had declined her.  They felt that they had no choice but to euthanize her.  Well they hadn't asked Little Shelter and there was no way we were going to let this little girl meet such an unfortunate end.  Sam was brought back to Little Shelter where she was diagnosed with late stage lymphoma.  She will need 6 -12 months of chemotherapy and undergo regular testing to monitor her progress, including blood work and x-rays.  Unfortunately after beginning chemo, Sam was stricken with pneumonia which delayed her treatments and set her back.  It pains us to see this charismatic little girl in so much discomfort.  At just 6 years old, most Chihuahua’s have many years ahead of them, but unfortunately we don’t know what lies ahead for Sam.  We will go to the ends of the earth to help this little girl survive and live a quality life, but we need your help! Sam almost met a premature end in a cold, sterile, city shelter.  Please help make her future brighter - click below to make a generous donation and ensure that Sam and others like her, continue to receive life-saving treatment.
