Hachi Hospice
This little one was found in Stockton in the streets. She was having a difficult time breathing so we got her to the vet and it turns out she has a grade 5 heart murmur. She is now on several medications and we are hoping she will have great last days of her life. She actually had a chip and had been missing for a while her owner had rehomed her and the new owner to her Hachi had passed away.
11 years | 7 pounds | Female | Chihuahua\ mix | Spayed - Yes | Microchipped: yes | UTD on vaccines
