Pet of the Month: Chloë, 13-year-old Maltese mix, In Need of Tumor Removal Surgery

ICanHasCheezburger? is proud to present and partner with The Waggle Foundation, in a Pet of the Month initiative.

Each month, we will be featuring a pet in critical need and needs financial help to survive. We will share their story, their adorable photos, and their journey with the help of unbelievably kind strangers.

The Waggle Foundation is a unique crowd-funding platform. Their mission is to help reduce economic euthanasia in pets. Unfortunately, because of financial struggles families cannot afford to help their beloved pets. That is where the Waggle Foundation steps in. They strive to help each and every pet in need, and just as their motto says "No pet parent should lose their best friend because of financial hardship."

And we couldn't agree more.

100% of donations to pets on the Waggle crowdfunding platform go directly to the veterinary providers administering care and never to the pet owners. This way, Waggle provides the safety and security for all donors in a way that other crowdfunding platforms cannot guarantee, and is reassured that the pet gets the help it needs.

And with that, we would like to present Chloë!

Chloë didn't start out as Chelsea's dog.

Chelsea, took in Chloë when her fiance's daughter left for college and moved into a "no-pets" residence and was unable to take Chloë.
But... once the oh so charming and cuddly Maltese mix arrived at Chelsea's home, she won everyone's heart. (And it's no wonder why!)

Chelsea says. "It wasn't long before we realized just how special Chloë is. She has become the central part of our lives while she showed us her amazing qualities. She is the kid I never had."
Sadly, Chloë is struggling to get around and needs medical attention immediately.
As Chelsea explained to Waggle, "Chloë had what was once a small soft bump just under the skin on her belly until a year ago when she hurt it by jumping down off a wall. Later, it grew enormously until it began to look as it does now. Angry, red, grotesque, ulcerated, and so clearly very painful and difficult for her to walk."

Luckily, French Valley Vet is ready to remove the tumor, and her outlook is outstanding.

"Chloë's personality is hard to describe in terms of a dog because she's nearly human, it's very peculiar," Chelsea adds. "She is beyond sweet and patient. She is a hero, a huntress, a lover, a teacher, a comedian, ever playful, empathetic, tender, and there's not enough space to describe the quality of her essence as the best pal ever."
Chloe is a spunky, loving family member fighting, but needs help from the kindness of strangers.
