Seven months ago, I welcomed Perla into our family, and that moment when I saw her happy face realizing she had found her forever home remains my most treasured memory. Her innocence and the incredible way she demonstrates love has brought such joy to our lives.

But now my sweet girl is suffering from multiple large kidney stones that won't dissolve with medication alone. Watching her wince in pain every time she tries to urinate breaks my heart. She has to wear diapers constantly because she can't control the frequent urge to pee, and the constant moisture is causing painful allergic reactions on her skin.

Our veterinarian has recommended surgical stone removal as the only effective treatment option. The procedure will cost $1,840.11, which is beyond what I can manage on my own right now. Perla deserves to live without this constant pain and discomfort. She's shown me what unconditional love looks like, and I'm determined to give her the healthy, happy life she deserves. Any help toward her surgery would mean the world to us.
