Meet Sweet Petunia!
Share
Dec 19, 2013
How cute is little Petunia! She is a 2yr old female chihuahua that has what's called medially luxated patellas, meaning her knee caps are out of place and need surgical correction. She is on pain medications right now but is walking hunched because of her knees. Can you help get her into surgery asap!?
