Hope For Hannah Rescue is a nonprofit, no-kill facility based in Bartonsville, Pennsylvania.

A tiny Yorkshire Terrier puppy with black, tan, and white fur rests on a gray dog bed, looking curiously at the camera.

We are desperately trying to raise funds for a six-month-old Yorkshire Terrier puppy weighing just 3.2 pounds. She requires liver shunt surgery at Virginia Tech and will not survive without it.

She is scheduled to go to Virginia Tech on October 8, where she will undergo a CT scan and bloodwork to determine whether the shunt is located outside or inside the liver. Once its location is determined, her surgery will be scheduled.
