I have had a very hard life especially for only being 1 1/2 yrs old. My previous owners did not care for me the way they should have they allowed me to have puppies. They also neglected me meaning I had two bacterial ear infections and I was infested with fleas so bad I had no fur on my back and rump. I also had a skin infection from the fleas. I also have heartworms I had for about 8months says the vet. I found myself away from my puppies and running the streets. I found a buddy to run with. I had no tags or collar. (See I told you my people did not care) I also have no microchip. My new friend did not have any of these either. On April 20th 2006. I found a nice lady named Brandi Roth. I was running in front of her house with my new friend. She saw us run in front of cars and invited us into her fenced in backyard. She feed us and gave us clean water. She put up flyers and a ad in the paper. No one called to claim us. Oh did I mention, She gave us flea baths after we had been there only one day. The next day she put some stuff on us to make the fleas stay away. I think it was Advantage. ;) Oh, we got to play with her german Shepard named Dutchess and a really nice 10 yr old little boy. After one week and still no calls about us. Brandi and her Husband Mike took us to the vet on 4-27-06. My buddy they started calling him Rebel they found a nice vet tech at the office to adopt him and give him a wonderful home. I saw the vet and he looked at my ears and skin he made me mad when he checked me for mange (see I said my skin and ears were  bad;( ). It was negative. YEAH  But, he also checked me for heartworms and found out I have them. He sent me home with meds and ear drops. After 1 week with my new mom and dad and little boy and new furry friends. I felt alot better. I started to return all the love these new people has shown me. I get to sleep in their bed at night, lay on their couch during the day, and give a whole lot of kisses. They have taken me to the beach, to the pet store and let me pick out my new toys. I have had alot of fun with them in just the three weeks I have been with them. My hair is growing back very nicely I have no more draft back there (haha). My ears are much better too. But I need to ask for your help now. My new owners need a little help in getting me treated for the heartworms. I am going to let them tell you about it because it just makes me to sad to think about it. 
Hi my name is Brandi Roth. I found this beautiful little Staffordshire bull terrier running the streets in Saint Petersburg. She told you she had a friend and her story up until now. The only thing she does not know is that I called around to all the local shelters when I found her and no one would take her. Because they said she was a pit bull. I found one local shelter that would and they would just put her to sleep. I could NOT let that happen. everything else you know. We have fallen in love with this beautiful baby girl. I think she was sent to us by our lab mix and/or shepard mix we lost last year. One was to arthritis and old age and the other to bone cancer. Which is why we are in a financial bind. We spent over 4000.00 dollars on treatment and amputation for our Gypsi. But I would not trade it for the world. We plan on taken very good care of our newest addition we are even going to put her on the same insurance as our other pets. Petcare ins. we need your help to make sure she gets this treatment and has a very long and happy life. Please help her! Thank You in advance for any help you can get us.

I found the importance of pet ins. afteer losing my lab mix to osteosarcoma caner last feb. thatg was a very heartbreaken ordeal and expensive she did not have ins. "," Not to pat myself on the back because I do it cuz its the right thing to do. I have always been the person that will help any other animals if and when they need it lost or abused or neglected or just as simple as left in a car with no one with them. Do you realize how many people I have chased down in stores while my husband stayed with the car. Also how many times I have called the poplice because of it. My family jokes with me saying we have an sign in my front yard that only animals can see saying if you are lost come here Brandi will help you. I have even had them lay in my driveway and wait for me to come home. is that wierd or what? I will never forget the cat I found with a 10' chain attached to his collar that he got caught around a tree in my driveway I had to get him unstuck and he ended up going to friends of animals he had hiv. The stories could just go on and on but back to my point. My vets office knows when I find a animal with no collar or tags because I always call to say I am coming in so they will scan them for a chip. Even last night when walking my now 3 dogs. I had a boston terrier come up and tryed to fight with my chihuahau. He had no collar so I picked up my chi. took the leash off of his harness and handed him snarling and growling to my husband which had Dixie. Told him and my son which had Dutchess the shepard to go home and my husband to get the car. I then chased down the hyper terrier to leash him. then about five mins. later here comes his owner looking for him. Happy Ending. Yes, I also have a German Shepard we got from SPCA for my 10 year old son he was devastated when we lost our 6 yr old lab/rott. mix Gypsi that we also got from animal services when she was 8 wks old.. Within 3 weeks of losing her we had to make the decision to put done our oldest Sonya due to old age and spinal arthritis. all but three of her vertebraes had fused together and the predisone and amaryl was not helping anymore. We also rescued her when she was about 1 1/2 yrs old from a local car lot that had her tied to a tree with a leash and was scared of her so they would open a can of food and push it up to her with a stick. I ask if I could have her they said if I could get near her I could. It is amazing what a pork chop with do! haha. From then on she was ours. We found out she also had hearworms 1 year later it took that long for them to show up. But she was so bad with them she was critical. The same vets office did her treatment then its was back in 1993 when they still used the iv in the vain method. We put her back on heartguard and she still had a wonderful full life with us after that for about 13 years she was my husbands baby girl. She was a great nanny dog for our son. but anyway back to Dixie and I need to wipe my tears away because I still miss my babies. She needs to have this treatment asap per the vet so any help I can get would be appriciated. I just get so frustrated with this because I have done so much for other org like my local spca I donated  2 cool-a-roo beds after I lost Gypsi and Sonya and donated an med size dog crate to them as well. When I need to ask for one favor in return and try to get help with a stray I find suddenly no one can help. But it will not keep me from continuing to help the pets in need. I am sorry I just had a temporary aggrevation moment. I really hope you can help and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Lisa notified us on 04/25 that ""Butterscotch"" was put on the PTS list due to Kennel Cough.  David and I agreed to pull him, and Lisa agreed to put him in Isolation for up to (2) weeks until he recovered and we would move him to Tuscon to Adopt a Bull.

This never happened because the the morning I dropped ""Butterscotch"" off he vomited white foam and within hours the Vet's office tested him for Parvo, which came back Positive.

It cost $780.00 then a follow-up visit that cost us $190.00. after the tumor was removed ab;ut 3 to 4 weeks later we noticed she was lethargy, so we took her back to this same vet. without even examining her he told us she had pyometra and it would cost us $1290.00 for surgery. we did not have that kind of money so we took her home. 2 weeks later she was getting worse so i got on the phone and called diff. animal hospt. and vets to see if some one could help me out, to no avail. finally, i called the animal hospt. in Torrance, CA to inquire about putting her to sleep since i could not afford to pay for her medical. the Dr. at the animal hospt. in Torrance told me that if i could come up with $680.00 he would do the surgery for pyometra. well when he did the surgery he said that he was not impressed that it was pyometra because her insides was too clean, not like pyometra. The Dr. removed her uterus and ovaries anyway since ""Jade"" had never been spayed. I was told to pick her up by 8am the following morn. which i did. a week afer the surgery i noticed these lumps in her stomach; one as big as my hand and Jade was having some difficulty moving. I was told to bring her in because it sound like she was allergic to the sutures. I took jade in another Dr. looked at her and said she thought the lumps were mamary glands and maybe cancerous. I could not beleive that because before the surgery she never had these, anyway the charged me $90.00 which i was not expecting to be charged since it was a follow up and was involving her surgery anyway i had to pay the $90.00 (bill money). then i started taking her to another vet. who would always give me all kinds of meds. for jade and then would change the meds. with each visit (more money i didnt have, plus i was stuck with all these meds. the dog was no longer taking. (wasted money).
The lumps on her stomach eventually starting going away. She developed worms i went to petco and bought deworming meds. she was doing fine. On saturday we took her to the vet. regarding the worms thinking her would do a specimen to see what type of worms she had (lil white worms) but all he did was give us more meds. I explained to him that i had bought deworming meds. from petco but he said that was ok to just take he meds. he was going to precribe eventhough, i had already given her the other medication. We asked him about her limping and being not steady on her legs all of a sudden and he said that i was due to all that she had been through in such a short time and they billed us ($70.00) and sent us on our way. Saturday nite she went to potty and had difficulty getting up the stairs. On Sunday my dog could not use her back legs; as if she was paralyzed. We did not know what was wrong with her and did not have any more money. we have spent like $3000.00 and we just did not have anymore money, so we made a much thought about and heartwrenching dicision to put her down. we we arrived at animal control I met a nice lady by the name of Rita Lasman, who told me to take my dog home and she would do everything in her power to help me to get the medical care my dog needed in order to live. Jade it turns out had a herniated disc in her back. the surgery is 5,100.00. I did not have a dime of the money. we applied for Carecredit and was approved for $3600.00 so we are trying to get the balance of her bill. Jade had surgery on 5/22/06 evening and will be in the hospt. for 3 days. The Hospt. allowed us to use the $3600.00 as a down payment and we have to have the balance when we pick her up.

Monday on the way home, Tiki acted very tired.  We figured it was because of the long weekend.  Tuesday and Wednesday she wouldn't eat.  Wednesday Afternoon I contacted my vet who said to do my best to keep her hydrated and bring her in Thursday am.  Upon examining Tiki, he quickly advised to take her to intensive 24 hour care.  That she was dying.  I took her to the 24 hour care and had to give up my last amount of money that was actually my rent money ($500) for them to start treatment.

I don't know if you rec'd my application or not.  My fingers are sore from typing between scholarship apps and financial add apps for my dog, so I will summarize quickly here. I can provide more detail if you did not receive the app I previously filled out. 
Hooch is a 5 yr. old AmStaff/APBT. Nuetered. UTD on vacs/titers good Distember and Parvo and HW preventive. I cofounded North East Rottweiler Rescue and Referral, but now work on my own or with For the Love of Dog or Animal Rescue Referral Network of NE.  I was called about 4 yrs ago to eval 2 pits at the Pelham NH dog pound, which had been confiscated from neglectful/abusive owners. We vetted the dogs, nuetered/spayed,etc.  Through cooperative efforts with the Salem Animal Rescue League (SALEM, NH), the female was adopted out. No one suitable could be found for Hooch. Hooch spent nearly 10 months in shelters. I took him because I could not bear seeing him in a tiny, dark cage for months on end. He had an ear infection when I officially ""adopted"" him. He has since had chronic allergies, Lyme Disease diagnosed, chronic ear problems, skin infections, knee/cl problems.  He is my $10000 free dog. The current issue is painful ears that after having seen at least five different vets, used baytril, tresaderm and cholorhexidine, as well as allergy shots have not responded to treatment. The ear clinic for pets, Dr. Dutton (603-529-4999), had to anesthesize Hooch and do a deep ear cleaning.  The reason for the anesthesia is that Hooch was in excruciating pain upon examination with  a swab.  He is a good natured dog. The right ear drum was totally deteriorated and has resulted in major hearing loss. The left ear drum was intact but also showed signs of middle ear infection. Both ears had to be flushed with use of a video otoscope ($20K of machinery that most vets don't have), cleaned and scraped and antibiotics put in there. The cost of the 2nd opinion exam was $52. THe cost of yesterday's cleaning was $237.  The vet says he needs 3 more of these procedures at 2 week intervals over the next 6 weeks. The total cost will be $900-$1050 assuming nothing goes wrong. He is in considerable pain. In addition to Hydroxyzine, he is now on Prednisone. I was planning to use him as my working therapy dog. He is an AKC CGC, ATTS TT, and registered with TDI.  Because he has been in such excruciating pain, I have not been able to start therapy work for fear he will associate pain with his work. I was laid off from my job after returning from short term disablility due to sleep apnea/surgery.  I collect unemployment at $408 before taxes. My rent is $700.  I have spent close to $2000 on Hooch this year, and nearly $3000 last year on VETS alone. I have tried acupuncture, holistic, herbs, even chiro (thinking his head tilt was nuerological/muscular in nature, but is due to ears).  I am enrolled as a full time college student to try to get a better paying job.  I have applied to 200 companies since Feb.  No luck. I can pay one more month rent and then have to vacate premises. I am divorced, no kids. I have an ailing mother. I live with my exboyfriend and we are only roommates (separate rooms). He is taking up 1/2 my share of the rent, no utilities included.  He can't help with anymore than that. I get no public assistance because I don't have kids and get a small income and live w/someone even though I support myself. If I can't treat Hooch, I will be forced to surrender him. As you know a dog with his medical issues and breed stigma has little chance of being adopted. We couldn't even adopt him when he was ""healthy and young"".  His best chance is with me. He is an outstanding rep of the breed and after being through so much, he deserves a chance to live a pain free or close to it life. I am willing to provide extensive documentation and references on what I have contributed to rescue of pit bulls and rottweilers, not to mention cats, turtles, raccoons and skunks!","SPS Hooch, CGC, TT, TDI","Over 5 Years","male","yes","American Staffordshire Terrier","Rescued from an abusive situation","Pelham Dog Found, Hudson Animal Control Jana MacMillan, Hudson NH","3 years","yes","Middle ear infections, ruptured ear drum, extensive yeast and wax plugs","Dr. Dutton

I have seen at least 10 vets, acupuncturist, herbalists, chiropractors and have done everything they told me to do.  My quality of life stinks, as well as Hooch's at this point. I have to constantly try to distract him or scold him for digging at his hears or licking his feet. He is a good rep of the breed and has done much to show people what true pit bull temperament is.  I have endured personal sacrifice to pay for his vet bills and can't do it anymore. I support myself. I suffer from depression/bipolar disease as well as fibromylgia.  Losing Hooch or worse euthanizing him due to these painful ears, will be devastating needless to say.  I am at the end of my rope. THank you.

They were rather annoyed at having to care for these puppies. At less than 3 weeks old they had the puppies eating DRY ADULT dog food, because buying any puppy food was ""just a waste of money"" (even though these puppies should have still been on mothers milk at this point anyway) They told me that they were getting ready to go on vacation and any puppies that weren't taken would either just be left to fend for themselves or taken to the pound.

When Sheba holds her leg up, the knee is in place, but when she goes to straighten it out (i.e. walk on it) the knee pops out of place. 

Sheba is in a lot of pain and refuses to use her lame leg at all - instead walking on 2 front legs and 1 back. It hurts for her to sit down, and it takes time for her to situate her lame leg so she can lie down.

","1 Cat - Miko, currently living with my room-mate in Nebraska","Sheba is the most wonderful, smart and loving dog I have ever met. She gets so excited with you talk to her or pet her that not just her tail wags - but her entire body wiggles. Once she gets calmed down she loves to just lie on your lap and sleep (all 51 pounds of her!) 

She is also SO gentle! She won’t take a treat from you until you say 'take' then she sticks out her tongue for you to place the treat on, then she slowly brings it in her mouth. The children in the town I live in in Nebraska LOVE her and she loves kids! She'll let them put silly hats on her, or paint her nails - just lying there with a smile on her face.

 For the last several weeks - since she has stopped using that leg - she has become growly and nippy. She even went after a friend of my moms growling, barking and nipping at her. The vet says this is because she is in pain and scared and should stop when her leg is fixed. I don't want my sweet loving dog to go mean, I couldn't handle that!

Last October my families’ world fell apart when my mom was diagnosed with advanced Cancer. She spent several weeks in a coma and several months in the hospital. I quit my job and came out to take care of her. Now my dog is not well and I can't afford to help her!

I never thought I would own a dog but couldn't leave any animal in this condition.  Originally I thought I would find a good home for the dog, but he has an aggressiveness towards smaller built dark colored men and I mean he goes right for the groin area with no bark or growl and all paws off of the ground.  My family is now terrified of the dog and is urging me to have him put down or give him back to where I got him from.  Until I know for sure if he is uncureable I don't want to do that and I will not give him back to where he came from, I will have him put down before I do that, no animal should have to live like that.

My financial situation is I live paycheck to paycheck.  Single mother, one son.  Real Estate has been hard hit and I have taken a part time job managing property.  I have one charge card that is maxed out and bills that need to be paid.  The vet will let me make payments when I need to, however, the U of M wants full payment.  I have one loan that is past due and another that I have managed to keep current.  I really do not need the added expense of a dog, but, bills will wait, this dog cannot.  I am willing to pay anything I can, but $400 - $500 is out of the question nad logically it should be applied to keeping the house running.  My family wants and deserves an answer as to whether or not this dog is safe to be around and I want the dog to be able to have a good life if that is possible.

I just want to know if the dog is OK and can be kept by anyone or if he is uncontrollable and needs to be put down.","Spear","9 to 18 Months","male","no","Pit Bull (APBT","Rescued from an abusive situation","While working one day I located a dog that was being mistreated and

11 month old male pit bull, I don't know what to do with him, I thought I would give him to a good home.

I contacted the University of Minnesota who originally told me the cost would be about $200-$250 and I could handle that.  Now, however, the real cost is going to be $400-$450 and I cannot swallow that.  It would be almost cheaper to have him put down but I don't believe that one incident (after moving from one enviroment to another) is enough to make me do that.  I have since found out that no one will look or feel at ease with him unless he is ""evaluated"".  It is also the safest thing to do, I would never forgive myself if he were to hurt someone.

 He has been the kindest, sweetest dog and has a dog buddy that he
cannot wait to play with, surprisingly enough his buddy is a male.  So I know his aggressiveness is not towards other dogs, I think.
The U of Minnesota referred me to you and I cannot locate a Minnesota

Thank you for your consideration.

He had the sweetest face and was not scary, even though he weighed over 100 lbs. I wasn't looking for a Dog that big, but after talking to someone who worked at the animal control, I found out that they haven't had much luck finding an owner for him because of his size. I took one last look at his sweet brown eyes before running home to tell my husband I had found our new baby. We went up to the pound the next day 05/30/06 and paid the money to rescue him. Because we were so excited to get him we didn't notice Cliffords Severe limp until after we had gotten him home and bathed. The next day we took him to the vet and found out that he has two torn acls on his back knees, and needs surgery. Right before we adopted Clifford, my husband injured his knee at work, and the company has no workman's comp, so he has been unable to work more than 10 hours a week as his job keeps him on his feet working as an after-school director. We have a high house payment and were only expecting to pay for basic care for our new dog, not pay $2400 for two surgeries. After finding his diagnosis I got in contact with the humane society of lewisville who has been helping us with keeping the Vet and prescription costs down. So far we have paid $250 in office visits and Rimadyl, and have received donations of rimadyl and glucosamine (to ease his pain)

Box 177","","Wilton","California","95693","916-204-3407","559-285-3424","brandy.duncan@gmail.com","","","12 days ago, Patty put Peaches in a crate at 10:30 p.m. and when she let her out just 1 1/2 hours later, her front right leg was completely lame and she was obviously in great pain.  Patty took her to Hatton Vet (Dr. Ku - 916-689-1688)the next morning and got several x-ray views of her leg (total $331.00). There was a questionagle are on her front right leg (humerus bone), however, the view that was taken did not present a clear picture.  After new x-rays were taken (total $141.00)it is suspected to be bone cancer.  Peaches has been put on pain meds(refilled yesterday total $43.40) I am requesting funds in order to obtain a definitive diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment for Peaches from the experts at UC Davis.  The estimate from UC Davis is $800.00.  This includes a biopsy, chest x-rays and an ultrasound which I was told is the only way to obtain a difinitive diagnosis.

Peaches is not just your average run of the mill nice pit bull.  She is truly exeptional. After being pit fought for several years, and then being turned into a breeding machine, Peaches was confiscated as evidence when her owner was arrested for his dog fighting activities.  Peaches (formerly known as Sandy)was then held at the Sacramento County Shelter as evidence for about nine months, where I met her when I was volunteering.  During this time she was held in a 6x9 kennel with little human interaction, but her positive nature never faltered. She became a favorite of the staff and volunteers alike and was always happy to see anyone who ventured by.

Standard policy for pit fought dogs after their evidence hold was complete (at the time) was automatic eauthanasia.  The judge decided to tranfer Peaches to the SSPCA for evaluation after being bombarded with letters and calls pleading for Peaches to be spared.  Peaches not only represents the best of this breed coming throught the worst circumstances and triumphing in ways trhat no one ever expected, She also inspires people to unite to save these dogs that are so often maligned.  Everywhere peaches goes she is the center of attention and there have benn countless strangers who have met her who have stated that she has changed their view of the breed and that is BEFORE hearing her story.  Peaches has a long list of character references, and I often jokes that if Patty ever got hit by the proverbial bus it would be the only case in history where the lawsuit was over not who gets the money, but who gets the dog.

Patty, peaches official owner, has also been a champion of this breed.  She Co founded the Sacramento SPCA ""We Pay to Spay Program"" for Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Mixes.  As of last count, this program had spayed/neutered close to
3300 pit bulls and pit bull mixes.

Patty is also the direct reason that SB 861 was altered to include the language which states that no breed or breed mix may be declared dangerous or vicious.  She worked with Senator Speier's cheif of staff Richard Steffen and was able to get the Senators office to change the language of the bill.  This was also Partly because of Peaches inspiring story.  
While Patty is very proud of all of the rescue work that she has done (she has placed somwhere around 200 foster dogs, most of them Pit Bulls)  She is feeling a tremendous sense of guilt now that one of her own., and ICON no less, needs her help and she is not financially able to do all she wishes she could.

I don't know if this situation meets all of the requirements, but I'm hoping for a little latitude when you consider both who Peaches is and what Patty has done for the breed.

Taz isn't sick, but he does need any help you can give...
We are both full time students and live off of loans and grants and summer is always hard, but this summer has been unbearable. It seems like everything is going wrong. We are on the verge of loosing all our utilities and have already lost our car insurance for the only vehicle we have to get to school to get the money we live off of. The gas prices are nickel and diming us to death and to be perfectly honest, the bank has taken alot of any money we had coming from selling some of our stuff on ebay.
The dogs have been eating people food for over a week now as we have no money at all and can't seem to borrow any...no one seems to care that the dogs aren't getting what they need. Our food stamps only go so far and we are almost out of those and don't get more until the 11th of August. Taz, Max and Brandy are great and loyal dogs and it pains me to see them hungry. Hot dogs, oatmeal, cold cereal, mashed potatoes, and milk have been rationed out to them. If you can help, we would be blessed.

Paul has stayed in touch over the years and constantly calls with updates on Anna. He has proven to be a wonderful bully owner.  However, Paul is very low income. He was injured in an accident and is on disability. He does work part-time but his income is very limited.  He always makes sure Anna is well cared for. She receives her routine veterinary care and she eats well!!  Paul adores Anna and is desperate to provide her with the surgery she needs. His vet is offering a discounted rate but it is still out of his financial reach. Second Chances Pit Bull Rescue is NOT a 501(3)(c). Debbie Jaworski operates this rescue using her own funds. We are able to donate $100 toward Anna's surgery but unfortunately, that's all we can do. Since we are not a non-profit, we can not fund raise for Paul.

This is a heart condition in which the right ventricle of his heart was to small to allow proper blood flow. His story: I work for a vet clinic and one day a guy brought a gorgeous 10 week old puppy in because he had diaherria. During the exam the vet found a heart murmur which at the time was thought to be a PDA. The owner of the puppy (Skyler) had him sold but thought at that point the buyers probably would not want him since the sugery was expensive and without the sugery his life expectancy was maybe 1 year. In fear that the puppy would be sold as a bait dog or killed, I offered to take him if the buyers didn't want him. Well, the buyers didn't want him and I have him. Well in our search to try to get his heart fixed a doctor at the Ohio State Vet Hospital agreed to do the $2,000 sugery Skyler need for $700. While doing the cario workup ($400) they found that Skyler did not have a PDA he had Pulmonary Stenois. The Cardio Unit agree to perform the balloon Valvplasty sugery ($3,000) for Skyler for the $700. Skyler did wonderful and his heart has shown improvement but because he has grown from 30lbs to 90lbs, he is now 1 1/2 years old, the valve did not and so he needs one more sugery to open the valve more. OSU Vet hospital has agreed to do the 2nd sugery for $700. Do to my recent divorce I have not had the money to do it. I have sold everything of value that I have (which ain't much, my washer and dryer and my dishwasher) and I'm still $500 short. I make about $1600 monthly and since I don't get any assistant and have two children all my money goes to the household. Skyler is not neutered yet because of the heart condition but will be neutered as soon as he can be. He is a great dog. He knows tricks, he is great and gentle with my kids and has not shown any agressive behavior toward anyone. He is the ideal pit bull. I'm not part of a group I'm just try to help what animals I can.

My son actually moved out for the first time (but didnt go too far) because i wouldnt allow him to bring the dog into my home. He actually slept outside on our porch with the dog and refused to come inside without him. The two were inseperable. Seeing this bond,i educated myself on the breed and was quite amazed on what i learned.  My son has struggled with many emotional problems (divorce, alcholic father, depression, as well as several learning disabilites, and for the first time, i saw a sense of peace in him.  About five months ago, my son agreed to go to college (with my persuasion).  The agreement was that i had to take care of his dog while he was away at school.  Needless to say, I have grown to love this dog and dread the day that he ever has to leave my home.  He is an extremely loving dog that loves to cuddle and needs the close affection from us.  He is so intelligent that its hard to believe he is even a dog at times!  He has changed my perception of pit bulls completely (if anything, i feel like an advocate now) and more importantly, he has changed my son's life.  I owe it to him to try and find a way to save his life now.  

I would prefer to find assistance that does not require us to neuter him; however, i am not totally against it myself.  I know that there are so many dogs out there that need adopting, but I dont know if i could persuade my son to agree to this. He has already threaten to drop out of school if I do.  Knowing that Dozer is from a champion line (i was told that many ancesotrs won best in show) and seeing how intelligent he is, i would hate to deprive anyone from ever having one of his puppies (if we ever decided to breed him --but we currently have no plans for this).

I went to the closest vet by my house because she was in so much pain and he said he could do the surgury which cost me 1200 dollars. I was in college so I lived off of peanut butter for three months to pay off her bill. In November I moved to Sacramento with my new job and it stressed her out so much that she would not go to the bathroom, so I ended up paying about 500 dollars for lab work to make sure she did not have an infection. About a week after that she was doing great and was happy in our new place, but then I noticed a big ball of fluid on her knee and she started limping. She has been on antibiotics now for over a month and is still limping. The vet told me the surgury was not performed adequately and I now have to take her to a specialist in Concord, Ca where they will have to re-do the surgury which could cost up to 3,500 dollars. I am now working full time but I have to pay 935 for rent each month about 75 for gas, 50 for electricity, and 215 in car payments. Plus I travel a lot for my job which requires a lot of gasoline and I make about 2,500 a month. My credit card is already at 3,200 dollars and I only have a 5,000 dollar limit. I have been crying for the past 2 days because I do not know how I'm going to afford this. I love my dog soooo much, she is like a child to me. All of my extra money goes towards treats, food, and toys for her. I spoil her and give her all the love I have inside of me. It breaks my heart to know that I might not be able to provide this surgury for her, and if I can afford it, I may have to give her to a different family because I can't afford any more problems. I am scared she will not find a family that will spoil her like I do, or even worse may treat her badly. She is mostly pit with a little boxer in her, so the occurence that someone might try to make her a fighter eats me up inside.

We are devistated and in dire need to some financial assistance with this medical treatment.  Our Vet is working up an estimate for us, and said they would give us a discount on the overall treatment.  

McCoy came to us when an individual contacted us in early December 2006 about a stray dog that was living on her porch.  She had never dealt with dogs and was afraid to approach him.  We went to her home to assist her.  McCoy came to us wagging his tail and sort of limping.  His left back leg appeared to have a deformity or was previously broken and healed incorrectly.  We took McCoy in to get him out of the elements, it was suppose to be 15 degrees that night.  Well we quickly fell in love with McCoy and decided to keep him in our home.

McCoy's leg was broken but healed incorrectly.  We will need to also have his leg operated on after his heartworms are gone.

Our extremely lovely, adoring, sweet, handsome Chauncie died on Jan. 8.

We just returned from our 5 year wedding anniversary, saved money for this trip since we got married, ""holiday from hell"" (hellish some of the time - lost luggage the whole trip; we were in the Madrid airport when it was bombed then evacuated out onto the literally freezing runway for about 4 hours; we lost many travel days waiting for planes that never took off due to a variety of reasons; waited in ENDLESS lines to re-schedule flights; I got really sick; etc.) picked up Chauncie on Jan. 5th, and Chauncie was sick (he and the dog he was staying with got bad diarrhea over Xmas for many days), but appeared to be on the mend. The day before he died, he was completely normal, happy, energetic, hungry, playful, and loving. On the 8th, he woke up ok, but was VERY ill after eating. He was acting extra strange, and clearly could not get comfortable. He was vomiting, burying his vomit at the furthest corners of the yard, sitting in his poop area (something he NEVER EVER does), and not wanting to come inside, despite the fact that it was very very cold out. His stomach was also distended. I took him into the vet. 

The first vet was really worried about him. She did blood tests, which showed very high red blood cell counts, he had an extremely low temperature, was extraordiarily dehydrated and the x-rays looked strange. Lots of fluid where fluid shouldn't have been in his abdomen. They couldn't see anything ""weird"" with his intestines though. She sent me off to the emergency vet specialists for ultrasound and likely, surgery. 

The second vet was also extremely concerned, at this point, now more hydrated, Chauncie was vomiting blood. They prepped him for ultrasound, gave him fluids and plasma - he then started to vomit and expel blood from his rear. The ultrasound gave no indication of anything but a lot of fluid in the abdominal area. His intestines were not easily seen. Then they called the surgeon in. 

The surgeon discussed Chauncie's ""unusual"" case with the team (now 10 people caring for our little guy) and called us for permission to do surgery. We said of course, were explained the dangers, and notified that we'd be called if any ""decisions needed to be made."" The phone, so sadly, rang 15-20 minutes later. She felt Chauncie was born with a birth defect of having his intestines/colon tangled up, but was not severely affected until very dehydrated, or at least, that point. Chauncie's colon was necrotic and wrapped around his small intestine, which had atrophied, ""killing off"" his colon and was rapidly working on the rest of the intestines. She said that dog's can live without colons, even with little intestine, but there's a scary 12-16 week recovery process including a week or weeks of staying in intensive care, vomiting and with diarrhea, and often times dogs didn't make it. She gave Chauncie a less than 50% chance of making it through such a process. When asked what she would do if he were her dog, she said she would put him to sleep - with Chauncie, because of his severe dehydration, she felt he had less than 20% chance of even awakening from surgery. So... 

My husband and I are asking for financial assistance because Chauncie's vet bills for his last day was over $4000 ($433.00 at Madera Pet Hospital and 3615.00 at Pet Emergency & Specialty Center).  We have VPI insurance but it's not going to cover much of the bill.  My husband is a High School history teacher (2nd year, still paying the heavy student loans) and I am an artist/metalsmith.  I also work with Home at Last rescue - I'm a board member, do computer ads for adoptions, etc. etc.  So... two full-time jobs essentially.  Neither my husband nor myself make much money, and Chauncie's bills while we had him were always expensive (but worth it) - he had terrible allergies, and, well, shticks.  Stephen and I ask for your help because this cost is a great struggle.

They had to hydrate him first with IVs but then the obstruction did not move so they had to take him into emergency surgery.  He had very little appetite and was moping around last week so I thought it was behavioral as I was fostering a puppy and he seemed out of sorts.

They suspect that he had been a bait dog and the signs are all there that he has been. When we saw him he was tied up in the back of a dark corner of a shed and didnt have any visible food or water.  He let us have 2 of the dogs for a more than reasonable price and he was worth it. He has really grown on me in the few days ive had him and has shown no signs of aggression. i havent heard him bark once or growl at anyone of any other dog.

Mitchell is a 16 year old girl. She contacted me around Christmas time asking for help with her dog.  He is a pit/chow mix.  Her parents got divorced and she moved with her mother and brother to a condo. The neighbors are complaining about the dog making too much noise.  Mitchell's mother told her that it is HER responsibility to ""get rid of"" the dog.  The dog has not been socialized properly and has stranger issues and aggressive tendencies.  I do not believe that he is a good candidate for rehoming.  Apparently, he was a much happier dog when he was living at their old house before the divorce.  Mitchell's mother is on a 4 week vacation right now.  She told Mitchell that by the time she gets home (March 3), she wants the dog gone.  I advised her that euthanasia would be the most humane option for him.  I offered to go with her if she wanted me to.  Well, she contacted me recently and said she can't bear to put her dog down herself and asked if I would take him for her.  I feel awful for this poor girl. She is only 16 and it is so unfair that her mother is doing this to her.  I am willing to go put the dog down for her at one of Baypath's vets (with Baypath's discount), but I will ultimately pay for the euthanasia.

She has been a wonderful dog.  We have three children, 3, 7, and 8 who have grown to adore her.  She is great with kids (famous for her lick attack) and with other dogs, at least our other Pit bull mix, as well as our cat.  She was two when we got her and had lots of scars and a fear of my husband, which has since been totally erased.  We were told she had a difficult life with lots of owners and that she had seperation anxiety.  We have not seen that at all.  
Josie was hit by a car three weeks ago.  She is inseperable from our other dog and when he came in alone and nervous we knew somthing was wrong.  Josie can open doors with her jaws and that is what she had done, letting them both out.  Usually we keep the doors locked so they can't escape but the kids had come in and forgotten.  We searched for her for hours but could not find her.  My three year old kept saying she heard her in the house but we could not find her.  Finally, we realized she was under the house in a crawl space about 1 1/2 feet high.  We rigged up lights thinking she was stuck but as soon as I saw her I knew she was badly hurt.  She was crying and bloody.  I went in and drug her out.  The kids were hysterical and the only thing I could think to do was to rush her to the animal hospital.  It was 8 at night and our vet was closed.  After an hour they told me that she was in shock, had hypothermia, and potentially fatal internal injuries.  I signed forms and dealt with the kids while we waited for more information.  Finally they told us that she was bleeding in her stomach and had a dislocated leg.  We wouldn't know about the bleeding for a few hours, other than that she had road burn and lots of cuts.  They told me she would need constant care for the night, that the biggest concern was the bleeding and her body tempurature.  They then told me that for them to keep her I would need to leave a deposit.  We had about $500 in our checking account and I figured it may be about $200 or so.  They told me that the deposit was the low end of the estimate for her emergency care, which was almost $2,000.  I was in shock and told them we did not have that kind of money.  They said that they would not treat her if I did not pay.  I applied for care credit and was approved for $2,000.  Thank God.  Over the next few days we learned that her bleeding had stopped but that the ball in her joint was shattered and would need to be completely removed.  It was going to cost at least a thousand more for the medicine, care, and surgery.  By this time we had transferred her to our regular vet.  My husband wanted to put her down.  He is from El Slavador and grew up very poor.  He loves the dog but could not concieve of spending that much money, money that we did not have.  I knew that we were going to be getting our tax refund so I was able to convince them to put a check on hold until our refund came in.  I love my dog.  I made a commitment to her when we adopted her and she has done nothing but be a loyal and sweet girl to us.
I told my husband I would get a second job to pay off the bills and went ahead with the surgery.  Josie is doing better.  She is in a lot of pain but is begining to put weight on her leg.  Throughout the whole ordeal she has been as sweet and brave as ever.  The entire staff at the hospital and the vets fell in love with her, just like veryone that meets her does, even though people say she looks ""scary"" at first.    

My husand and I have started our own stonemasonry business and it is winter.  We have missed weeks of work due to weather.  This happened at a very bad time because we had not paid ourselves in order to pay our small crew.  In addition, we have invested all of our savings in this business and the first year has been hard.  I have gotten a job waiting tables at night and I did use our entire tax refund to pay the vet bill.  The problem is that we still have a $2,000 care credit bill to pay off in three months, before the 25% intertst kicks in.  There is no way that we can pay this.  No way.  If there is any help, even $100, it would mean so much to me.  It would also make my husband resent me a little less as he still has mixed feelings about my decision to go ahead and save Josie no matter what.  Please help me with these bills.  Josie is teh best ambassador you can imagine.  She has changed many peoples perceptions about pit bulls and has brought so much love into our house.  She deserved to be saved even though we really couldn't afford to do it.  I would be happy to give your our vets name or the hospital to corraborate this story if needed.

In this case I just said yes to everything they could do to first save her and then to treat her and prayed that it would work out.  I am asking for help with the Care Credit bill.  Even though we were approved for $2,000 we cannot pay that.  We cannot even make monthly payments, after all we have spent already and our mortgage and other bills and food ,etc.

Anything would be a help to us.  $1,000 would be ideal because then it would lower the balance and the interest would not be so high as I pay teh rest of it it off.  But again, anything would help.  Please consider us.

I asked our vet for help but he said the most he coudl do was keep our check on hold until our refund came in.  He did tell me there are groups like yours that might help.  That is how I found you.  ","Submit","Wednesday, February 21, 2007"

I owned and ran my own business for the past 3 years and we finally closed our doors due to finances.  Currently I live month by month and have a $2200/mo monthly mortgage along with 22k in CC debt that we are trying to pay down.  I noticed my dog was sick this past week and he had a fever an lost 8 lbs.  On 2/20/07 I brought him into the vet and he was evaluated for weight loss, elevated liver enzymes,low platelets, and trouble breathing.  When I bought him, he had a history of a heart murmur which isnt present now.  An ultrasoud showed a uniformly enlarged liver.  He had evidence of pancreatitis.  On 2/21/07 I brought him back for chest x-rays and a heartwork test.  His heart looked small on x-rays but does not have heart disease.  They did find a mass if some kind in the front part of his lung; it only shows in one view and they couldnt figure what that meant.  He was sent home with metronidazole and cephalexin.  On 2/26/07 he came back for a check up.  They found via ultrasound that he developed a large amount of fluid inhis stomach.  I can not afford to hospitalize him for the fluid sample and a liver biopsy.  They sent him home again with furosemide and prednisone.  His belly seems to be getting bigger.  We measured 27 inches in diameter and now today it is 28 inches measured from the same spot.  He has lost his fever, is a bit more active and playing with our yorkie.  But his breathing is still faster paced and a bit heavy.  He is eating a little bit, mostly deli meats (turkey) since that is the only thing we can get him to eat with his medicine.  He is drinking water regularly.  his urine was a brownish color bu now since has colored back to the ""normal"" color.  He is pooping but still pasty and very little.  I am concered for his health and his heria, which he's always had since day 1, is getting red around the hernia on the stomach.  He is turning 6 this year in Arpil.

We choose to adopt from them (as opposed to our local humane society) because the pound has such a high kill rate and 8 out of 10 of their dogs are pit bulls.

Hank is unaltered and was adopted to us under the condition that we have him fixed within 30 days or Evansville Animal Control would seize him.  

Hank was also not using his back left leg when we adopted him.  We took him to the vet the day that we got him and found out that he has luxation of the patella and will need surgery for it.  We have since started him on Dasaquin (a glucosamine supplement), and it has helped him to use his leg more.  We know that he will need surgery for it, but it is not urgent, as our vet has reassured us that he is only feeling discomfort and not pain.

Our situation for not being able to afford his neuter at this time:  In November 2006, one of our dogs suddenly became ill with IMTP (immune-mediated thrombocytopenia).  While it ultimately killed him, we spent $5000 in treatments and blood transfusions in an effort to save him.  We have gone through great pains to get this paid off, but we still owe our vet $700.

As mentioned above, our vet saw Hank right after his adoption to make sure that he was in decent health, but they told us that we must have that $700 balance paid off before they are able to do anything else for us.  We are very loyal to our vet, and we understand this is part of running a veterinary practice.  However, we are struggling to pay this remaining $700, and THEN we'll still have to come up with the money for Hank's neuter (which they have estimated to be $211-$326).

Our other two dogs are fixed, and we understand how incredibly important it is to neuter pets.  Animal Control told us that we had 30 days to have Hank neutered.  It has now been 45 days, and we are getting desperate.  We are concerned that they will seize him.  

We would like assistance with paying our previous debt, as well as will Hank's neuter.  We hope that his knee surgery can wait until next year, at which point we will be able to afford it.  We are most concerned that our vet cannot provide us with any other services until the $700 is paid--it's VERY important that Hank is neutered.  Also, we are worried that something might happen to one of our other dogs (illness, injury, etc), and we will not be able to take them to the vet because of our balance.","Hank","19 to 36 Months","male","no","Pit Bull (APBT","Shelter","We adopted Hank from Evansville Animal Control (http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/IN188.html).

We rescued Abby from a local rescue when she was a pup.  Two years ago abby pulled her cruciate ligament in her right rear leg and we had her x-rays done to make sure what is was and then had to take her to an orthopedic surgeon in Malvern, PA to have the leg taken care of.  That was a very emotional roller coaster for me to see her like that after surgery but all was for the best because she was able to walk again on her leg without any pain.  

It seems that Abby is having a lot of trouble with her left rear leg at this time.  She is going in to the vet on Friday to get an x-ray to see if it is the same situation as 2 years ago but we are assuming that it is.  The problem that we are having now is we are unable to fund her surgery this time.  My husband is currently in school and work part time which he got laid off and I am on maternity leave and not receiving any income.  The practice where we took Abby before for the surgery is saying that the surgery will probably run about $2400-$2800 depending on her weight.

I am writing to see if we would be able to receive any help/funding from PBRC because we are in desperate need for Abby to get her leg repaired but we are not in a financial situation to get it done and we do not want her in pain.  We are hoping that after this surgery that she will be able to run and play with our other dog again and next winter be able to enjoy the snow that we get, she LOVES to play in the snow but is unable to this year because we don't want her running on her bad leg.

Owner can not afford medications and/or surgery for their dog. Pet currently has primary glaucoma. He's painfully blind in the right eye and needs an enucleation/eye removal performed. He's currently on glaucoma medication which is not controlling the intraocular pressure which is why the pet is in pain. He is also currently on prophylactic medication to prevent glaucoma in the left eye. The left eye, currently, is sighted and comfortable. The owner's are toying with the idea of euthanasia because they can not afford to keep their pet comfortable due to financial restraints.

I've never seen a puppy so sick in my life.  During his sickness his back legs were useless and he dragged himself around on his front legs.  He wagged his tail every time my daughter came near him.  After proper care, we got through that.  During a visit to my parents he ate rat poison.  (my parents told me they had removed it but I'm dealing with one with dementia and one is an alcoholic...)  Due to quick action, I was able to save him.  Now JD has torn a ligament in his back knee and requires a special orthopedic surgeon to repair the knee before the other knee gives out.  He needs the TPLO surgery.  My husband and I considered unthinkable things because we can not afford this surgery.  I've been through so much with this dog. He literally tucks our kids into bed at night with us.  He outweighs our blind and deaf dog by 60 pounds and is so gentle with him.  JD may not be the smartest dog in the world but I truly believe he has the kindest heart of any dog I've ever seen.  We just spent money we don't have on a fence for the front yard to make our neighbors feel more safe (JD is a pit/lab mix)  While I have always kept him on a short leash and feel he is the best trained dog in the entire neighborhood, we have about 4 neighbors who have read every pit bull attack story in the newspaper.  Now we've been hit with a 3,000 Federal and a 1,000 State back taxes from an error that was made three years ago.  My car and my pool both need repair.  We are just up to our eyeballs right now.

He's a great dog, great with children, he tucks each of my kids into bed at night.  He has benefited from daily training and is great with other dogs and people.  He is definitely worth saving but the family can not afford his surgery.

Richard's bone and muscle development has been hindered on the entire back half of his body due to his patella placement.  His upper body has over-compensated for his inability to use his back half for strength and support.
Dr. Schwarz seemed urgent to correct the problem, as every day puts more stress and strain on the patellas.  This is especially true because he's a big breed pup who is active, still growing, and lives with three other big breed dogs.","Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center of New Mexico

Richard's sister, Luna, his mom, Ninita, and Hooch, an 11-month old malamute/mastiff.","When I acquired Richard and his Mom, Ninita, last August, it was an unexpected addition to my family.  The person who they originally belonged to abruptly changed his mind and 'gave' them to me.  I knew the pups since birth and spent a great deal of time with them.  As I watched them together, there was something that told me that they needed to stay together, especially Richard and his mom.  It was as if they both knew he was different and needed special care.

As I had already been claimed by Luna, Richard's sister, when she was just five weeks old, and fell in love with Hooch at first sight a few months later, the idea of expanding my canine family to four was a bit overwhelming.  

Given my belief that they were supposed to stay together and the fact that I witnessed them as a pack family, I accepted the responsibility.  It prompted a move to a bigger house last September with more space, both inside and outside, for them to grow and for me to love them in an environment that was conducive to their big breeds.  

Because I didn't know of Richard's condition at the time he became a member of my family, I didn't anticipate the expense of the surgery that would be required to help him.  The expense of four dogs, a bigger house, and the living expenses attached to those things has been a challenge, but I must say, they are the lights of my life and I can't imagine being without them, each and every one!

I'm in the process of seeking alternative routes for Richard's surgery.  I am in contact with the Animal Human Association and will be contacting some veterinary schools in the surrounding states to see if there is a possibility of taking care of Richard's surgery in that way.

I am willing to fund-raise, make monthly payments, offer volunteer time, or any other form of re-payment for assistance I receive.  It's the out-of-pocket expense that has caused me the most distress, especially because I feel an urgency to take care of Richard as soon as possible.  Every day poses the possibility of damage, whether it is in the form of patella friction from simple movement, or from one of his siblings making contact with him in just the right way to break one of his back legs.

If you have ANY suggestions for possible directions I can take with this, I would greatly appreciate it!

If you have any questions, or need additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I appreciate your time and your consideration with regard to my boy and we thank you.

Kind regards,
~Denise~

I didn't need another dog but I knew taking her to the humane society wasn't an option either because Pits never get second chances and she had so much fear in humans I knew they wouldn't see her as adoptable but she was very sweet and deciding to keep her has been one of the best decisions of my life. Momma dog has brought so much joy to not only my children but my other dog as well. March 29ths we were involved in a very bad accident when my truck collided with a Semi after the brakes failed. Since then i've been unable to work.
Momma dog somehow got out of the fenced in yard about a week and a half ago, I printed out posters with her picture and offered a reward for her return. I was so afraid she had been stolen becaue she never ran away, the poor thing had no need for the streets once she found a loving non-abusive home.
On Wednsday April 25th she came in the garage door dragging her back leg, It looked like someone had cut her and she was rushed to Newberry Animal Hospital. She was burning up with a fever and her leg was swollen severely. The vet informed us she needed her leg amputated or else the only other option was to put her to sleep, well that's not an option so I am pleading for help to pay the vet bill so we can bring her home, my other dog misses her so much he just mopes around the house and instead of sleeping in his bed he sleeps by the door as if he's waiting for her to come home because he didn't see her that day she came home we had to rush her to the hospital as fast we could.","Momma","3 to 5 years","female","yes","Pit Bull (APBT","Stray","As stated, she followed my children home from school.

He's a pit mix, so far we are very discouraged from the our vets' and hospital's finding of our Snoop. After about a $1000, they have yet to determin what the issue may be, and have just now told us that it may be neurolgical, and even then after a $3000 MRI the surgery will cost at least another $2500. Now I wish there were insurance for pets but, we don't have anything for our dog, and I really wish that money was not an issue, it really makes us think about how shallow a you can feel about a member of the family by putting a price on their well being. It's very sad for my mother and father, they have made him into their 3rd son. He even has his own stash of red meat in the fridge. My brother and I had our ""stuff"" in the fridge once too, but after we've grown up our ""stuff"" became Snoop's stuff. He has done wonders for our family too as a guard dog, a most ""welcome home"" dog, and a great playmate both in and out doors. He has developed an imbalance and tilts his head and can no longer stand up for more than several seconds. The worst thing about it is that he needs someone to holster him up while he goes to the bathroom. Once we had an episode where he pooped inside the house and then got off balance and fell into it and his leaning into the walls to get around the house... well you can imagine the image. I'm running out of options and I know you can only help some dogs but I ask if you can seriously consider our dog a candidate for receiving some aid to help give him a better quality of life.

I lost my dog overseaserseas half an year ago, who i was planning to bring over here. WHen i saw the loose dog (black young pitbull mix in the park) i thought it was the most beautiful thing. He was sitting on a small hill basking in the sunset. I thought it was a cooyote at first. When i tried to approach him, i saw that was a dog, not  a coyote- he took off slowly, he was very skinny. Within few days i established a connection with him by visiting him at the same spot( iwalk in the park for physical tonus), and he started coming to me within almost reachable distance. I found out he was""the loose dog that Animal COnttrol between two towns couldnot catch for weeks"". I guess other people were feeding him randomly, possibly affecting Animal COntrol officers' efforts. Noon ehgad claimed him.The rumor was he would always run away from people,sam ething Animal Cotrol told me- tehy had tried everything, including traps.So the two folks i was with one morning were surprised that the dog came down to me. Then he even played with another dog. We patted him, that was the first time for me as well. The social situation of 3 people around him, and one more dog(retriever) seemd to realx him and within half an houtr he wasso comforatbel as to paly with teh retriever, and even lay down next to us in a relaxing fassion. He followed us that day but iw as unabel to take him at that day, iwasnot ready, while teh woman who said she would take him to MSPCA, wasnt persistent. TUrned out MSPCA woudl have turned him down anyway to ANimal COntrol.
THe next day he was gone all day and i became extre,ey worried, i circled everywhere and decided i d take him in tehcar and find a shelter by any means . I cal;led Animal Control that day and todl them i am the owner and have no papers.Same evening theyccalled me- he got hit by a car on the street. The  police had told me i cant have him priuor day,that he needed to be ""surrnedered "" to the state and they would ""deal"" with him, since "" he needed massive therapy""( i hope that s not true! for sure it didint look so!before the accident he appeared to be well adjusted and sociable playful young  dog, yet very very  scared, tale bewteen legs most of the time,  except with me around and thsoe folks. However, after that he got too comfortableand we saw a guy kick him, just becasue he appoached teh guy.Another guy had a stick to hit him. I gues after we made him feel comforatbel yet didnt take him, he must have tried to escapoe teh random harrasment from, some people and may be even folowed our tracks later on( thas where he was found hit by  a car)(wher we parked our cars).
At the time animal control called me to tell me he was hit by a car i was looking for him at 10 pm in the area.I was devastated by teh news, i was worried all day, because he hadnit been in teh park all day. HE was taken by Animal contorl that night to West Bridgewater hospital. I was asked by them to go there and i did. I was given two choices- to surrender him, and he d be made comfortable for 24 hours and if noone claims him, he d be put down. Noone had claimed him for 2 weeks, so  i chose to take responisbility, i coudlnot see how to let him go! He mustt have been looking for me when i was looking for him, just didnt know how to cross the street! 
He has head trauma, which he seems to be recovering from, a broken leg that needs immediate attention, a wound on his back that needs attention, and possibly hurt lungs, as well as multiple scrapes and bruises. His face is pretty banged up , but one can already see life back in his eyes and curiosity and sociableness. Everyone in teh hospital says he s very good!
I am in a very tough financial situation,. I was denied Credit CAre. I am spending money i needed myself to relocate to CAlifornia and i had thought  i d have enough to make papers for him if i had taken him, vaccinations, etc. I have only temporary living situation here, where dogs are NOT allowed, and so far i have not been able to find a shelter for the dog. ocne he leaves teh hopsital, but i hope i do. I am supposed to leave for California(in a car) in June/ end of May. I was making arangem,enrts hwo to take him as well. But he got hit by a car. I dont have a job here any more and thsi was very unexpected . I DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY to go through his treatment, with all options for local donations researched, and me having spent what was money for the bills for coming month and relocation to california( where i have a job pending situation).
I also have  a car which i coudlnt sell since it s my transportation method, however i need to make payments every month not to lose it. 
I am trying to find a job for the moment here to help his treatment, by thsi i am slowing my own physcial therapy( iahd a car accidnet myself 2 years ago)but so far i have not been able to find a job!I have applied coffes hops etc. Hopefully something comes through. May be i ll have to stay here for ahwile,while he gets better. I am not eligible for ANY kind of credit, since i had a bankruptcy 2 years ago after a divorce. I know if i can only get help for the treatment(surgery of the leg) the dog will be ok, because i do have a perspective for a job in california. And he has his spark in his eyes back, regardles he s still under pain medication. He s already getting up!
I dont want to give up on the dog just because a car hit him and there isnt enough money. I am doing my best to budget everything in a minimal way, but since i am not working and thsi si high end expense for  me -it s exteremely difficult to sposnosr th etreatment on myown, i am afraid it might  be impossible. I am asking for any kind of help you might be able to offer to help him get thorugh this crisis. He is a brave dog. Once he is ok, i ll be able to get him vaccinated, neutered and hopefully provide for him a better life.

Head trauma,recoverying judging by vitals, facial injuries, recoverying.
Broken front left leg, needs surgery as soon as possible.
Possibly wounded lungs, which will just have to recover i was told on their own, possible broken ribs, will heal on their own.
An open, but not deep wound on his back, requiring treatment.
Multiple abrasions all over the body and multiple bruises.
So far the bill is about 850 for his stabilising, pain medication, antibiotics, ultravenous fluids, care, care of the wound on the back-once and x-rays of his leg( i said not to xray the lungs to save money and if surgery performed then xray if need). Estiamte for future treatment includes at least one more night there(tonight)( he s still on pain medication and intravenous fluids), which is roughly 150-200$, surgery of the leg 1000-2000$(or ..more..)(the xray will tell more, it s beeing done now); treatment of wound on back(200 roughly for one more time, and more if needed), follow - ups and medication(he s on antibiotic roght now too).

She was thin and her teets hung low but her 5 puppies had been adopted and we felt the mommy pit deserved a good home as well. We adopted Raven exactly 3 weeks ago. A couple of days after bringing Raven home we realized she favored her rear right leg. Since April 30th we have spent over $400 on adoption, spaying, lab fees, vet visits and meds. We still do not regret adopting her. On the contrary, knowing that she may not have been adopted from the shelter because of her post pregnancy appearance and her medical problem makes us even happier about our choice. Even though its only been 3 weeks, our family could not imagine life without Raven. Even our 13 year old Chihuahua, who does not like being approached by other dogs,has accepted Raven as part of our family. We are requesting financial help because we were not anticipating Raven's care to be so costly in such a short period of time. We are a family of 5 and our annual income is approx. $45K. Both my husband and I attend evening classes at Penn State York, so we have educational expenses as well. Two of our children had milestone birthdays this month. Our daughter celebrated her 16th birthday and our son celebrated his 10th. Our youngest will also be celebrating a milestone birthday,on June 5th he will turn 5. Raven's adoption and these back to back birthdays have put a strain on our budget. We know even after surgery Raven's expenses will not stop because swimming therapy has been recommneded to help her recover quickly. We would really appreciate any help this organization could offer. We would like to focus on Raven's recovery/therapy and not on the additional expenses. We understand that responsible pet ownership includes the ""unexpected"" because we have had our Chihuahua since she was 3 months old, but we feel a little overwhelmed because of how quickly Raven's expenses are piling up.Thank you very much for your consideration.

Recently our pittbull/ cane corso mix was hit by a car.  He broke both back legs but was otherwise fine (a note to his courage and strength...after being hit he dragged himself almost 1/4 mile up the driveway to the house and ripped several front claws off doing so).  His medical bills have now reached the 10,000 dollar mark and he has two surgeries yet to complete.
I would normally not ask for assistance, but I feel that our story is unique and I could really use any help that is available.
Almost 2 years ago, we lost everything in Hurricane Katrina and like so many others were underinsured.  We just had a baby and are still trying to get back on our feet financially.  My husband was deployed to Kuwait in February and this dog means the world to him, so I really want to provide him with the best care and not have to be worried about the cost.
If you are unable to help, but could refer me to anyone that might be able to, I would greatly appreciate it.

My oldest, who is 15 years old, has had developmental delays since infancy and is classified as mentally retarded with ADD, she receives SSI Disability, and she attends a local private special needs school. Then I have a 6 year old who is just finishing first grade. And an 18 month old baby. 

My husband's business income, combined with the fact that I stay home with my children because one is disabled and one is only a baby, is low enough that we qualify for medical assistance for our children and energy assistance for our home and food stamps. We got a dog because we thought it would be nice for the kids, especially my older daughter who doesn't really have any friends like a normal kid her age would, and we thought it would be nice and more cost effective to rescue one from a shelter. 

We knew we'd have to pay the adoption fee and take him for checkups and shots etc., but it is turning out that he has medical problems that are going to cost us more than we bargained for and we are going to have a hard time affording it. This is a lot on our plates considering we've only had this dog less than two months and had no idea he had these medical problems when we adopted him. But we don't just want to take him back to be put to sleep, and we feel bad because we know he's already been a stray, and then adopted by someone but brought back the next day, before coming home with us. So we decided to try to look online to see if there was any sort of organization who helps with financial assistance for veterinary care, and came across this site.","Will","19 to 36 Months","male","yes","Pit Bull Mix","Shelter","We got Will at the Lehigh County Humane Society in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This is the URL to their website: http://www.lehighhumane.org/","About  7 weeks (since April 3, 2007)","yes","When we adopted him on April 3, 2007, we brought him to a local vet the day we brought him home for a general checkup. He seemed to be healthy in all ways except the vet said that he has a heart murmur. And there is no way of knowing if it is something he's always had, or recently developed, or what it is caused by, and that would require seeing a specialist. We held off on it figuring we'd have him rechecked in the summer, when my husband's business picked up, to see if it was still just a slight murmur or if it had gotten more pronounced, and to see if we could afford to look into it more then.

But in the meanwhile we've had a lot of problems with inappropriate urinating in the house, so today we brought in a urine sample and the vet's office called back and says that they think he has stones in his bladder.

So now on top of whatever is wrong with his heart, which is still unknown, they say he needs to have a $144 bladder xray. Then he will likely need surgery to have the stones removed. The surgery will cost between $350 and $400. At the same time, they will need to do a $60 blood test, another urinalysis which cost $23 today so the same price I guess, a repeat x-ray afterwards which they say will be $79, a culture out on the urine, which will be about $75, and a stone analysis which they say will be $40.00.

So I guess we are talking a minimum of $800.00 for the bladder problems, and still have no idea what to do about the heart murmur.","Schuylkill Veterinary Hospital, 1170 Route 61, Pottsville, PA","Shawn's cell phone (570) 292-2827, and my cell phone (570) 292-2825","no","I don't know if they do; I couldn't find one.","Probably about $800.00 for the things related to the bladder problems.

I have an undying love for American Pit Bull Terriers. We currently have six dogs in our household. We got our first Pit Bull Zeus (American Red Nosed Pit Bull) from a group of young guys who were keeping him in a second floor apartment. They were neglecting him at all costs. They regularly beat him for urinating in the house because they took no time to take him outside. They also gave him many different kinds of drugs and alcohol. He was malnurished as a puppy so he is a lot smaller than he should be. Next we got a call one morning from a friend of mine and she witnessed a man in a truck dumping 2 pit bulls on the side of a country road. There is one female and one male. Neither of them are spay or neutered. You can tell that they were obviously used for back yard breeding. The female must have recently given birth because of her sagging underbelly and nipples. By the time I got ahold of my friend who called me and said she had the dogs she was at our local humane society. The saff there told her they were dangerous dogs and if she were to surrender them they would be euthinized. Thats the time my fiance and I imediatly left our house to go pick them up. We pulled several ticks off the female, and had to bathe both of them twice to get the mud to stop comeing off of them. Not to mention their ears were full of debree and earwax.  We have a wheaton terrier that was neglected and left in a car. COdy (Wheaton Terrier) was wearing a color that was too small for him, he had matts so bad in his long hair that it all had to be shaved off, and he was very under wheight. Next we have Oliver (Rat Terrier) we got him from a rescue. He had been severally beatton from the time he was born. Then there is Ava (Beagle, Doxin, Pit Bull mix) she was adopted from our local shelter where she was deemed to be put down due to not being able to house train her. Right now our house is in forcloser. We have filed banckruptsy and will be forced out of our house in about 2 months. We are paying bills that are backed up and I am haveing trouble finding a job due to the fact that I am only 17 and am living on my own. The two pit bulls that were dumped, that we have named Bozley (boy) and Dezi (girl) need to see vetrinary care immediatly, and they need spay and neutered. We also need two more crates to fit them into. Bozley at 70 lbs. and Dezi at 40 lbs. and both still under wheight. We do not have the financial stubility at this time to support all six dogs. We know that we can't give any of them up because no one else would put up with their very stubborn Pit attitudes, or they would be put in a fighting situation.

She had seen the vet and thankfully she was fine from being on the second floor roof for 3 weeks. (Jada was left with plenty of food and water, thank god it lasted)I had expected for our lives to return to normal when we returned home permanently in St. Bernard Parish (Chalmette) but it is a slower course than I wanted it to be. We just now have purchased a new home of our own, with closing scheduled for June 8th at 3pm, since returning home we have spent 950 for rent, a 374 truck note, our finances are pretty much the same as prior to Katrina, which is fairly good, but my husband had to have a surgery on his right knee. He had broken the patella Feb. 2005 and the cartlidge was riping between the sharp edges of his patella. (This riping is/was due to not being released from the doctor due to the storm and months of working on it until we located his doctor.)His surgery went very well, he is back to full duty at work but... we are a little short on the extras that we usually can take care of on our own. Jade's anniversary for her health check up is approaching and I am asking to request any kind of help I may receive for her visit.

Thank you for your time and consideration!  In summary, I had my friend take this dog, Murdock, because his previous owners were not humane.  They kept him in their basement with no light and very little food.  I watched him for my friend when he went on vacation and he moved into an apartment that didn't allow pets when returning.  All shelters either with destroy his breed or kept him for a limited amount of time and then gave the dog to a place that destroys them.  He was too good of a pet for me to do this to; even though my apartments didn't allow pets.  Since then, I had to re-locate to keep him.  He is such a beautiful dog that I wanted to breed him.  I found most of the people that wanted to breed their dog with Murdock were people I personally didn't think should have this type of dog resulting in me reconsidering keeping him fertile.  The last thing I want is to create more dogs that are fought or end up in a position that Murdock was previously in!  Also, there is enough dogs, especially his breed, that need help so creating more I don't believe is a wise move.  I was wondering if I can get financial help to get Murdock his shots and to have him neutered.  I just finished college and I am currently looking for employement.  My financial situation is very tight trying to pay for my student loans and other expenses that I have from while in college and just day to day living.  After I find employement I plan on donating to this organization but right now I just do not have the means to do so.  Any information or assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Honest and down to point, I am tired of people judging these sweet dogs to be evil. Sadly my babygirl has been a victim in this case. Someone climbed over my 6ft privacy fence,took (cut) the lock off and took her. (Prior to this she was posined by ""something"" that the doctors don't what. That cost about $2500.00. And she was worth every penny!!!!!) She came home that night at about 2am and was limping. Later (about an hour) she started to cry and cry. I took her to the vet. Someone broke her leg. It was a clean break at that. This was almost a month ago and I can not no matter what put her down because through all of this she is even happier now then ever and still loves people like nothing ever happened. The quote that I got on her leg is between a $1000 to $1700. I finally moved to a new place where hopefully she can be safe. I am also expecting and I am high risk at that. I have about a month left before the doctors make me stop working. I don't have very much money and I am trying to save anything I can. Care Credit said my credit isn't good enough and the credit card that I finally got doesn't have much of a limit on it. This is basically my last stop or she's going to have to wait another month or two. I know the doctor said she needs an External brace and pins put in her leg. They also said it is a very difficult surgry. Help if you can and if not I apprciate the ear to listen and thank you very much anyways.","Baby Girl","4 to 8 Months","female","yes","Pit Bull (APBT","From a friend or relative","Someone on my husband's side of the family had a litter of puppies.","since she was 8 wks.","yes","Broken Leg","Zionsville country vet

His name is Thor. I purchased pet insurance thru my job because of the consistent health problems he seems to have. This insurance company consistently denies each claim saying we dont cover this or that. His most recent problem is that his back righ knee wont stay in its socket. This is devasting for hime as he is a huge sport dog. He eats, breathes, and dreams of balls and frisbee's. Mind you Thor just turned 3yrs in May. He has so far to go yet with such a problem. The vet has told me if I dont fix it then he will turn arthritic. This dog just couldn't handle that. Neither could I as a matter of fact. When I rescued Thor little did I know he was rescueing me. I suffer from sever depression. He's my therapy dog. The Vet has told me the surgery is going to be 1,600 dollars. I thought ""Okay, the co-pay will be tough but what ever it takes, he deserves it"". I still feel the same but financially this is devasting. I can put it on my card but I will have to get a second job to pay for it. Which means I pretty much wont get to spend any time with him, who has given so much to me. Its very upsetting but thats the fact. His health means everything to me. I dont want him to feel abandoned but if I cant find help, it will be the only way I can pay for it. Which will be hard on both of us. Extreme fatigue usually feeds depression on top of having to leave him alone for so long. Its devasting to both of us. We would deeply appreciate any consideration as well as we do appreciate your time for just taking the time to read this. I know there are so many other situations that are probably worse than his and I am sorry if this seems petty in comparison. He is just extremely special in so many ways and his quality is so precious considering what he does for me. I had to try. The Vet say if I dont fix it he will turn arthritic. So either way he loses. Needless to say this is a very stressfull time for me. Thank you once again for taking the time to read this and for your consideration. He truely is so very special, I had to try.

"OwnerApplication","Debora Bresch (applying  for Jennifer Klintworth - Newark, Ohio resident as she is not internet/email savvy)","Madison Avenue (will get street number from Jennifer))","","Newark","Ohio","43055","my cell: 917-679-1008 ","212-749-5477","deborab@rcn.com (she doesn't have email)","I am with the ASPCA","I am a lawyer/lobbyist w/ the ASPCA (I drafted our amicus brief in Toledo v Tellings)  ","Specifically, I'm trying to find either transport and a foster home ASAP for this uninsured Ohio pit bull (Tyson), or find the money to pay for the insurance so Jennifer can keep him(at least until we know which way the Ohio Supreme Court is going in Tellings v. Toledo - if the decision goes our way, the insurance will not be needed again).  This is a life-threatening condition for Tyson as he is still subject to seizure and destruction while uninsured and in Ohio (esp. in Licking County).

I am footing another Ohio pit bull's insurance at the end of next week ($550), so I can't cover the insurance for Jennifer's dog (although I did pay the fees - $110 - to bail the dog out of the pound). 

Back story:  Jennifer took the dog about a month ago from her sister, who was fleeing an abusive husband/boyfriend.  Unfortunately, last Thursday, the dog bolted from her property straight into the arms of the dog warden -- but the dog is by all acoounts (and on good authority) very sweet, and Jennifer couldn't bear to let him be killed after all her sister, the dog, and she herself have been through.  Jennifer is really being very brave, as the dog warden may well still charge her with 2 misdemeanors (subject up to 6 mos. in jail and up to a $1000 fine each) even if she is able to place the dog outside Ohio or finds the money to insure him. 

Among all the inequities in this case, perhaps the most galling is that the dog wardens in many other counties are not enforcing the pit bull law until the Supreme Court hands down its decision in Tellings.  So this wouldn't even be an issue in those counties (at least for the moment). 

At any rate, if you have any ideas (such as for a foster situation outside Ohio) or can provide even a small amount of grant money to throw into the pot for Tyson, please let me know.  

(Once he is safe -- b/c he is uninsured, Tyson is still subject to seizure -- I will make sure that he is neutered....or we can make it a condition of purchasing the insurance.  Neutering is obviously a priority.)

(Debora Bresch, ASPCA, deborab@aspca.org, deborab@rcn.com, c: 917-679-1008)","yes","","The maximum cost for the insurance is $550 for 6 mos., although I am also trying to see if there's a better deal through another company that will apparently insure pit bulls if they belong to a homeowner.  Jennifer is a renter, but the dog is now w/ her aunt, who owns her home outside Newark city limits (and the reach of the city dog warden, although still w/in Licking County, unfortunately).","I paid $110 to bail Tyson out of the pound and have to pay $600 for another Ohio pit bull's insurance next week ($550 plus the cost of sending the money to Newark).  I am basically looking for whatever I can from whomever I can so that perhaps I can cobble together the necessary funds for Tyson.","This depends on what I can obtain from other sources.  (Please see prior answer.)","Nothing has been pledged by anyone else so far, but I am trying really hard.","Very urgent: condition is critical","yes","n/a","If we insure Tyson, and the Ohio Supreme Court upholds the appellate court decision finding the state pit bull law unconstitutional, insurance will not again be required.  However, obtaining the insurance also gives me time to find a new situation for him in the event this becomes necessary b/c the Supreme Court finds the pit bull law constitutional.  (A decision is expected in the next few months.)","yes","","yes","-posted on Best Friends
-various colleagues","Jennifer has no other pets.  (I have 2 spayed pit bulls.)","If I didn't have to foot the insurance bill for another Ohio pit bull at the end of the next week, I would help Jennifer myself.  But beyond the $110 I spent to bail Tyson out of the pound, and the $50 I'll be able to spend to send money to Jennifer if I can find it (wiring/express mailing money to Newark is expensive), I can't personally do that much in this instance....And yet this little 2 yr. old cutie-pie (playful w/ people and other dogs) clearly needs help, as does Jennifer, and it will break my heart if I can't find the assistance they need, particularly now that she has gone out on a limb herself for this dog (by subjecting herself to criminal prosecution).

      Please, I'm appealing to you for help in this matter to keep my dearest Evol alive! I'm hoping perhaps between your compassion and the financial support of your organization, a solution & a miracle could take place!!! 

	In addition, any references, resources, or advice would be greatly appreciated. And of course, donations & grants MOST appreciated.

This precious pooch has saved my life many times over; I only hope that I can do the same for him. He's my little baby; please help me save him too.

PS-please find enclosed copies of his X-rays,  proof of my income and estimates for the cost of surgery. Also, there's a copy of Evol's prescription from my doctor. I just wanted to best portray my dire situation for you...thanx.

He was called in on by a neighbor who hates the breed and has never gotten along with the owner! Tank did get out of the fence once and the owner has complied with fixing the fencing and is getting the required insurance for him. Now they are saying the boarding bill is over $1000.00 but has kept this going this long. Tank was 9 months old when he went in and I go see him every 2-3 days and he is pathetic! He knows what goes on, he hears it, it smells it....DEATH! I cannot imagine the terror he feels every time anyone comes up to his cage for any reason! Is it his turn? He whimpers every time I come through there! I NEED HELP AND INTERVENTION ON HIS BEHALF (and others)! The poor angel has to come out of there.
