Allie is a five-year-old Pit Bull mix in Philadelphia, PA, who needs $630 for urgent medical care.

Allie escaped death at an animal shelter, and now she needs your help to get the medical care she needs.

Her foster parent, Shawn D., tells Waggle the adorable dog got into something. "Allie broke into and messed up the bathroom because of a loud noise that startled her while I was at work. Allie was throwing up all day. After an X-ray, it's not clear if she was getting sick because of something she ate. I took her to Hickory Animal Hospital, where she was treated with much kindness," Shawn says.

Poor Allie has had a rough go of things. Shawn reports that she was surrendered after running away, does not like shelters, and has some anxiety. "In the shelter, she bit the bars of her crate so much that she broke most of her teeth," Shawn says.

Shawn is working with Allie to help ease her stress. "Allie does love cuddling and is very sweet but also very anxious," Shawn adds. "70% of the time, she stays out of trouble, but in that 30%, she can get very upset. She doesn't cause permanent damage primarily. She mostly just shuffles my shoes around in my closet. Most of the time, she wants to recline and relax. She can be a real snuggle pup, especially early in the morning."

And Shawn wants you to know that Allie smiles. "I love that you can see the corners of her mouth turn up when she's content," Shawn says. "When Allie is ready to snuggle, there is no sweeter lady. She loves to get as close as possible before bed so she can show you how much she loves you!"

Please help Allie smile again and get well!
