Crackers is a 9 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Cleveland, TN, who needs $2,000 for Critical Emergency Care.

Crackers is a rescue who came to us in a little bit of an odd way. She was hit by a car as a puppy and was abandoned at a vet's office. When the vet saw her, they treated her incl. surgery and took her to the ASPCA. We found her there after many months of her being shown to multiple people who wouldn't take her because of her scar. We found her and fell in love immediately. She has been home since

She was outside on a potty break and something caught her attention. She was found standing in our yard a few minutes later, bleeding and disoriented. We think she may have been trying to get to the pups and someone hit her, but we can't be sure. We only know that she is hurting and was rushed to Animal Emergency and Specialty in Chattanooga, TN. She has extensive damage to her trachea and lungs.

Crackers is the most docile, loving, and affectionate dog we have ever had. She loves her family and especially kids. We have three other dogs who take their queues from her. She plays with the puppy and is mom to another who we adopted a few years after we adopted crackers. Her boyfriend is my mother's Chihuahua/corgi mix weighing 15lbs. She is our baby, even though she is our oldest.

This came at the wrong time for us as we have depleted our emergency fund to cover unexpected repairs and adjusting our home to allow for home care. We now have to come up with a way pay this and to rebuild our fund while caring for an Alzheimer's patient.
