Dirty is a 8 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in The Colony, TX, who needs $1,333 for Pyometra Surgery.

Dirty is an 8-year-old American Pitty. She came to me as a rescue a few years ago and had a very rough life in the beginning. Her prior owner only used her as a breeding dog, and when she wasn’t being bred, they locked her in a closet. Since I have had her for the last couple of years, she has socialized with her sisters and brother and is well-behaved.

Over the last week, she began to act significantly differently. She didn't want to go for rides, didn't want treats, and started to vomit when she ate until she stopped eating. I took her to the Emergency Vet, and they diagnosed her with open pyometra and advised that she needed emergency surgery to take out her uterus and clean out the infection as she was becoming septic and very dangerous.

Dirty is remarkable as she is full of energy and life. She wants to make sure that everyone is happy and loved. She is also as close to an Emotional Support Animal as she can be for me, as I suffer from PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and intense levels of anxiety. She is there when she knows I need a hug or just to keep my mind occupied. Wherever we go, she becomes a mother and loves rubs.

To have her healthy again means the world to me. I don't want to give up on her as others did when her prior owner was breeding her. Unfortunately, a significant expense had occurred recently where my emergency fund was depleted, leaving me helpless for her medical needs.
