Emerson Olivia is a 5-month-old Boxer/Pit Mix in Bishopville, SC, who needs $1,000 for Orthopedic Surgery.

A co-worker shared with me that her best friends had a litter of puppies that he wanted to give away. She had pictures of the pups and I was smitten! I knew right away that I wanted one, but I didn't know which one. I met with the owner of the pups and he introduced me to them. They were all so adorable. I randomly picked one and that's how I got my sweet girl Emerson Olivia! She's a sweetheart.

Emerson has her own room. She has all of her toys in there. Oftentimes, she will sneak into my bedroom and belly crawl under my bed. When family and friends come over, she gets really excited. Emerson is very friendly and never meets a stranger. My family and friends adore Emerson. Even their pets love her. She can be silly from time to time, but she is an absolute sweet girl.

Emerson's personality is very lovable. She enjoys playing in the yard or on the porch. She will play with just about anything! There was an old plastic cup on the porch. When Emerson found it, you would think that t was the best thing in the world. As silly as she can be, she is a little scary. Watching her run from a leaf being blown by the wind was hilarious! Then she tried to play with it.

One evening while Emerson was playing in the yard, she started chasing something and ran out into the road. A car hit her and kept going. When I saw her, her mouth was bloody and I noticed that she was only walking on 3 legs. She has a broken femur in her right hind leg that needs a pin in it to heal properly.

This accident was unexpected. Currently I'm unable to pay for the cost of surgery. I was recently out of work due to having COVID and that kind of set me back financially. I want my sweet girl to have the best chance at healing. It wouldn't be fair to compromise her health.
