Gypsy is a 9 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Blue Ridge, GA, who needs $650 for Closed Reduction of Shoulder Dislocation.

My sweet girl Gypsy has been my best friend for nine years, and she’s now in terrible pain from what looks like a dislocated or badly injured shoulder. She can barely walk or get into my bed, and her happy spirit is fading. I can’t afford the emergency care she needs, and I’m begging for help to get her out of pain and back to herself again.

Gypsy wasn’t even supposed to be my dog. My daughter begged for a puppy, and when Gypsy came home — a tiny, shy pitbull pup — she attached herself to me right away. She hid from everyone but ran straight to me, wagging her whole body. Even though she was meant to be my daughter’s dog, she chose me from day one, and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

Gypsy is a very special dog with a gentle soul. She has always been the type of dog who senses emotions and reacts with love. If someone in the house is upset, Gypsy will quietly come sit beside them, leaning her head against them as if she’s saying, “I’m here.” She has done that for me more times than I can count. Her presence is calming, almost like therapy without words.

Money is very tight right now, and I can’t pay for the vet bills alone. Getting her the help she needs would relieve a huge burden and give me my happy, healthy pet back.
