Itty Bitty Pitty is an 8-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier in Wauseon, OH, who needs $2,000 for Laminectomy Dorsal/Cervical.

Itty came from an accidental litter. She was the smallest she was the size of a teacup Chihuahua when she was born and so I named her Itty Bitty Pitty. I couldn't bear to part from her she was very caring and careful for such a small dog. She currently lives with me and her brother Black. They have been together their whole lives.

Itty has always slept in the bed with me. She was my supervisor when I was unable to walk for a year. She likes to walk around outside and graze she is very good at suckering people into giving her treats. She uses being cute to her advantage and is very addicted to her sweaters. She likes to be friends with everyone takes it personally when they leave

Black is her favorite she lets him cuddle as much as he'd like in trade she gets to clean his face. When she was able to walk she'd act tough to the vacuum but as soon as it came near her she ran away. She always nudges my arm with her paw on my knee to get cuddles and to get under the blanket. Whenever she is not getting her way she always sticks her bottom lip out and it is the most adorable thing ever and then she shakes to make you feel guilty into giving in which I always do.

I'm looking to cure the problem. Surgery for her soft tissue sarcoma compressing on her spine along with chemotherapy will restore her ability to walk. VCA Advanced Veterinary Care Center in Fishers, Indiana. Dr. Cross is the treating veterinarian. She is still very healthy supported by regular visits to her vet.

I had to leave my job that I was at for 5 years I had transferred to get out of a toxic work environment that was mentally and physically taking a toll on me. At the new location it didn't get better, the emotional abuse from my boss as well as physical abuse from guests ultimately made it very important that I left. To have her be healthy again would mean the world. We are survivors of domestic abuse. She got me through very dark times along with her mom who passed away on the day that we were leaving. She protected us as we were getting out and due to that situation after protecting us from our attacker she had a stress induced seizure and passed away. To have my little girl walk again would make my heart happy considering she was my supervisor when I could not walk for a year.
