Kilyan is a 1-year-old Pitbull in Milton, WV, who needs $2,000 to treat a palm pad injury.

I got Kilyan as a foster. The owners were going to take him to the shelter at just 10 months old! I drove 8 hours to save him from the inevitable because he would have been put to sleep because he’s a pit mix. All it took was one look into his eyes & I knew he would be mine FUREVER! Kilyan weighed only 25lbs when I got him now he’s 45lbs & FULL of love. Definitely a mommy’s boy!

Kilyan is MY child! We go on walks daily. He loves playing ball and snuggling up against his momma at night! He LOVES everyone that he’s introduced to! He adores my nieces and nephews! He is a HUGE lover. He LOVES other dogs & his foster sisters that come to stay for a little while! He’s truly a blessing and has come so far with LOVE, attention & affection!

I own and operate a foster based rescue (pending 501(c)3) working non profit I do not have the income to cover his vet bills myself. Rescue work is hard. I have successfully saved over 72 dogs in just 4 months- most of them being pit mixes. I’m asking for help!

One night around 10:30pm he was playing with another foster dog on the home and when I told them to calm down his front palm pad was sliced completely open & just hanging! I could not get the bleeding to stop. I made the decision to take him to a local ER Vet. He was then sedated to go in for surgery to stitch up his paw pad.

When I first got Kilyan he was a little aggressive. He was used to fight other dogs and beat at such a young age of 10 months old. 😭 He knows he is safe now and is the happiest boy ever. He LOVES his squeaker balls, run, jump & play chase! I built a HUGE fenced in yard for him to play in (with supervision)... like I said he is MY CHILD! He is spoiled beyond belief!
