Marley is a 5-year-old Labrador in Riverside , CA, who needs $1,500 for Laceration Debridement.

Hello Im a single mother of a beautiful 15 yo, 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 rats. A few months after my son was stillborn a friend of the fam offered me a 4 mnth old puppy. He was every bit the love I needed. He has forever stolen my heart. He is my family. He joined me at work and at night protects our family. Hes the man of the house.

He is a very loving and caring addition to our family! He wants to be with the people he loves more than anything. He's great with kids. My daughter and my neice are obsessed! He recently lost his best friend. A lab we fostered for a year. We all felt that loss and have recently rescued his brother Hoover, another lab.

Marley has the ability to know just when he's needed most. From my depression after my son to day to day life he.knows when I need a cuddle. He kept me sain during quarantine. Hes my Wilson. My Ride or die. He loves to show off his tricks for food and Praise. The happiest dog you could meet and loves to spread it to everyone he comes into contact with.

A few weeks ago we were on a night walk around midnight. Marley went off behind neighbor's car. there was a loud bang and a scream from Marley. it honestly sounded like he was hit by a parked car. He ran out with wht looked like his organs hanging outside.. surgery was $2700. Unfortunately skin is necrotic and he needs a second surgery quoted at $2800.

I'm a single parent living paycheck to pay check. I struggle with asking for help but my alternative is to lose a member of my family. He has effected so many of all species and ages
