Marta is a 2 year old pit bull mix in Russia, who needs $1,000 for Emergency Surgery and Hospitalization for Wound.

Marta's story is one of heartbreak. She was found emaciated and tied up at the back of a volunteer's house suffering in the extreme Russian cold. It is a mystery as to how Marta ended up there.

Marta has clearly had a life of suffering. There was a nylon rope that was embedded into her flesh so deeply there were visible metal parts in the wound from the rope; riddled with infection and pus, Marta must have been in severe pain.

Marta had emergency surgery to remove the rope, metal pieces, and necrotic tissue that surrounded her neck. The veterinarian estimated the severity of the wound would have taken around a month to develop, which means Marta suffered for weeks.

Despite her unimaginable pain and neglect, Marta is extremely trusting of humans and craves attention. She loves to give people kisses and wants constant cuddles.
