Pauly is a 3-year-old Pitbull in North Oxford , MA, who needs $1,000 for ICU Continued Care for Oxygen Supplementation and Pain Management.

Pauly joined our family at 4 months old. His previous owners were seeking a loving family who could take him in as they were preparing to relocate and couldn’t take him along. From the second we saw his sweet face we knew he’d be our perfect fit and we knew we’d be his! He quickly became part of our family and we couldn’t imagine this home or life without him.

Simply put, Pauly is the best! He enjoys a good session of snuggling. He’s the epitome of a lap dog and prefers to be as close to his humans as he can get. He’s very friendly, loving and plenty silly. Fetch and lounging in the grass on a nice day rank pretty high for Pauly too. He loves any activity that involves lots of running and rewards. He’s a big treat guy!

Pauly never fails to make me smile. Whether he has the zoomies and dashes through the house at record speeds or taps my hand with his paw to get continued pets he’s constantly looking to engage with his family. He’s known for making the lap of our company a cozy place to rest. He’s just the sweetest boy who makes his love for us known everyday. He’s a true best friend.

On Friday 1-12-23 pauly breeched our gate and managed to get across the road. While coming back he was hit by a pickup traveling at a slightly higher speed than allowed in our 20 zone. He was taken to Tufts ER, where he remains. He had blood in his abdomen, a pneumothorax, some cuts and extensive lung bruising. He needed a chest tube installed right away and was unable to breathe unassisted.

After a total of $7k on our end we have reached a the end of our financial capabilities. This has put such an emotional strain on our entire family because Pauly is as much a part of our family as any human and he deserves to come home to us. We love him dearly.
