Pipin is a 9 month old American Pit Bull Terrier in Bel air , MD, who needs $2,000 for FHO Right Side.

We adopted Pipin from Barcs as a 4 month old puppy as a wedding present to ourselves. He was surrendered to no fault of his own. He was a very skittish and nervous puppy who was unsure of new people. Who was also extremely underweight. But we fell in love with him as he gave us kisses and our one year old son.

One day we had gone for a hike due to him having the zoomies. He ended up in pain when we came home and wouldn't let us near him. We ended up needing to get him x-rays and blood work. His blood work came back normal. But the X-rays came back with him needing a FHO surgery due to severe hip dysplasia. It would be at Green Brier with Dr Lauren and a visiting surgeon.

He loves eating his snacks, training, going for walks. But most of all loving on his people. Giving wiggles of excitement every time he sees us. Going for light walks meeting other dogs when allowed. He has a bomb proof personality, and was training to be a service dog prior to the diagnosis. He loves his furry roommates that are cats.

This was an unexpected sudden expense as we were building a savings back up. We're able to afford his meds to manage the pain, but is the money we would normally be hiding away. It would mean the world to have him healthy as he brings so many smiles, comfort and love.
