Rilo is a 2-year-old Pitbull and Catahoula mix in Mobile , AL, who needs $1,500 for Intestinal Bacterial Infection.

I got Rilo a week ago from someone who couldn't care for him anymore. They got him a year ago from a really bad situation I am in recovery and suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD. I got Rilo to be my emotional support dog. We have bonded and he understands when I am feeling sad. I love him so much.

Me and Rilo bonded immediately. He feels when I am upset and gives me comfort. My mom committed suicide a year ago and on Easter my 22 year old son died from a accidental overdose on fentnyl. I have been very depressed and not sleeping but since I've had rilo he brings so much joy in my life. I love him.

Rilo loves to cuddle and sleeps in bed with me. He loves to run and play. He loves to box with me and when I'm sad he paws at me so i will hold his paw. He brings so much joy in my life. When I went to get him he took to me immediately, he knew I needed him. He is very protective of me already. He is so special to me.

Rilo is currently at the vet hospital for the weekend. He has an intestinal bacterial infection and is being treated. I had to take him to a 24 hour vet which cost me $380. They gave him fluids and sent us home. 4 days later he still wasn't eating or drinking so I took him to his vet on Friday and they said he needed to stay until Monday.

I haven't been able to go back to work since my son died, my depression is too bad. Funeral expenses and everyday living and now my emotional support dog is sick. I really need help with his vet bills. I don't have the money to pay for his vet bill and I don't know what to d
