Tuggy is a 5 month old Bull and Terrier in Beltsville, MD, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Removal.

Tuggy came into our lives after my husband and I lost our friend, Michael “Tuggy” Morris due to gun violence. We both were at the scene and my husband was giving him life support after suffering gun shots to his lower abdomen and leg when he passed away.

Tuggy chose us when we met him. He was born exactly 1 month of Mike’s passing. Tuggy has his heart, spunk and spirt that’s reminds us of Mike.

Tuggy has been suffering from an intestinal blockage due to eating something he was not supposed to and requires emergency surgery for removal. He is not feeling so good as he’s just been laying under mom and dad. He feels miserable and refuses to eat or drink. It breaks our heart he feels so bad! 😢

Tuggy enjoys his regular visits with his brothers and sisters on weekends. He is very affectionate and loves kisses from mom and dad. He is very interactive and demands playing tug-of war with you (lol). He is very outspoken and full of energy!

He loves his belly rubs from his big sister who has Autism. Just seeing her smile and interact with him is priceless! He is a great companion!

Tuggy got sick during the holiday season where money is tight for everyone. With the rain we been having, my husband was unable to work in which I have to cover our bills this month. Tuggy is very special to us and we do not want to endure losing him a second time.
