Let’s help sweet Tilli

Donation protected
Hi everyone, Please consider helping Jacqui. Here’s her story. I rescued her from Saved by the Bell bully’s in November 2016. She was found in a dumpster on Halloween night, 4 years ago. She was dumped in there after having her throat cut and lit on fire at just 8 weeks old. I brought her home at 12 weeks She was super aggressive when I brought her home but who wouldn’t be after all that trauma and abuse. She eventually calmed down and became friendly after showering her with lots of love. I feel in love with her the second I saw her on my friends Facebook. I told my friend, Amy how lucky she was to have Tilli. I was then informed she was only fostering and that Tilli was up for adoption. I went and picked her up that night. I didn’t even have a dog bowl yet ‍♀️ I instantly loved her but I don’t think she was so sure about me because she had been placed in so many places in such little time. After a few short months after having her, she was attacked by a dog in the dog park. I kicked the dog and literally through it over the fence. Oddly that is when our relationship began. She learned then that I was her person. She trusted me after that and let me tend to her wounds. We then became best friends. 4 years later....She now has a tumor on her neck and a torn meniscus and ACL (CCL in dogs). The tumor and CCL are both being removed today. They are putting a medal plate and screws in her knee to replace the CCL. I was originally quoted $3500 with 20% due on date of surgery and the rest in payments. When I dropped her off, they quoted me $5000, due when I pick her up. I don’t have a choice. I will sell my belongings. I will go hungry. I will forget my pride and ask for help. So, there it is. Any amount is so appreciated. $5, $10, $Anything. If the total is somehow less, ANY extra money will go to pet rescue. Thank you so much❤️
