Exotic is more than just my first dog—she’s my best friend and my comfort through some of the hardest times in my life. I got her when I was struggling with depression, and her gentle, loving spirit has brought so much light into my world. She just turned two on March 29, and she’s the heart of my home, always there with a wagging tail and endless affection. Now, she’s a new mom to three precious puppies, and even in pain, she’s been so caring and brave for them.

On Friday, Exotic went into labor. She delivered three puppies, but then some became stuck inside her. For days now, she’s been in pain, and I’ve felt so helpless watching her struggle. The only way to save her and her remaining puppies is an emergency C-section, and I’m terrified of losing her or her babies. Exotic means everything to me, and I can’t imagine my life without her sweet presence.

The funds raised will go directly toward Exotic’s emergency C-section and veterinary care. If you can do anything to help save my dog and her puppies, anything would mean the world to us. I am so grateful for any support, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing our story. If we’re able to save her and her pups, I would love to give back to those who help us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring about Exotic and her babies.
