Pepper is a gentle, loving rescue pit bull who has brought endless joy to her mom and dad. She adores hugs, craves attention, and has a heart of gold—never showing a mean bone in her body. One of her favorite things is to cuddle up with her family and watch them play Hogwarts Legacy, always eager to be close and share her warmth. Her sweet nature and affectionate spirit have made her a beloved member of the family and a friend to everyone she meets.

Tragically, earlier today in Long Island City, Pepper wandered into the street and was struck head-on by a motorcyclist who fled the scene. She was rushed to the ICU, where she is currently fighting for her life. The hospital is doing everything they can, but with limited resources tonight, Pepper still needs a head CT to determine the extent of her injuries. Her family is facing a lot of uncertainty and fear as they wait for answers, hoping for the best but preparing for whatever comes next.

The costs for Pepper’s ICU stay, imaging, possible surgery, and medications are overwhelming for her family. They are doing everything they can, but they need help to give Pepper the best chance at recovery. If you can, please consider donating or sharing Pepper’s story. She is the sweetest girl and deserves all the love and prayers people can send. Your support means the world to her family and could make all the difference in Pepper’s fight to heal.
