Renee's grandson is only 5 years old—a bright and loving child who has recently experienced a traumatic event that has left him both physically and emotionally scarred. His mother's pitbull bit him on the face, and while the hospital reported the incident, they were unable to intervene further because the dog belonged to his mother. The hospital recommended that the dog be relinquished to the humane society, but due to space issues, the process was delayed. Despite being offered temporary solutions, the dog remains in the home, and his mother has not taken steps to remove it. This has left Renee's grandson living in constant fear, especially since the dog is not always kept caged when his mother is home.

The situation became even more complicated when Renee's son, out of concern for their child's safety, urged the mother to remove the dog from the home. Instead, the mother filed a restraining order and took custody of their son, keeping him in the same environment with the dog. Renee and her family are deeply concerned for his safety and well-being, as he is now afraid of all animals and continues to be exposed to a dangerous situation. They are seeking help to cover the costs of custody proceedings, counseling for their grandson to help him recover from this trauma, and legal support to ensure he can live in a safe and nurturing environment.

Please help us get our grandson out of this dangerous situation. His mother refuses to remove the dog, putting the dog before her son. We believe he would benefit greatly from counseling, as he now has a fear of all animals. Any support you can give will help protect and heal him.
