I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for our sweet dog, Pumpkin. Yesterday, she was suddenly attacked by a much larger dog, an American Bully. It all happened so fast. We rushed her to urgent care, and though she’s fighting through her wounds with incredible strength, she now needs surgery to fully recover.

Her doctors are hopeful, and we have complete faith that she’ll pull through — she’s always been such a little fighter. But the reality is, the medical bills are far beyond what we can afford right now. Like many families, we’ve been barely getting by financially, and this unexpected emergency has hit us really hard.

I never considered myself a “dog person” until Pumpkin came into our lives eight years ago — but she changed everything. Over time, she became our little shadow, my passenger princess on coffee runs, my emotional support when life got heavy, especially this past year. She lights up for her puppuccinos (“pup cup”) at the drive-thru and has brought so much joy to our lives. I truly can’t imagine life without her.

We’re doing everything we can to make sure she gets the care she needs, but we simply can’t do it alone. If you’re able to help — whether through a donation, sharing this post, or keeping Pumpkin in your prayers — it would mean the world to us.

Pumpkin’s medical bills are currently around $16,000, so truly anything helps — no amount is too small.

Currently staying at the Bixby Animal Clinic in Torrance, CA 90505

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, caring, and supporting us through this. Please keep our little fighter in your thoughts as she continues to heal.

With love,

Jenesis & Pumpkin
