Stitch, Marrissa’s French Bulldog, started with aches after a regular walk, and as the night progressed, he could not move his back legs. He whimpered a lot, so Marrissa rushed him to the emergency room, where she learned he needs surgery for IVDD. It was heartbreaking to see him in pain, and Marrissa knew she had to do everything possible to help him get the care he needs.

The funds raised will go directly toward Stitch’s surgery. Marrissa is fully committed to taking care of his recovery and any additional expenses after the surgery. She’s reaching out for help during this difficult time because Stitch means the world to her—he’s more than just a dog, he’s family. He’s the sweetest, most gentle soul, always ready to bring a smile with his silly personality and endless love for everyone he meets, no matter their age. Right now, Marrissa is doing everything she can to keep his spirits up and hold onto that joyful, loving energy that makes him so special.
