Hit by car, sweet stray pup needs urgent surgery

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I'm a lifelong dog lover, and tonight something heartbreaking happened right outside my home. While sitting on my porch, I saw a young, sweet dog no more than a year old get hit by a car. The driver didn’t stop, and my heart broke seeing her lying there, scared, bleeding, and in pain.

I couldn’t turn away. I rushed her to a 24-hour emergency vet (VCA ASEC) in west Los Angeles where we found out she has a broken front leg and was bleeding from her nose and mouth. She's now on antibiotics, pain medication, and has a temporary splint, but she needs surgery as soon as possible to repair her leg.

She's not my dog, but she matters. She's gentle, trusting, and so full of love, even in pain, she wagged her tail and leaned into every gentle touch. I can’t afford the cost of her surgery on my own, but I couldn't just leave her there.

If you feel moved to help, any donation, big or small, will go directly toward her medical care and recovery. If you're unable to donate, sharing this page would also mean the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for helping me give this sweet girl the second chance she deserves.

With gratitude,

Stephanie
