Tibby's Journey from Abuse to Healing

Hello, I’m Jessica. I’m 19 years old and have been struggling lately with financial issues. I created this GoFundMe in hopes to raise money for my beloved dog’s upcoming surgery. My dog, Tibby, has been the light of my life since 2016. My family and I rescued Tibby off of Facebook from his abusive former owner. Tibby was roughly 4-6 years old at the time, was extremely malnourished, and was taken care of very poorly. The past years I’ve had with Tibby were hard but very rewarding. Tibby has beat multiple health issues even though others thought he wouldn’t. When we took Tibby to his first appointment at the vet's office, he had to have all but 5 of his teeth surgically removed. Now, in 2025, Tibby needs more teeth removed. He’s in pain and discomfort, so we scheduled his surgery as soon as possible, which is next Wednesday from the day I’m posting this.

Tibby saved my life countless times as I struggled heavily with my mental health. Tibby deserves more life, and I must do everything I can to ensure his health. I love Tibby, and I hope to have more time with him as he’s roughly 13 years old now. Tibby still has the energy of a young dog, and I know this surgery will give him more time to continue to thrive.

A picture of his damaged teeth is attached to the post, these teeth are why he needs surgery. Tibby’s surgery day will include a heart worm test, blood testing, teeth removal, and a teeth cleaning if he has any teeth that don’t need to be pulled with the others. All the money from this fundraiser will strictly be used for Tibby’s medical bill and post surgery aftercare.
