New York: While asking for money for their badly mauled Poodle, owner tells us that it breaks his heart that Pit Bulls have a 'bad rap" as it is

NEW YORK -- Our dog Bella is a rescue who shows nothing but love to our family. Late last night she was attacked by a Pit bull who had a history of going after other dogs. Bella has wounds around her eye and by her chest, which thankfully didn’t reach her lungs but the worst part is her badly fractured jaw.

We need your help raising money in hopes of life saving jaw surgery. Anything is appreciated, we just don’t want to lose our Bella like this!

Update 1
Our baby pup is out of surgery! Thankfully they were able to take care of her jaw and don’t think it’ll have any long term affects after its 6 weeks of healing. The gash on her side will just need to be flushed of fluids every few days. Unfortunately her left eye had ruptured and needed to be removed.

She’s in recovery but we have a long road ahead of us and our Bella is going to have some adjusting to do. Any small amount to continue to cover her care is greatly appreciated, you truly have no idea how much it means to us. We thank everyone (x1000000) who has donated to help us cover the veterinary bills

Update 2
Bella’s got a bag to drain any fluid for her gash, she has tape to keep her jaw closed for 6 weeks with just enough room to be able to eat, drink and give us her kisses which she loves to do. She’s eating well, taking her meds and already wants to run all over which we sadly have to keep her from doing.

Thankfully, the total was a little lower than vets initially said and came to around $4,700. We still have to take her back a few times which is gonna cost us a bit and she’s eating special food for post op. But anything more is just an extra wonderful bonus at this point to help us pay off the loan and make sure we can give her the best recovery options.

Also spreading the word and getting people to realize that you have to give proper love and attention to your animals especially pit bulls because they already have a bad rep as is and it breaks our heart.
