Angel City Pit Bulls

Since last week, Angel City Pit Bulls has been in Houston, caring for the pets that have survived Hurricane Harvey. This is where they met a courageous mama to her four puppies. She was found near the site of several chemical explosions carrying her babies one-by-one to safety.  And now, we want to carry the whole family back to California, to start on a whole new journey.  We need your help in order to make this a reality!

The best way that we can help this sweet mama and her babies is to bring them back to Los Angeles, where they will be vetted and fostered to get them ready for adoption. Funds are needed to cover the cost of immediate as well as longer-term care for the whole family, as well as transportation.  Will you help this family complete this part of their journey?
 
Together, we can provide this sweet survivor and her puppies with a new lease on life, and ensure that mama's legacy of heroism continues to inspire us all.

Thank you for your support!  

My name is Cranberry.  I am a four-month-old, adorable puppy. This past November, I was rescued along with my mom, four brothers, and four sisters from a shelter in Los Angeles.  We moved to a foster home and spent our days sleeping, eating and playing. Fun, huh?!  

The time came for all of us to meet our new families.  My siblings - Wishbone, Acorn, Pecan, Rolls, Stuffing, Yam, Butternut, and Sweet Potato - were all adopted, just in time for Thanksgiving. Even though there were families interested in taking me home, I wasn't ready for adoption because I wasn't feeling well.  You see, I wasn't growing as fast as my brothers and sisters, and I was a lot slower than I should be. Being a puppy is a lot of work - but, I was way more tired than normal.

I went to my doctor, and when she examined me, she discovered a heart murmur. Sometimes these things get better with time, so the plan was to be patient and see if I got better on my own. Well, Christmas came and went, and soon it was the New Year. Boy, was I ready to start my new life! I went back to the doctor and follow up tests were done to see if I had gotten better - but, I had gotten worse. 

I had to see a cardiologist, who confirmed I have a "severe pulmonary valvular stenosis". This means that my heart does not work the way it needs to work.

The only way I am ever going to live a long, healthy life is if my heart can be fixed.


There is this thing called a "balloon valvuloplasty" - it is an operation that will repair my heart.  This procedure will save my life, and ensure I can enjoy playtime, naps, shoe and remote control chewing, just like my brothers and sisters.

Will you help me get this operation?

I know my forever family is out there waiting for me, and with your help, I can get fixed up so I can finally find them.  I dream of play dates with my siblings and their new families!  You can help make this dream come true. 

Your donation, no matter how small, will make my life-saving surgery possible.  

Thank you for reading my story and helping to save my life.  

Everyone who loves me now, and in the future - they all thank you, too!
