YT Addict | I am beyond devestated!!!!!!! About 3 days ago we adopted out one of our pitbulls. Today I got a knock at the door. It was the guy wanting to bring her back. I have no problem taking her back. i walked outside to his car with her and he tells me she got into a fight with his other dog and is pretty bad. She is horrible!!! She is bleeding and has several cuts and bites all over her. She can't stand up or walk. She looks like he fought her. I have been calling vets all day and nobody will let me work out payment arrang. with them. The police came by and took pics of her. The DA wants us to get her to the vet ASAP to get everything documented. They want to press charges on the guy. I am lost and dont know what to do. My husband just started a new job and we are broke. We have less that $100 to live on for 2 weeks. I am in shock that no vet will see her without full payment. They would all just rather let her die. I show she is a pit but no dog deserves this.I just cant afford to get he into the vet right now. Wouldnt have been so bad if the alter. hadnt gone out on my car yesterday costing me almost $200 to replace. Anyone have any suggestions???

| I'm so very sorry! THat is just horrific! The poor baby... All vets are like that around here. They have something called carecredit, you just need to apply for it at the vet's office. It's a credit card for any healthcare needs. |

| Aww, poor baby- I am so sorry! I know there are a lot of options besides care credit but I don't remember any of them. You might find other options searching through YT because this type of thing has come up many times and there are always so many suggestions. I know you don't have time to sit around and wait for them to come in and want to get her to a vet but don't give up looking. Good luck- sending hugs!

| Call the animal shelter, tell them the whole situation and what the police said and see if they will help you. I hope the guy goes to jail for what he did to that poor dog. What a monster!!!!!!

| i would say call the DA and explain that if he wants you to take him to a vet and get things documented then he will have to take care of the vet bill...otherwise if they dont have documentation...he can kiss his case against this guy goodbye.

| You might also want to try the local Humane Society. I know that ours offers lower cost treatment for low-income people; maybe with your current situation they'd be willing to work out something. |

| Perhaps a breed rescue may be willing to help. Here is a link to a website that lists all the pitbull/amstaff rescues state by state PBRC WebApp | Organizations I know it is like 90 miles away but maybe the SPCA in Oklahoma City can help you. I sure wish there was something I could do.
