Pepper & T’Challa's Love Story

It all started when my friend found a beautiful blue Pitbull wandering down the street. My friend asked if we could take her in and help find her a home. We searched everywhere for her owner. Three weeks later, my fiancé & I looked at each other and asked, "Is she home now?". Then, within a couple of weeks, we were shocked to discover she was pregnant!

The timing wasn’t great since my fiancé had lost his job due to COVID, but my 4 year old was so bonded to her so I started preparing for a house full of puppies.

When it came time for Pepper to have her puppies, it became obvious something was terribly wrong. At the emergency room they removed the puppy that was blocking the birth canal but we couldn't afford more. So, we were sent home with instructions to continue to help her labor the remaining deceased puppies.

All through the night, I laid with my hand on her belly, praying we wouldn't lose her. Then in the morning, I thought I felt movement.

I was shocked! Is the puppy alive?! I called the ER who then told me to bring her back in for an emergency c-section with the cost covered by Ellie's Rainy Day fund. This is our story.
