Baby Bear is a 6-year-old Pitbull mix in Lockport, IL, who needs $2,000 for IMHA treatment.

I adopted Baby Bear from Tender Love and Care a small little rescue out by were I live. I got her around 4 months old and she was actually born on the same day my other baby passed away. Her mother was a beautiful blue nosed pitty and we thought she was going to be this big dos to but she stopped growing after she hit 20 pounds and has been a small munchkin ever since.

My baby girls loves to sleep under the covers. She has to be touching you at all times. Her favorite toys are stuffed animals, she has a favorite its this little all black bear that she will not chew or rip up. She treats it like her little baby. She does have a big sister Emma and a cat friend Tigger.

Due to covid I lost my job as a maid. I currently found a part time job but between Bears medications and tests she needs done I am not able to cover everything she needs

Baby bear was diagnosed with IMHA It is a very serious condition where her body kills her own healthy red blood cells. She had to spent multiple days in the hospital and underwent a blood transfusion. She currently has a treatment plan in place and is on 6 different medications. We have to go back to the vets every 2 weeks for blood work and tests at
VCA Aurora Animal Hospital.

My munchkin is terrified of loud noses any big bang and she is under the bed so fast haha. One of her favorite things to do is to relax in the pool. She has her own floaty and just lays there enjoying life. Her sister Emma has one also but sometimes they love to share the same floaty and cuddle on the water.
