Bear-Bear is a 9-year-old Rottweiler in North Port, FL, who needs $1,250 for Spleen removal.

I rescued Bear from a drug house in Baltimore City he was left outside in the heat with no water. I had to talk the lady into selling him to me because she said her b.f would kill her if she got rid of him but he was so skinny I could see his ribs so I offered her 100.00 and she then accepted it.

Bear has been me and my boys guardian angel since we got him. We would all be heartbroken if we couldn't save him. about 2 years after I got him my ex started drinking & became abusive. Bear always got in-between us to try to protect me. He was like my shadow he followed me from room to room never letting me out of his sight when at home during the day. He also likes to sleep with my youngest son.

Bear saved my life twice from my ex who had came home in a drunken rage & held a knife to my throat telling me he was going to kill me on 2 different occasion and numerous of other times he would physically attack me. Every time Bear heard my screams for help he would immediately charge at him to get him off me.

Bear has a tumor growing in his belly that needs to be removed. The local vet said $2200 to remove it but I found a vet 3 hour from me called Helping hands that said they could do it for about $1350 but I still can't afford that. If anyone is willing to help me save his life I would be forever grateful! He is more than a dog to me he is my hero!

I am a single parent of 3 boys and work full-time and go to school at night. My income is very limited right now do to paying for school & taking care of my kids without child support. He saved my kids from being motherless please help me save his now!
