Bear is a 8 Year Old Yorkshire Terrier in Fayetteville, NC, Who Needs $2,000 for Mitral Valve Disease Management.

Bear came into my life when he was just one year old after another family rehomed him. From that moment, he became my son and constant companion. We’ve been together for eight years, sharing every season of life side by side. I don’t have other pets, so Bear is truly my heart, my family and my daily joy.

Bear is currently undergoing emergency treatment for newly diagnosed mitral valve disease, pulmonary hypertension and a ventricular arrhythmia, along with severe pancreatitis, anemia, dangerously low platelets, blood clots & complications related to DIC at Wake Veterinary Hospital in Raleigh. He has required ICU-level care to stabilize and will need continued treatment to ensure his heart’s safe.

Bear is loved by everyone he meets. He has a gentle, uplifting personality that brings comfort and laughter to my entire family. He’s playful, affectionate and full of charm. He sticks by my side, knows when I’m sad and always finds a way to brighten the room. Our bond is deep, and his joy has been a blessing to all of us. He keeps me going and is my angel.

In under three days, Bear’s critical care has reached nearly $10,000, and he still needs continued hospitalization and follow-up treatment. This unexpected expense is overwhelming. Support will help me keep him stable, continue his recovery and bring my sweet boy safely home
