Bella is a 3-year-old Shih Zhu Mix in Albuquerque, NM, who needs $1,100 for Removal of Right Eye.

In 2017 my daughter found Coco, who is the mother of Bella, at the park. She brought her home and we raised her as our own. A few months later she had Bella and another puppy but it didn’t survive. Bella lives with myself and my son & daughter, and we also have Coco still and the newest edition is Gucci who’s an American Bully.

Bella is the life of our house she’s bubbly, playful, absolutely loves people and very intelligent. She’s a mother of 4, they’re all in loving homes. Bella and Gucci are best friends they walk side by side, but now that he’s bigger than her he thinks he’s boss until Coco steps in, then Bella will think she’s boss again. She’ll have us laughing all day.

Bella’s our one of a kind she loves to talk to you, she can tell you when she wants something she answers yes, it’s so funny. Even through all of this triumph she’s managed to still be herself. I was so amazed the first time I heard her I thought it was just little noises she makes, but nope she answers you and she’ll tell you if the others are doing something wrong. She’s full of lovable energy.

My brother in laws dog, Lady( female pittbull) just had puppies, it was the 2nd day and Bella managed to get into the area where she is at and Lady got a hold of her, we were able to separate them quickly but not quick enough. We checked Bella and she seemed fine but later on that evening my daughter noticed that Bella wasn’t moving from the spot she had been in so she picked her up and when she

Looked closely she noticed her right eye ball was out of the socket. The ER veterinarian said we need to remove her eye but I don’t have funds. Bella is part of our family and we’d never want it any other way.
