Bella is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Arverne, NY, who needs $3,970 for Mammary Tumor Removal.

Bella came into my life during a very difficult period, and she has been a source of safety, comfort, and emotional support for my children and me as a domestic violence survivor. For the past four years, she has been deeply bonded to our family, especially my kids. Bella is gentle, loyal, and protective, and she has helped bring stability and healing into our home.

Bella was recently diagnosed with a large mammary gland tumor that requires urgent surgical removal to prevent further spread. Diagnostic exams, bloodwork, and X-rays have already been completed, and surgery has been strongly recommended. Her care is being provided by Queens Low Cost Veterinary Center in Astoria, NY. As a domestic violence survivor working to rebuild stability while in school.

Bella is loving, sweet and usually full of energy, especially with my children. She has been a steady source of comfort during our healing journey and throughout my efforts to improve our future through education. Seeing her now in pain and without her usual energy is devastating. Bella has helped my family feel love while my Mom and sister passed away. I'm advocating for my good girl.

As a domestic violence survivor, I am rebuilding stability for my children while attending school to earn my bachelor’s degree. Bella’s medical emergency came suddenly, and I do not have the financial ability to cover the full cost of her surgery on my own.
