Bella is a 8 year old Mix-Breed in Elmwood Park, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Cruciate Ligament/Arthritis/ Torn CCL.

Bella, the love of my life. She first came into my life in 2017 when I was 10 years old. She was my first ever dog. I was bullied a lot in school and developed severe depression. Bella saved me. She has been by my side ever since. . She is my best friend, she copies literally everything I do. She understands me. Without her, I don’t know what I would do. I feel like I birthed her.

She recently injured her leg while we were playing fetch. She yelped suddenly, started limping, and has been in visible pain ever since. While she’s still trying to walk, she’s clearly uncomfortable, and I’m deeply concerned it could be something serious like a torn ligament or joint issue. I plan to take her to Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Paterson, NJ. Any support would go directly toward her treatment.

She has a younger brother (goldendoodle) legend and a younger cat named Cleo. She is truly one of a kind. She’s incredibly gentle, with a nurturing soul that brings peace and joy to everyone around her. Despite her age, she still has a playful side and lights up the room with her goofy faces and wags when she’s excited. She’s deeply bonded with every family member—always following us. She’s FAMILY

Right now, I’m facing a tough financial situation that’s made it really hard to afford the veterinary care for her. She’s been limping in pain, and it breaks my heart to see her struggle when all she wants is to play, rest without pain, and follow me around.
