Bella is a 9 year old Chihuahua in Gig Harbor, WA, who needs $1,700 for Oral Surgery with Extractions.

Bella came into my life when I found her wandering around an abandoned warehouse, starving and alone. While I'm not rich, I knew I could provide more than the streets, so I took her home. Unfortunately, she's always had bad teeth. I took her to the vet and they said she needs her teeth pulled within 6 months. It's been 4. Now her face is bleeding and she won't let me touch it. PLEASE HELP

I took her to Evergreen animal hospital and they told me she needs surgery on her teeth. They quoted me $1700 and I have the paperwork. I was told it needed to be done within 6 months and it's been 4 months. This morning her face was swollen and started bleeding.

Bella is the sweetest girl. She is my best friend, follows me around everywhere, and is a sweetheart and so gentle to my kids. She deserves the world and I wish I could give her more.

I am unfortunately on a very fixed income being a stay at home mom while my husband works, but it's not enough. We also had to get my other dog put to sleep recently and that was a huge vet bill that set us back quite a bit. Please help.
