Bella is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu in Hamilton, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal.

After years of my girls asking for a dog I finally said yes and welcomed Bella into our home. She was 6 weeks old when we got her and is a big big part of our family. She is now 3 years old and is very playful and full of life. She loves to be outside running and going for walks.

Bella is a very energetic dog, She loves when people come to visit and show her so much love. She sleeps right along side one of the kids and does not leave their side until they get out of bed in the morning. She gives so much love to everyone she meets. She has a favorite stuffed animal that she plays with everyday, shaking it up and loves when people throw it so she can run after it.

Bella loves all treats, she likes to eat half and hide the other half under throw pillows or behind the sofa. She does not like getting hair cuts and hops around to avoid the clippers, although annoying that it takes us hours to cut her hair, it is funny how she hops and runs around me while I have the clippers in hand.

Bella got ahold of a bone outside after another animal ripped apart our trash. She is currently being treated at a vet hospital. Per the vet the bone is currently stuck in her esophagus. She is having an emergency Endoscopic Foreign Body Removal with the hopes that they can either pull the bone out or push it to the stomach to avoid needing to have surgery to remove it from the chest.

As a mother with 3 young girls I am on a very fixed income and can use any little bit of help I can get to make sure our girl Bella is once again healthy to continue to live a long life here with us.
