Bella is a 6-month-old Dachshund and Llasa Apso mix in Hope Mills, NC, who needs $517 for Parvo.

Bella and her brother were born into our household when her Mom had to move in with us because her family had lost their house during the pandemic. Now her family has moved out but could not take the puppies so we are trying our best to provide a happy and healthy home for them. They have become like our grandkids and have a special place in our hearts also

Bella is a sweet dog that will look at you with those big brown eyes and make your heart skip a beat . She will run to you just a barking and wagging her tail as soon as you come through the door. And when you reach down to pet her she will flip over to her back so you will be sure to rub her belly each time.

When you talk to Bella she will tilt her head to the side and show her bottom teeth and it looks as if she is smiling at you. And if you don't respond back to her she will give you a gentle "ruff" until you do. She has attached herself to Grandpa and will lay at his feet for hours. And Grandpa loves this as it makes him smile each time and he loves talking to her and watching her tilt her head.

Bella is currently in the hospital with Parvo and is in need of treatment for this. Her brother Chase was admitted today. We were not financially able to get their puppy shots because their were 3 adults, 3 children and 4 dogs here. We live on a limited amount of money.

My husband is on SS and I am disabled getting SSDI now. We live on a very tight budget and can not afford this unexpected Vet Bill. We have both appt to get spayed/neutered but now I have to wait till they get well. Being grandparents, these puppies are like our grandkids.
