Bella is a 11 year old Labrador Retriever in Kansas City, MO, who needs $3,000 for TPLO Surgery.

We got Bella from a rescue when she was just eight weeks old. A foster parent was loving on her and her siblings until they found homes. Once we picked her up, she and I have been attached to each other at the hip over the past 11 years.

We took her to her regular vet who we LOVE and she told us she tore her CCL. She would need an X-ray to confirm and TPLO surgery. Surgery at her vet would cost upwards of $5,600+, so I went on a search for a vet that would be a little cheaper. I found Crest Animal Hospital/Dr. Lyle so we met with him, he did X-rays and confirmed the diagnosis of a complete torn CCL. Surgery is a flat $3,000.

Bella is my support baby girl. She is a love bug to everyone she meets. Everyone that meets Bella falls in love with her. She loves playing with her one year old brother Leo a golden retriever. Bella is 11 years old, but you would never know that by looking/watching her. She's still so playful and has so much energy. She LOVES walks, sunbathing, treats, her toys, her brother, belly rubs, life!!!

I'm on a fixed income. It would mean so much if you could help so my baby girl can go on her walks again, play with her brother. I hate seeing her so sedentary right now. You can tell she's wants to just get up and play but she can't.
