Bella Kosub is a 8-year-old Shih Tzu/Weenie in La Vernia, TX, who needs $936 for Mass/Growth Removal.

Bella came into our life after our blind and deaf cocker spaniel, needed a friend. She was the tiniest little puppy we had ever seen. Bella has one brown eye and one brown/blue eye. She is the most loving dog you would ever meet. Her best friend is a stuffed bear and cat she stole off her owner's bed.

Bella has to sleep with her owner's every night. She is required to be leashed because she will bolt out of any door that is open. Bella loves her humans, her brother dog and cat sister. She is the silliest looking dog but the best dog. Bella will bark at anyone that she doesn't know especially cars driving by.

Bella can stand on her hind legs and start dancing. She is always begging for treats or a dog bone. You will find Bella sleeping in her pink round soft bed cuddled up with a child's blanket and her stuffed animals. Bella will let you know if she wants to be left alone or be loved and pampered on.

Bella's owner recently noticed a small lump on her stomach. She was taken to Deason's Animal Hospital. The veterinarian diagnosed it as a mammary gland tumor which is possibly cancerous. Bella was placed on antibiotics and steroids by mouth. The medication has not helped and the lump appears to have grown. Bella will need to undergo surgery to have the mass removed and a spay.

Bella's owners is a single divorced mother, raising two boys. Current monthly human medical bills expense is putting a financial strain on paying for the needed surgery medical bill.
