Bella is a 15-year-old dog in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $2,000 for Liver tumor removal surgery.

About fifteen years ago, I found Bella on the side of the road in the desert. A man was selling her along with her brothers and sisters. She was shaking and I could tell she was being abused. So I bought her for 100.00 dollars. Bella and I have done everything to together until she became sick

Bella loves to sleep and eat. She nearly bites my fingers off when I give her a treat. She used be so nice I guess it is her old age. I tried to train her to fetch like other dogs. But she thinks she is human. She looks at me as if I am crazy when I want to her to chase it. We joke around and think that she is not aware that she is a dog.

Bella is hilarious when she can not have her cooked chicken. She comments with a couple of sighs.
When I am feeling down, she is so sweet and comes up to me and gives me kisses. . I can always count on her to be there for me. She brightens my day and shows me that I am loved. Now, she is counting on me to help her feel better and I am going to do everything I can to make that happen.

I took her to a specialist that her vet recommended. The biopsy and ultrasound confirmed that she has a tumor on her liver that is 10 centimeters long. We are not 100 % sure it is cancerous. She still needs surgery immediately because the tumor could burst and she could bleed to death. This will also help diminish her pain.

In November my work hours were cut back unexpectedly. Due to this cut in hours it is hard for me to afford the expensive upcoming surgery she needs. It would mean the world to me and Bella if she could have the surgery.
