Bella is a 5 month old Mix-Breed in Overland Park, KS, , who needs $2,000 for Surgical Amputation and Physical Recovery.

Our Bella (short for Bellatrix) was staying at a rescue when we found her. She’s a hound mix, just shy of six months old, and full of energy. Now she lives with us in a cozy apartment filled with toys, beds, blankets, and treats galore. She’s been with us for over three months and has two cat siblings, Draco and Luna. Naturally, all our pets are named after Harry Potter characters.

She was involved in a hit-and-run with a car on the 13th and has been hospitalized ever since. Her back left leg suffered two fractures—one at the hip and one just above the ankle. The joint in her left hip had to be removed. Unfortunately, her back right leg had to be amputated due to extensive damage. She now faces months of physical therapy to regain strength and adjust to a new way of life.

She is the sweetest and most cuddly puppy ever. She's a Diva and loves attention, is super playful. She is well behaved, can get along with anybody. She's a little explorer as she's a hound mix, loves to go on walks. Is not camera shy and will strike a flawless pose. No sleeping position is uncomfortable and will spawl out wherever she sleeps. She is our whole world and would do anything for her.

We had a small emergency fund for a situation like this, but could never imagine it being this severe, causing it to cost much more than we had prepared for. We both work full time bringing in enough for daily life, but not something this unexpected and costly.
