Bella is a 2-year-old Pitbull in Owatonna, MN, who needs $2,000 for a cruciate ligament tear in her knee.

When we first heard of Bella we heard that she was living in filthy conditions. We got her when she was 4 weeks old and absolutely fell in love with her. She is my son's dog and she absolutely adores him. We currently live in a 3 bedroom house that has stairs and Bella kind of has a hard time going up them.

Bella is struggling at the moment; she's not able to do the stairs because she has a cruciate ligament tear in her left leg and she needs surgery to get it repaired. She does absolutely wonderful with my three kids. She absolutely loves them; she's a very kind and loving dog and she thinks she's a lap dog but she's not; 80 lb is a lot of weight!

I am a single mom of three beautiful kids; 13, 10, and 7. I don't have the financial income I'm on Social Security disability and I don't have the funds to help pay for Bella surgery that she needs if anybody would be willing to help me out that would be appreciate Thank you

We found out almost a year ago that Bella had a cruciate ligament tear in her left knee and that she would be needing surgery for that and I don't have the funds at the moment to get it fixed but the vet says that at 75% torn so that's why I was having a very hard time walking on it they will want it fixed before winter so then she can have time to be able to walk in the snow before it's too deep

Our dog Bella is so special; she's part of our family. She's my son's companion dog. She always has to stay in my son's room because there's no stairs no nothing like that it's pretty much like his little snuggling buddy. When she comes out looking like she's smiling at you love it
