Bella is a 6-year-old Boxer mixx in St Thomas, ON, who needs $400 for shots, skin problems and possible medications.

I have had Bella since she was born she came from a litter of 9 healthy puppies she will be 6yrs old in February she lives with me and my four children and a 6month old puppy tank that likes to annoy and bug her and doesn't let her sleep cause he always tries to get her to play and she is an older girl and just loves the attention and doesn't like to share it

She loves her treats and loves her family and my children and she doesn't like sounds or loud noises she loves attention but don't like her ears or feet being touched so it's hard to clip her nails she doesn't really play with toys but she loves her bone she also takes a bit to warm up to New people but doesn't bite just scared

Bella loves snow but hates storms and rain and refuses to go outside when raining and when I come back from shopping she will go inside the bags and take out her bone I just got her she loves to talk and she will talk back if you tell her not to do something and always makes me laugh and she thinks she is still a lap dog regardless of her size if she can fit on your lap then she's on your lap

Bella is normally a really healthy dog and has never missed her yearly shots until recently when my house flooded and made my bills outrageous and made me have to move then Bella started having a fishy smell coming from her so I asked the vet and they suspect it to be anal glands but can't afford to take her to the vet to get her treatment

I am a single mother of four young children on a fixed income and doing my best to provide but unexpected circumstances caused me to have financial problems and fall behind and my animals need to see a vet this is my last resort to get help.
