Bella is a 6-year-old German Shepard in Thornville, OH, who needs $2,000 for Veterinary Cardiologist.

Bella is a wonderful 6-year-old German Shepard. She came from a rescue shelter. She is loved by my two children and me. She performs specific tasks for my disabled son who need her for his very daily living skills. Bella is very intelligent and has such a wonderful demeanor. She gives us unconditional love. I would not know what to do without her.

It is incredible just how much emotional support Bella has brought to our family. Having a special need child is hard at times to manage. However, Bella sees no issues. Each morning she runs to my son & patiently waits for her task needed. She has given us companionship, someone to talk to, to enjoy during the day & is a lifesaver for when sadness is faced by my son. She is a dream come true.

Bella loves pepperoni treats. She is a talker, afraid of thunder, fascinated by snow and loves laying on your lap. She loves to explore new things with her noses. She loves to nudge you for attention to get her belly rubbed. She is incredibly noble and loyal. We can rely on her to take charge when she needs to perform tasks for my son. We are grant for having her around.

Bella is diagnosed w/ heartworm disease. It is a serious & potentially fatal disease. She needs treated w/ antibiotic doxycycline to combat potential infection w/ bacteria that inhabit the heartworm prior to melarsomine treatment. Then she will receive injectable drug, melarsomine to kill adult heartworms. This drug is administered in a series of injections which are very expense & cost $2000.

I am a single mother with two children. One of my children has special needs that Bella supports. Each day Bella provides the necessary care for my son and our family. Her dedicated devotion is so valued. It would be insufferable to lose her due to a lack of funds.
