Bella is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu in Tucson, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Cystotomy.

Bella lives in a loving home, she has been with us since she was a puppy and now she is years old. Her mom and dad had a litter and we fell in love with her. In our household she gets treats and gets to sleep on ours beds. She has a nice backyard to run around in. Her water and food bowl never go dry.

Bella is a happy dog and always so full of energy and she is so loving. She loves to sleep on our beds with us and we often find her laying right next to us in the bed. She loves other people as well and has never hurt anyone. She loves all the family especially the baby cousins. She especially loves her human sister, they are inseparable.

Im a single mother, working part time and going to school full time to finish my RN. We live pay check to pay check. My daughter cried herself to sleep thinking her dog was going to die. It would mean the world to have our ball full of energy back to her normal self.

2/12/21 at 9pm because she wasn't acting herself. I took her to VCA pet hospital, they discovered 5 bladder stones and 1 stuck in the urethra, they were able to do a catheter flush to push the stone into the bladder. A cystotomy needs to be performed, that is $4,000. I paid the $1,175 to have x-rays and catheter flush done to buy some time , but ABC pet clinic refused to do the surgery.

I love that she gets a burst of energy and starts running all over the house and jumping all over the couches. She always makes everyone laugh when she has her energy bunny moments. She hates her bath times and shakes all over the place and flings water on us and makes us laugh. She is super playful and we love her energy level.
