Bella is a 5 month old Australian Shepherd in Wilmington, NC, who needs $2,000 for Fracture Surgery.

Bella is my emotional support animal as a cancer survivor. I made it through my chemo and radiation treatments in 2023 and spent most of 2024 recovering and testing. I got Bella at 8 weeks and she was the light of my life a new beginning and opportunity to live my life again! She is my recovery and inspiration to get outside to walk, run and play!

I’m not sure how much people know about Aussies but they are a herder breed and love you! She was simply on my lap and climbing up my shoulder giving me kisses and made her way up around my neck. Then she was playing and kissing me and fell off the back of the recliner where she sustained a spiral fracture to her tibia! Heartbreaking injury and she was in co much pain my heart sank…

Bella is a young puppy and deserves the best life! Hopefully her surgery will get her back on her feet but these last weeks have been stressful for her and me and my wife. The splints have not worked but yet this loving dog still never meets a stranger and loves everyone! She is a gift that has been bestowed on my behalf to take care of her because my lord and savior took care of me!

This is a going to be substantially challenging in terms of surgical expenses and out of nowhere and needless to say on top of insurmountable medical bills already…
