BellaRose is a 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier in Pensacola, FL, who needs $875 for Surgical Removal of Growth Above Right Ear.

Bella rose came into my life unexpectedly a little over 3 years ago. I had lost my lab, Ollie a yr earlier. We rescued each other. I needed a friend and so did she. She was attacked by her sister from a previous litter and honestly I was reluctant to consider a pit bull because of the stereotypes BUT… when we met each other and she called me to the bedroom that first night, I knew she was home.

Shortly after we found each other I noticed a little scab on her head, I thought maybe it was a bite but eventually it has turned into what I hope is a cyst. She never complains about it too much but I know it has to hurt. The first vet said he could remove it when I deciddd to spay her, another said it might be cancer. I want it removed but am not able to pay for the surgery, I have no income.

As you can tell by the pictures, Bella has a deep fondness for my grandson and vice versa, she is the best dog that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and loving. She came into my life and saved it, I would have never gotten through that first winter without her, she is my girl, my baby, my best friend and I don’t know if I would want to live without her. I love her.

I am not asking for all of the money to pay for the surgery and if you knew me you know how humbling this is for me. I am disabled , waiting on my hearing finally. The cyst is growing very fast and the guilt I feel when I look at her!!! I just need help, so I’m asking for it
