Bentley is a 10-year-old Pomeranian in Riverside, CA, who needs $2,000 for perineal hernia surgery and neuter.

Bentley was a gift from my daughter when she moved out I live a alone and I’m elderly so she wanted me to have a companion. He has been my best friend and I love him dearly this is why it makes me so sad that I’m unable to pay for his surgery. It’s just me and him he is my best friend he knows when I need him, he’s there to comfort me when I’m sad. When I cry he licks my face to make me feelbettr

Bentley sleeps with me always has. he cuddles up next to me and waits until I wake up for himself to get up I take him on a walk every single day around the block he gets his treats when he’s a good boy he loves for me to chase him around when he has a treat I put him on the bed and pretend I will take it from him and he loves that. My granddaughter loves him as well.

I am retired I live off Social Security I only make $1200 a month and I have a mortgage. I have to pay all the bills on my own without any help. I use to have a part time job but with the COVID-19 I lost it. It breaks my heart to think he is in pain and I can’t help him.

Bentley has been sick for a couple of months I kept taking him to different vets and they kept telling me it was nothing finally a couple weeks ago I took him for his vaccinations at a low cost clinic and the nurse there told me that he had a hernia and needed a specialist to operate it. We took him to the specialist and that’s where we found out it would cost over $5000 to do it.

I had him for 10 years. Before him i didn’t like having pets but I am so in love with him I couldn’t be without him. My favorite thing about him is when I get home he runs to the door and hops like crazy because he’s so happy to see me immediately wants me to hold him. I love when I am sitting on the couch watching tv, he comes and lays on my shoulder to keep me company. I love him so much.
