Maybell is a 3-year-old Pitbull in Louisiana, MO, who needs $400 for Steroid Injection.

I adopted Maybell from a shelter down in St Louis MO. I had been looking for a dog for a friend for my Doberman for several months when one day I happen to come across Maybell's video that the Shelter had posted on their website advertising her being available for adoption. Her eyes absolutely made my heart melt. She has the most caring, loving look on her face you could ever imagine.

When I first brought her home, she and my Doberman immediately bonded. They ran together in the yard and wrestle all the time together. They are inseparable. The love them two have for each other is absolutely incredible. They have their own bedroom with a couch in it where they hang out when Im at work or at bedtime. These two are constantly licking and kissing each other.

Theis dog loves to cuddle, she will whine if she can't get close enough to her humans. She is scared of a lot of noises though, so you have to be really careful with the vacuum or anything that makes noise. If there are sirens going off outside, she immediately wants inside. She is very special to me unlike any dog I've ever had before.

Maybell started limping a bit but now it is almost constant. She won't use her back left leg at all. So, I took her into the vet, and they did Xray's and discovered that she has an ACL Tear that needs a steroid injection and join supplements to help her heal. Thankfully it is only a partial tear but needs immediate assistance, so it doesn't get worse.

I am a single person and I only have one income. Just recently I had to pay for emergency surgery for my Doberman so I am currently paying on her vet bills and the this happened with my pitbull. My dogs mean everything to me, they are my family.
