Pandora Bear Ball is a 9-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix in Tucson, AZ, who needs $1,900 for Surgery to Remove Lumps.

I have had Pandora for over 9 yrs now. I got her off of Craigslist and it actually took a month of playing email tag with the owner. From the minute I saw her photo I knew I had to have her. I named her Pandora Bear Ball because she's my Panda Bear and all my pets get my late ex-husband's last name Ball. Plus it's the opposite of Pandora's Box. She's the only female pet I've ever or will ever own.

Pandora's my baby. I could get 100 pets and she'd still be my baby. I have a 15 yrs old male dog and I love him and my 2 brother cats, but she's the only girl. Chopper's always been a family dog, but Pandora's mine. The only person she'd protect over me is my grandson and I taught her that. I can't wrestle with my kids because she'll jump up to protect me. She's literally everything I've ALWAYS wanted

Pandora has, is, and always will be special to my heart I knew that when I held her. She's by far the most loyal thing I have in my world. When I described the perfect pet it was Pandora. Although I wish I had put doesn't bark at everything on that list. She is and always will be my best friend and I will do any and everything to keep her healthy and safe just as she does for me. I love her!!!!!

A month after getting Pandora she got the Parvovirus. I remember holding her, crying, and begging her not to leave me. The vet was amazed at how soon I caught the virus and was able to save her. Now she has these 2 HUGE lumps that make her so uncomfortable constantly. Orange Grove Animal Hospital is where the surgeon is. I need help to help my baby and best friend get better!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

My late ex-husband died and I lost everything except my pets. I quit my job and moved back in with him because his health was getting so bad he needed 24/7 care. I didn't know he was dying until a week before he died. I'm barely getting by with the cost of life and I need help
