Tinkerbell is a 7-year-old Toy Poodle in Springfield, IL, who needs $988 for Removal of Spleen.

Tinkerbell was a gift to my daughter for her 5th Birthday, our first pet. Tinkerbell was the last out of her litter, the one no one wanted. As soon as I saw her sweet face I knew she was perfect for us. Tinkerbell has a big dog personality in a tiny body. She is our protector and will bark at everyone but me and my daughter, until they pet her that is.

Tinkerbell loves treats and loves chewing on bones. Tinkerbell loves going for walks and taking car rides. She goes everywhere with us. Tinkerbell has brought so much joy to our little family and has been through so much with us. She is our little protector and has such a great personality.

Tinkerbell is the best guard dog and can hear everything, even a car door far down the street. Tinkerbell is definitely a barker and has actually scared someone away who was in our backyard. Tinkerbell loves having her belly rubbed and as soon as we sit by her will lay on her back and grunt untold she gets her belly rub.

On August 5th while on vacation in Florida we received a call from my sister who was watching Tinkerbell, she said Tinkerbell had bloody stools and was throwing up and not eating. I told her to take her to the vet right away. Dr Peterson at Laketown Animal hospital called and said Tinkerbell had a tumor on her spleen and her spleen had to be removed right away. She had surgery immediately.

Tinkerbells vet bill came up to over $3000. I have $988 left to pay and can’t afford to pay it. I have used all of what I had in my savings to pay for her surgery to save her. With a daughter to raise alone, and prices going up I am in this situation unfortunately.
