Florence, AZ

Bella came to us just before her 2nd birthday. I found her on a pet finder/rescue site and adopted her from the previous owner, who couldn't handle her anymore. She is a strong-willed Shepsky, to say the least, but we love her and she's been a great companion to our household for six and a half years. Especially to my 78yo mother. Bella developed large stones in her bladder, likely from drinking the water here in AZ, according to our vet Alma School Animal Hospital. Drs. Heather and Hector were amazing and swiftly took care of her and set up surgery. She ended up having 5 large stones and several smaller ones. Her surgery was on Nov. 1st. Bella recently lost her buddy of six and half years, our Chihuahua, Princess, in April, so she's an only dog right now. She's really attached to my mother, as she follows her everywhere and sleeps near her or with her at night. When she got sick, she wasn't herself at all and kept having accidents all over the house. This was a major unexpected expense that we were not prepared for after having our solar panels go out and still dealing with the cost of repairing that and the following electric bills when it wasn't working. Bella is now on prescription food as well.
