Meet Bella, an adorable six-year-old French Bulldog from California who is currently battling a serious and painful condition—a mast cell tumor. To help her recover, Bella urgently needs chemotherapy that is estimated to cost $580.28 - $905.53 for each of the 8 treatments of Vinblastine. Paws 4 A Cure is providing a $400 grant, but her mom is trying to raise an additional $2,230 for the remainder of the funds that Bella needs to move forward with the treatment.

Her loving mom has shared her heartfelt story, which you can read—along with more adorable photos and a video —on Bella’s fundraising page.

You can help make a life-changing difference for Bella and her family by making a tax-deductible donation toward her veterinary care. Every dollar brings her closer to healing.

If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing her fundraising page helps spread the word and brings us closer to our goal.

Thank you for being a part of Bella’s journey. Let’s give her the chance she deserves.

“Bella is my 6-year-old French Bulldog and truly the heart of my life. She is the most gentle, loving soul—sweet with everyone she meets and always there to comfort me when I need it most. Earlier this year, I noticed something wasn’t right, and after several vet visits, Bella was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor that had spread to her lymph node. Since then, she has undergone surgery to remove the tumor and affected lymph node, and she is currently on medications while we prepare for the next step in her treatment.

Although we are grateful the cancer has not spread further, Bella still needs chemotherapy to give her the best chance at more time and a good quality of life. This journey has been emotionally and financially overwhelming, but I am doing everything I can to fight for her.

Bella came into my life when I needed her most, and she has been my comfort, my safe place, and my family ever since. She is not just my dog—she is my heart.

Bella is my heart and my home, and I will do everything I can to give her the life she deserves.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Bella’s story and for any support you can give—whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply keeping her in your thoughts.”
