Help Save Stella – My Loyal Girl in Her Time of Need

Hi, my name is Tiff, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help for someone who means the world to me—my beautiful 12-year-old Aussie Bulldog, Stella.

Stella has been by my side through every high and low. She’s not just a pet—she’s family. During some of the hardest moments in my life, including my divorce, Stella was my constant. She has been my comfort, my joy, my reason to smile when the days felt darkest.

Now, it’s Stella who needs me—us—more than ever.

A few days ago, Stella suddenly became very unwell. After rushing her to the emergency vet, she was diagnosed with a severe abscess in her middle ear, dangerously close to her brain. It escalated quickly, and she needed immediate CT scans and emergency surgery to try and save her life and give her the chance to keep going strong.

The medical bills have been overwhelming, but I couldn’t hesitate—she’s worth everything to me. Between emergency consultations, specialist care, diagnostic imaging, and now post-op treatment and medication, the costs have already exceeded several thousand dollars.

If you know Stella—or even just understand the bond between a human and their dog—you’ll know how incredibly hard it is to see her in pain. She’s still fighting. She’s still wagging her little tail. And she still has so much love to give.

Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Stella’s vet care and recovery. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world to me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and for helping my girl.

With gratitude and hope, Tiff & Stella
