This is our sweet girl Belle. She was just diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma. She is our whole world! Some of you may know my daughter and daughter-in-law's story. They run an animal rescue called Riggy's Rescue. They have rescued countless dogs, given them medical treatments, and nourished a starving mama dog and her 8 puppies that were dumped on the side of the road. They just rescued a kitten someone threw out a window of a moving car on a busy highway. The kitten ended up with his tail amputated. Every time I visit, there is a new addition to the rescue. They have 10 dogs as of now and 3 cats. My daughter has rescued everything from rabbits to turtles. Both girls work full-time jobs to only come home to a full-time job of bathing, feeding, medicating, dressing wounds, washing crates, and taking these animals to countless vet appointments. Sometimes they don’t eat dinner themselves until 9:00 at night because the duties of the rescue come first. They have had all of them neutered. They work their butts off and I believe for all the love and dedication they have put in, they deserve back.

Belle is 6 years old. She's a big girl with a heart bigger than her size. She too was a rescue. She’s lived with our family in Pensacola where she loved the dog beach. She now lives with her mamas in Birmingham, Alabama. Belle enjoys nothing more than playing fetch with her glow-in-the-dark ball and throws it back at you. She is the boss in the house. She herds the other rescues and gets so upset when the cats are on top of the cabinets. She controls them too. She is silly, loving, loyal, and kind. Belle has brought so much joy into our lives. She is a character and always makes us laugh. Big goofball.

I am asking if anyone can find it in their heart to help out. These girls have dished out a lot of their own money to save the lives of other animals that they now need help with Belle’s expenses. If she doesn’t begin treatment, the vet said it could be 4 weeks until we will lose her. If she receives treatment to the full extent, she will be given a year to 18 months, which will extend her life just a bit longer. Longer time to live her life and hopefully living longer than the expectancy. We love her so very much and are extremely heartbroken and devastated. It doesn’t matter how much you can give, and if you can’t, prayers are definitely appreciated. Thank you.

I have included the vet's results and treatment plan to show proof we are legit and all money is going to Belle’s treatment.
