Sweet Bella Needs Cancer Surgery

Bella is the sweetest dog I know. She IS the original wiggle butt. I was there when she was born and the second person to hold her seconds after she was born...she snuggled right against my neck...and she instantly touched my heart.

Bella is my friend Chris O’Pray’s constant companion. She truly owns Chris’ entire heart. Bella will sit on Chris’ lap and wrap her arms around Chris’ neck and hug her! I believe Bella understands every word that is spoken to her.  She is a remarkable soul. 



Bella has a tumor on her rectum. The vet said it’s rectal cancer. It has to come out as soon as possible. When it is removed, Bella will make a full recovery. 

The issue, as you can possibly guess since this is Go Fund Me, is money. Chris is an incredible artist, but struggles money-wise. Artists aren’t always paid what their talent is worth. 


Surgey is imperative to saving this little girl’s life. The surgery, tests, and meds will cost approximately $2,000.  That’s way above anything Chris can provide for her baby. 

Her friends Jake and Tim and I are asking for your help. A talented artist who is a super-realist, Chris has agreed to craft a portrait to someone who gives a donation for her Bella.  Jake, Tim, and I thought it might be fun to turn it into a contest. Every $25 you donate will get you a chance at the grand prize!

We need to raise this money as soon as we can so the vet can remove the cancer from this sweet baby. Please give what you can. 

If you have any questions, please ask!

Thank you so very much!
