Three Blind Angels

On April 20, 2015, my husband and I made one of the best decisions of our lives when we welcomed a family of three blind heelers into our hearts and home.  After purchasing our home we wanted to expand our family with rescue dogs, and after looking on the SPCA website we just knew there was something special about Bella, Bear, and Tres.  The infamous mom, son, and daughter trio had been at the shelter for a little over a year and were having difficulty finding a forever home due to their age and disability.  This was fortunate for us, because after meeting with these angels we just had to have them, and the rest is history! 

As of yesterday, Bella, the Matriarch of our lovable fur family, was taken to the vet with a very infected right eye that seemed to appear almost overnight.  After a series of tests it was concluded that Bella was suffering from increased ocular pressure and the only option to alleviate Bella’s pain is to have the eye surgically removed.  Since her other eye is also at risk (and to save her the unnecessary trauma of another surgery), it was decided to have both of her eyes surgically removed. The cost of Bella’s tests, surgery, and bloodwork will be $715.

Beau and I don’t ask for help very often, but we are reaching out to our community of friends, family, and animal lovers everywhere to see if they can assist us with Bella’s expenses.  Even if you are not in a position to donate, if you can please say a prayer or a kind thought for our beautiful Bella, we will be forever grateful from the bottom of our hearts!  Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
