When Josh met Kelly six years ago, she had recently lost her mother and her beloved dog Bella was helping her cope with the heartbreaking loss. Today, Josh and Kelly are engaged to be married, they have a 16-month-old daughter, and they both share an incredibly strong bond with Bella who is now eight years old. "Upon starting our relationship six years ago, not only did I gain a wonderful, loving partner, I also gained an energetic and adorable little dog," says Josh.

This incredibly cute Pinscher mix is full of life, and she loves to play, especially with Buddy, a dog Josh and Kelly rescued three years ago. However, Bella recently began having trouble urinating and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. After a year of treatments and vet visits, Bella's symptoms failed to go away, so doctors performed x-rays and discovered bladder stones and a mass inside this sweet dog's bladder.

Bella was referred to Affiliated Veterinary Specialists, and they recommended a cystotomy surgery to remove the stones and a partial cystectomy surgery to remove the mass. While Josh and Kelly desperately want to get their beloved pup the care she needs, they're struggling to come up with the money to pay for the costly surgeries. "Bella is such a wonderful dog, and I believe she still has many years ahead of her," says Josh. "We do not want to take that gift of life from her solely because we are not financially well off. It's not fair to her, or any pet for that matter."

Roxy, a stunning #Ragdollmix, loves nothing more than spending time with her mom Theresa and her feline brother George. However, this gorgeous girl recently had to be separated from her beloved family after Roxy was hospitalized due to an obstruction in her digestive tract.

Experts at Tier 1 Veterinary Medical Center hoped this two-year-old feline would be able to pass the obstruction on her own, but Roxy's condition worsened, and she is now showing signs of infection. Her veterinarian is recommending emergency surgery to remove the obstruction, and after a short recovery period, Roxy should be back to playful, cuddly, and curious self.

However, Theresa isn't prepared to pay for such a large vet bill, so she's asking for your help to save Roxy's life. Our amazing friend @iamlilbub has agreed to match 33% of every donation made towards Roxy's care, which means your contribution will go even further towards helping this wonderful young feline.

Evelyn has had Chyenne since she was a puppy, and over the past four years they've developed an unbreakable bond. Not only have they enjoyed fun adventures together, like regular fishing trips, this beautiful #BlueHeelermix has been there for her mom during very difficult times too. “When I had my cancer surgery, she was by my side every second and helped me with my healing and physical and mental status,” says Evelyn.

However, this four-year-old pup recently jumped down from Evelyn's bed, injuring her knee, and a visit to @sagecenters revealed Chyenne has a luxating patella. Chyenne's veterinarian believes surgery is the best treatment option, and they expect this beautiful girl to make a full recovery following the operation and physical therapy.

However, Evelyn is a senior citizen on a fixed income, so she's unsure how she's going to get her beloved dog the care she needs, and she's worried it won't be long until Chyenee is unable to walk and will have to be euthanized. Evelyn doesn't want to lose her best friend, so she's asking for your help to get Chyenne the care she needs to have a long, happy, and active life!

When Tanya took one look at Shia's gorgeous green eyes, she immediately feel in love with stunning special needs cat! Shia, who was born with a malformed spine that affects her mobility and breathing, needed a very special home, so Tanya drove all the way from Ohio to Virginia to adopt her. Being such a sweet and affectionate kitty, it didn't take long for Shia and Tanya to form an enduring bond that has only grown stronger with time. "She is so much more than a pet,” says Tanya.

While she may move differently from a typical cat, Shia is a very happy and active girl who loves to play, especially with her favorite catnip toy. However, this beautiful 4-year-old feline recently suffered a severe bladder infection that required a trip to an emergency vet. Thankfully, Shia responded well to medication, but to make sure there's no prolonged damage to her kidneys, she needs to go to Miamitown Pet Hospital for a renal panel and a bladder evaluation.

However, Tanya -- who is dealing with health issues of her own -- is having difficulty finding the funds to pay for Shia's visit, so she's asking for your help. “Shia is the most loving, mild-mannered creature I have ever seen -- I can’t let her down,” says Tanya.

When Franklin was four years old, he was abandoned by his family, so it's no surprise he had difficulty trusting new people. Thankfully, Deborah came to his rescue, adopting the adorable Chihuahua and slowly earning Franklin's confidence. Eventually, this sweet boy adjusted to his new home, and five years later, Franklin couldn't be happier. "Franklin loves being part of a family," says Deborah. "He's learned how to play not only with other dogs, but also with humans. Though still cautious of strangers, he is very friendly, and while he is not cuddly, or affectionate much, he is so sweet, and his brown eyes melt my heart." However, a few years ago, Franklin began experiencing dental issues which have only gotten worse over time. Unfortunately, a recent visit to Mercy Pet Hospital revealed this handsome boy is in pain and needs to have some of his teeth removed as soon as possible, or Franklin will be at risk of developing a serious infection. While Deborah wants to get her beloved dog the care he deserves, she's having trouble coming up with the money to pay for the surgery, so she's asking for your help. "The doctor says they must be pulled, or he will get very ill from infections," says Deborah. "If anyone could help me end his pain and discomfort, I would be so grateful."
