Every day, we are dealing with an enormous number of dogs that will be euthanized due to lack of space in different shelters. Rescues and network enthusiasts are exhausted trying to help dogs who are running out of time. Some get lucky. Some don’t. This fundraiser is for the ones who are still waiting.

MEET BEAUTIFUL BELLA

After 475 days, beautiful Bella is still sitting in a shelter

That is over a year of her life behind kennel walls.

Bella is a sweet, playful 4.5 year pup with a heart full of love and a sparkle in her eyes. She can be a little timid at first, but with gentle praise and patience, she blossoms into a confident, affectionate companion who loves attention, soft pets, and interactive play. Bella is a toy fan especially Nyla bones, jolly balls, tennis balls, and stuffiest but her favorite thing is connecting with people. She knows basic cues like sit and wait, walks well on leash, especially after a quick romp in the yard. Bella is looking for a solo-pet home with young teens who can give her the love, patience, and guidance she deserves. If you’re ready for a loyal, fun-loving companion, Bella is eager to meet you!

Bella would do best in a home with:

  • Kids 16+

  • No other dogs

  • ❤️ Someone willing to give her patience and stability

WHY FUNDS ARE NEEDED

When adopters don’t come, rescues step in — but rescues cannot pull dogs without funds.

Your donation will be used to:

  • Cover pull fees from the shelter

  • Support the rescue organization that commits to saving Bella

  • Help with initial care, transport, and placement

This fundraiser exists for one purpose only:

To give a rescue the ability to say “YES, we can save her.”

HOW YOU CAN HELP (3 POWERFUL WAYS)

1. Adopt — The Perfect Outcome: If you or someone you know can adopt Bella, this is the best possible ending. A home saves her life instantly.

  • Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter (Wantagh, Long Island, NY)

  • Please go to the shelter site: shelter site

2. Donate — Help a Rescue Pull Bella: If adoption isn’t possible, your donation directly enables rescue. Even small amounts matter — they add up to freedom.

3. Share — Visibility Saves Lives: Sharing Bella’s story costs nothing and can change everything. One share can reach the right person at the right moment.

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL PAST BELLA

475 days is too long.

Shelter life slowly erases hope.

Bella is waiting.

Rescue is ready — but only if we help.

Thank you for caring.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for giving Bella a chance.

Помогите нам оплатить счет за операцию, которая спасла Ариэль

Всем большой привет! Познакомьтесь с моей любимой, самой доброй и умной девочкой — Ариэль (Эся) . Мы взяли её из приюта, когда ей было всего 2 месяца, и с того самого дня она стала нашим настоящим лучиком счастья. Начало испытаний После 5 лет беззаботной жизни у Ариэль начались проблемы. Сначала — легкая хромота после пляжа. Я не придавала значения, думала, просто устала. Но хромота стала все больше и больше проявляться. Врачи поставили диагноз: проблема с голеностопом правой задней лапы. В конце 2023 года ей сделали  первую сложную операцию , которая обошлась нам в  5000$ . Год борьбы: две новые операции и долги Начались 8 недель тяжелой реабилитации. Ариэль — девочка очень привязанная, как маленький ребенок, не могла оставаться одна. А мы живём в кондо на втором этаже... Пришлось носить её на руках вверх и вниз. Все 36 килограммов! Моя спина до сих пор напоминает мне об этом. Нам нельзя было бегать, прыгать, гулять только 5-15мин.  Через полгода —  новая хромота, н...

Ayúdenos a pagar la factura de la cirugía que salvó a Ariel.

Perdón por mi español. ¡Hola a todos! Les presento a mi niña más querida, amable e inteligente: Ariel (Esa) . La adoptamos de un refugio cuando tenía solo 2 meses, y desde ese mismo día se convirtió en nuestro verdadero rayo de sol. El comienzo de las pruebas Después de 5 años de vida despreocupada, Ariel comenzó a tener problemas. Primero, una leve cojera después de la playa. No le di importancia, pensé que solo estaba cansada. Pero la cojera empezó a manifestarse más y más. Los veterinarios diagnosticaron: un problema en la articulación del corvejón (tobillo) de su pata trasera derecha. A finales de 2023, le realizaron  su primera cirugía compleja , que nos costó  $5000 . Un año de lucha: dos nuevas cirugías y deudas Comenzaron 8 semanas de rehabilitación intensa. Ariel es una perrita muy apegada, como una niña pequeña, no podía quedarse sola. Y vivimos en un apartamento en el segundo piso... Tuvimos que cargarla en brazos para subir y bajar. ¡Toda una masa de 36 kilogramos!...

Help Cover Ariel’s Surgery and Recovery Costs

  Hi everyone, Meet Ariel , our beloved rescue dog! We brought her home at just two months old, and from day one, she's been the gentlest, most loving soul—always sensing when we need comfort and brightening our toughest days. She's truly irreplaceable. Tragically, Ariel has faced serious health issues far too young. She's already had two major surgeries on her back legs ( right ankle repair and left TPLO with scope ). Through it all, she's stayed trusting and full of spirit. GoFundMe link On December 19, 2025 , she underwent another big procedure for bilateral elbow dysplasia: Diagnosis: Elbow Dysplasia – Bilateral Procedure: Bilateral Elbow Arthroscopy with Medial Coronoid Process Removal This was essential to ease her pain and protect her joints long-term. The total bill came to $7,140 (placed on a credit card), with invoice and post-op report attached for transparency. This hits hard on top of everything else: I'm still paying $393/month for her prior surgery ...
