Bella and Sunshine Rescue

We are a dog rescue focused on Dobermans and Doberman-mixes. We will assist other dog breeds as well. We are volunteer-operated and volunteer-managed.

Bella and Sunshine Rescue is a 501(c)(3) based in sunny Southern California. We pull dogs from shelters or take in stray/surrenders, and provide them with medical care to ensure health and to treat (or stabilize, for matters that cannot be treated) any illnesses or injuries. Once the dogs are medically cleared, we find them loving furever homes. In other words, no one in this organization takes ho

me any income. 100% of donations received go straight to helping shelter and homeless pets. Overhead and operations cost is paid for via a special grant specifically for that purpose from one of our corporate benefactors.

Sanctuary cancer pups Sam and Sarge checkin' in to see if they can raise money for their medical care!💵🩺🩻🐾

🐾Sam came to our rescue in September 2024 when he was found laying on the pavement in LA, dehydrated, flea-infested, with overgrown nails and heat stroke symptoms.. oh lets not forget the perpetually ulcerated eye and a bunch of broken fragmented teeth. We had the bad eye removed, but as he as waiting for his furever home, a lump on his side developed, deemed cancerous by our vet and removal of which would require removal of 2 of his ribs (NOT going to put him thru more surgery.)😅Sam b***y suddenly started to swell last week, and it turned out he had pus-filled infected a**l glads. We had it flushed, but any help with the vet bill of around $354 or so would be amazing.
🐾Sarge came into our rescue in December 2023 with osteosarcoma. We amputated the offending leg, and he's still around and kicking. HIs recent vet visit (vomiting, poor appetite), doctor found some weird stuff in his lungs, but... regardless, he's beaten the odds for over 3 years! Sargie is allowing us to use his image to fundraise the $1,000, plus another $230 something in meds that he needs each month or two to keep him movin'

Any help appreciated to keep our hospice pups comfy!

Rya (fka riyo) has been soaking up the sunshine with her new family 🥰🩷

If you had the pleasure of meeting you know she is the cutest sweetest little dobie around. It took her some time to find her forever home but we are so happy she landed an incredible family. Sometimes the best things take time and it was definitely perfect timing for this sweet pea. 🫶

Thank you foster mama Bre for stepping up for Riyo (and Vector 🪽) when they needed someone the most. 💕

Happy Forever baby girl 🏡💗

We have bad news for Dorian, but there is a tiny bit of good news in it.🥺❤️‍🩹

The bad news: Dorian’s result is “consistent with disc-associated wobbler syndrome with component of disc herniation, scar tissue, likely result of chronic dynamic movement at C6/7” MRI shows that he has a disc herniation at his C6-C7 that’s pushing on his spinal cord (on the MRI, his spinal cord appears round in all other sections, but is flattened at the C6-C7). His C5-C6 is starting to degrade as well. He also has scar tissue all around that area, which means that spinal cord had been irritated for a good year or so prior to this becoming an issue.

Surgical options were discussed. The surgeon can go in and cut away the bulging part to alleviate pressure. Spinal fusion of that junction is also an option discussed too, but it’ll put stress on the C5-C6 that is already bad. But it is painful in its own right and it will come back, and results are also not guarantee. It will also only give him a few extra years (which he has anyway), so almost pointless…

Our neurologist estimates Dorian’s disease is slow-progressing, so we’re looking at another 2-4 GOOD years with proper pain management and steroids, even without surgery.

Dorian is safe and happy with his foster mom Michelle. He has a checkup with our neurologist in 3 months to monitor disease progression and to make any med adjustments needed. Moving forward, we just need to keep him from any crazy intense activities to reduce the risk of rupturing the bad disc or of making the disease progress faster. He still gets walks, snuggles, treats.

Dorian and our rescue would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our donors to make Dorian’s diagnosis possible. At least now we know, so we can better manage his pain and this disease.

(Report attached in case any ya’ll interested in reading it.)

Dorian dreams of being able to walk without pain, and to play like a healthy dog again.🥺🧸 We are fundraising the last $1000 we are short for Dorian’s MRI. Would you help Dorian? Just $5 from your coffee budget this week would mean the world to us and Dorian. Dorian deserves a chance - at least a thorough diagnosis. He was returned to the shelter in mid 2025 because by his last owner because he had cancer on his front leg and his owner could not afford to have it removed. He joined our rescue, and we had that mass removed and tested. Our vet is confident the cancer is gone after that surgery.

We thought that was when Dorian’s life was about to change for the better, and started to help him look for his furever family.😔😔 But only a few weeks later, he started to wobble and lose strength in his back leg, and had trouble squatting to potty. He has been on prednisone and it seems to help him keep his ability to walk (albeit still wobbly), but we need to get to the bottom of this.

Sweet Dorian has been patiently waiting as we take care of the more urgent medical emergencies in the rescue. Now our focus is on him. His MRI is scheduled 2 days from now - he will get his MRI regardless if we raise the final $1k (hola, Anna’s bank acct, hehe). But we appreciate any help so we aren’t destitute and can continue our work.🥹🥺🙃🥲❤️‍🩹🙏

This sweet pea is all about cuddles. She’ll climb right into your lap to receive ALL the affection.🥰

Hola. Simon here to update you that he is currently on flight to is furever home in Nova Scotia, Canada! Simon will be his new family's second generation of Doberman. 💔🥹🥹❤️ In our phone call, his dad told us that he will make sure that Simon gets all the love and comfort and structure to make up for his lonely, cold, and hungry short life on the streets.❤️‍🩹

Simon is going to have ACRES of land on the countryside to run on at his new home. (But we know he'll just be glued to his dad's side in true Dobie fashion.)

Big thank-you to foster dobergodmama Dedri who fostered and gave this boy all her patience and love so he can decompress, learn, and become a goodest boy in the whole wild world! You are truly a super hooman!🩷

We can't forget - these brave humans got him to safety. We admire you guys and your work, and we can never do what you do every single day.🧡

And our donors, volunteers, and supporters. My gosh, you guys are just... I am just so thankful beyhond words. NONE of this is possible without you.

✈️🚙🚙Bon Voyage, Simon! (His flight already took off at 7am this morning from LAX; he will be landing in Newark, NJ and then begin his long ground journey 15 hours into Canada.
