Hi Alifpapa!!
Are you sure it's blood not just colored? He hasn't gotten into any dyes or beets - come to mind. Beets can do wonderful things to urine. Blood is thick, will quickly go brown to almost black.
Does it smell like urine? Or like blood? Is he fixed? Could the blood be coming from his testicles?
Urinating blood is alarming and could have multiple causes, all of which need immediate attention. Without a urinalysis, you can't know if it's a bladder infection or not. With blood in the urine there are three likely sources -- from the bladder, from the kidneys and from a clotting disorder leading to generalized bleeding tendencies.
Bleeding from the bladder usually occurs because of cystitis (bladder infection), bladder stones or bladder cancer. Bleeding from the kidneys can also be due to kidney infection, kidney stones or cancer affecting the kidney. In addition, traumatic injuries may lead to bleeding from the kidneys.
My hope is that it's an infection ... or dyes or beets.
It is a good idea to be going to the vet. They can do the testing necessary to rule out problem disease.

Our Dalmation had urinary stones or kidney stones....he was old and he needed surgery...we opted to have him put to sleep because he was in poor health all the way around. He was straining to urinate and he did pee some blood. The vet told us that eventually he would have had total blockage and would have been dead within 12 hours. Don't know if this is your dog's problem..but I'd sure find a way to get her to a vet.

you should take her straight to someone that can take care of her. if you don't have the money to afford random vet bills which are a part of owning a dog, then you shouldn't have a dog. Your poor dog shouldn't suffer because you don't have the financial backing needed to care for her. Sorry if this came across mean, but I see this sort of thing all the time and the dogs are the ones that suffer.

Sounds like your dog has a urinary tract or kidney infection. This is VERY BAD. Most times if you take your animal to the vet and explain your situation, they will put you on a payment plan. I did this when my cat got hit by a car, and I didn't have money to pay for it. If you don't do anything about your dog, she will ultimately die from the lack of veterinarian's treatment.

Pretty much what the last people have said. However for the dogs sake, pure cranberry juice (the kind you get at the health food store, not grocery store) is good for urinary problems in dogs.
It is my opinion that no one has the right to take life. Especially when it's over money. I'd sell my soul to save my dogs.

it will die if you don't take it to a vet
it's most likely a bladder infection, now it can't pee and pees very little each time, and it contains blood? bladder infection, one shot and some meds will fit it, go to a vet
it should cost less then 100, 150 the most

The humane society where they can find an owner who can properly care for it. Urinating blood is always a VERY bad sign and requires medical attention. If you let it go untreated it can end up making the dog suffer and could lead to it dying. Don't get a pet unless you can afford to get it to a vet when necessary.

Call the humane society in your area. There are free or reduced cost animal clinics manned by volunteers in most larger cities.

Call the nearest emergency vet clinic..when they are open...and they will give you advice.
Mine did..when I only asked a question, wondering if I should bring her in. Didn't need to..they gave me a homje remedy..but it was for a different problem.
Many shelters have low cost vet clinics in them...give them a call...
