Carly is a 4 year old American Bulldog in Fairport, NY, who needs $500 for TPLO Surgery - Repair of a Torn Cruciate Ligament.

Carly was rescued from a rescue that was not able to provide the veterinarian care she needed. Carly had bad allergies, her feet were in horrible shape, she was skinny and behind in her vaccinations. Carly had been surrendered to the rescue severely underweight and scared of everything. Her owner had been beating her and starving her. I took Carly home to foster but knew right away she was staying

A few weeks ago Carly was outside using the bathroom and did her normal lap before coming in. We have quite a bit of snow and ice and we believe she may have slipped on the ice and tore her cruciate ligament. After X-rays and a consultation it was determined that Carly would need TPLO surgery to repair the ligament and stabilize her knee.

When I got Carly she was scared of everything, any noise (big or small) would make her cower in fear, she shied away from people and wouldn't hold her head high. I have had Carly for a year this month and she is a new girl. She will let people approach her, she walks with a swagger of confidence and has learned to relax. Everyone knows Carly where I live and they love seeing how far she has come.

Due to a chronic illness I have been on disability for approx. 8 years. My income is fixed and I don't have much wiggle room. I need help with the last $500. Carly is only 4 and we want her to have many pain free years to run and play
