Help Nala get TPLO surgery on each knee — Lincoln, NE

Nala is a 2½-year-old Cane Corso with the sweetest, most loving personality. We adopted her from the Capital Humane Society at 1½ years old. She was the very last dog we saw that day. I sat on the floor, softly said, “Hi baby,” and she walked over and rested her head on my shoulder. I looked at my husband and said, “She is coming home.”

Nala has ruptured CCLs in both knees, causing pain and limiting her mobility. She needs TPLO surgery on each knee, with her left knee treated first. Her care is being provided by Sirius Veterinary Orthopedic Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

Nala is such a special part of our family. She is smart, active, loving, and full of personality. She loves playing ball, searching for the perfect branch or log to call her own, playing in the snow, her walks, socializing, and cuddling up with us. Our hearts break for her because she seems so sad being unable to enjoy the things she loves. Helping her get back to that life means everything to us.

Nala needs surgery for two ruptured CCLs, costing $5,200–$6,200 per knee. We do not have pet insurance, and the cost of both surgeries is a significant unexpected expense. We’re asking for help so we can get her the care she needs as soon as possible.
