Karina is a 3 year old Perro de Presa Canario in Panama city, FL, who needs $2,000 for Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL).

Karina is my beautiful baby girl, shes an almost 3 year old Presa canario. She was 5MO OLD living in a house with 7 other dogs. Some of which were extremely aggressive to other dogs. Which resulted in them being taken and uthenized. Since Karina was just a baby, they didn't take her! I begged the owner to let me have her! And he did! She's my best friend, my protector, we are connected deeply

About 6 months ago, we were out long boarding. When she was attacked by another large breed of dog. The fight resulted in her leg being injured. At the time I didn't see any swelling just her limping slightly. Over the corse of a few months its gotten worse. Last week she was playing catch with her ball and her ACL finally tore completely. Shes 130 lbs and extremely active. Surgery is a must!

Karina is my protector, she loves her family. Children, out in public shes very friendly. At home though, I wouldnt recommend just busting in our home. She's the most loving, empathic, emotional animal ive ever met. In fact she has more personality and common sense than the majority of people I know. I hate that shes hurting and I cant afford to take her pain away. She is such a good girl. I feel

Im a single 32 year old woman who just finally was freed from an extremely abusive relationship, another reason I got her) leaving him meant leaving everything and starting over. Its just me and her. I have no family no support system. And the surgery is very expensive.
