Missy is a 2 year old Labrador Retriever in Cedar Hill, TN, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

Missy was puppy when I had gotten her from a cousin of mine. We’ve been together for two years come July 19th (her birthday). Missy lives with one other dog, Devin. They’ve been best of friends since. I gave Missy her name by calling out names to see which she responded to the best. She is a black lab, pitbull, and possibly mixed with more breeds.

Missy has had a partial ACL tear in her back left leg, which healed fairly well. Last Sunday (06-08-2025), she had torn her ACL and her Meniscus on her right back leg. The veterinary said that Labs and Pitbulls are prone to ACL tears and since Missy is both, she is predisposed. The veterinary office is Modern Vet in Springfield Tennessee where they diagnosed Missy.

Missy is simply my best friend. She’s always there to comfort me when I cry, she’s always there to make me laugh with how silly she is. She’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. She loves everyone she meets and she particularly loves to play with babies and children. Missy is very full of life and is the most precious thing to me. She’s my girl, and she’s everyone’s friend.

I am only 20, I just started cosmetology schools and am full time student, currently am unemployed. It would mean the world to me for my best friend to not be in any pain. I don’t want to have to put her down while she’s so young and full of life.
