Nala is a 7-year-old GoldenDoodle in Bradenton, FL, who needs $2,000 for Acupuncture/Physical Therapy.

Nala was rescued from a breeder in Ohio January 6, 2022. When I got her she was terrified of everything (literally). She did not like any noise, everything scared her closing doors, pulling a chair out, riding in the car, storms, going outside etc.. She was not leash trained, only partially potty trained and did not like any food I gave her, nor toys. But, she was so sweet, I knew it would work.

I slowly leash trained her and learned what she liked to eat. Then we started making trips to my elderly clients together, she loved them, and they loved her.
We then started making trips to Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes for short periods of time, to get her used to the noise. We would also take long walks, where she really enjoyed looking at everything. She loved going out at night to look at stars.

One of the things that Nala has learned to love is rolling in the grass and wrestle me. She seems to especially like to do it when the grass is wet. She also like to snuggle really close at night when we are done going to my client's homes and watch movies, well I watch, she snores. She is learning new things everyday like sitting on command earns a treat. Hopefully she'll do it without the treat.

Currently Nala is being treated for a herniated disc from being bred to much at her previous home. Dr. Levine a Neurologist tried a non-surgical approach by using steroids and pain relief. Unfortunately, we have not seen the improvement we were hoping for. He suggested seeing an Acupuncturist/Physical Therapist called Dr Ying. We have talked to Dr Ying, they said they might be able to help.

Since I got Nala we have found that she has other medical issues that need regular treatment I have been paying for, I just cannot afford anymore. It would mean the world to see her out of pain and watch her have a happy pain free life. She deserves only the best.
