Nala is a 5 year old Perro de Presa Canario in Des Moines, IA, who needs $2,000 for TPLO (ACL) Surgery.

Nala is a presa canario, we got her as a puppy from her mom. She is a character loves to talk to you when she wants something whether its attention or food. Her best friend is my 12 year old pitbull Sadie they do everything together.

This is an emergency, took her to our vet at All Pets Hospital and they did xray and said she needs a TPLO (ACL) surgery. She is in a lot of pain. I have a consultation with specialist on 10/31/25 at Blue Pearl in Des Moines, IA, and if all goes well they do same day surgery. I don't have a estimate sheet, but they did inform me that consultation will be around $300 and surgery could be $6k.

Nala is the biggest teddy bear and lover. She loves children, loves her rope and tug a war, she knows the difference between a child playing with her and an adult. She is very strong. She is the biggest talker. If I don't pay attention to her she will yell at me, she lets me know when her bowl is empty and when she wants outside.

I am on a fixed income. I only get Disability every month. I want Nala happy and talking back at me again, not sad and in pain. To have her be able to walk normal and be happy would mean the world to me. She is my baby!
