Nala is a 5 year old Boxer in Jim Thorpe, PA, who needs $9,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy Surgery.

Story:
My name is Michelle, and my sweet 5‑year‑old Boxer, Nala, has been a constant source of joy and love for our family since we brought her home from a breeder near Allentown, Pennsylvania, during COVID in 2020.

Nala’s personality is a little ornery, but she is deeply loving and was always full of energy before her injury. She loved walking around our neighborhood, greeting other dogs.

Nala is a 5‑year‑old Boxer who was recently diagnosed with complete ACL tears (cranial cruciate ligament ruptures) in both of her back legs. This painful condition makes it very difficult for her to walk, stand, or enjoy the activities she once loved.

She is being treated at Eastern Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, under the care of Dr. Melissa Gibson.

Nala has always been the heart of our home. Whenever we come back from being out, she greets us with uncontainable excitement. Before her injury, she would jump up, put her front paws on us, and stand tall on her back legs to say hello. One of her sweetest quirks is the way she tilts her head, as if she’s really listening and understanding every word we say.

She shares a special bond with me

The cost of Nala’s surgery — $7,000 to $9,000 is completely out of our budget and will never be within our reach without help. We’already spent so much just to get her diagnosed and to understand what she needs.

Right now, Nala is in so much pain And needs your help.
