Nellie is a 4 year old English Mastiff in Knoxville, TN, who needs $2,000 for ACL Surgery on her Knee.

We got Nellie in Kentucky when she was 8 weeks old, for my son who is adhd and has anxiety. We love her so much and she is such a big part of our family, she has a sister that is 3 and an australian shepherd brother who is 3 as well that we rescued in 2023. Nellie loves car rides and being outside with the other 2 dogs she loves to play and be lazy in your lap and give you lots of kisses .

Nellie has always been a very healthy and friendly pup , just in the last year we have noticed lameness in her rear legs, we have taken her to Village Vet in Maryville and they diagnosed her with her knee problems with both her knees have an ACL tear.

Nellie is such a great girl she loves everyone and her best friend that she grew up with is her now 10 year-old brother they always sleep together every night and she makes sure he is protected. She loves to play with her furry siblings and will lay in anyone's lap to get some petting and give away her kisses to anyone who will let her

Our situation has changed because my husband has had a huge change in his pay, he has been in car sales for 5 years . Our pets are like our kids and to see her not able to live her best life a just be happy with her furry sister and brother and with us .
