Nilla is a 6 year old Golden Retriever in Greenville, SC, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

I live with my owner's daughter for now as my owner has cancer. I live with a few cats and another dog named Boo! I've been with her family since I was only a couple of months old.

A few days ago, I started limping badly. The vet found I had a ruptured CCL in my back leg and I need TPLO surgery to walk normally again. But at the vet, X-rays revealed something unexpected — severe bladder stones. They were nearly blocking my bladder completely. It was an emergency, and I was rushed to get surgery. However, this drained my guardian's savings. But I still need the leg surgery!

My name is Nilla, and I’m a 6-year-old Golden Retriever mix with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a serious case of the wiggles. I bark at everything (sorry, not sorry), love chasing squirrels and birds (and anything that gets in my yard), and when I want your attention, I throw myself on the floor and wiggle like a goofball until you can’t help but laugher.

The vet found that Nilla needed two surgeries - one for bladder stones that was emergent and another to fix a torn CCL in her back left leg. I was able to pay for the emergncy bladder surgery but I don't have enough for the CCL.
