Buster's ACL Surgery

My names is Melissa Sampson, I'm 21 years old and on October. 1, 2015 I rescued a 4 year old, handsome lab mix named Buster from Lucky Dog's Daycare in Peabody, MA.  Buster came into the daycare with a bad back left leg and has been limping for quite some time now.  Before Buster lived at Lucky Dog's, he lived in a small space, didn't get to go on walks, didn't get much attention and didn't get to play much.  He came in with a grumpy attitude and didn't really like anybody.  I knew he needed a home and I knew I couldn't let him be miserable forever.  I brought my mom in to meet him and she instantley fell in love.  We brought him home for a trial day and his mood changed very quickly.  Even just the car ride home made him a lot happier.  We all fell in love so quick and him and I became inseprable.  After I signed all the papers to officially make him a Sampson, I knew I had to take him to the vet to find out what's wrong with his leg.  On October. 5, 2015 we found out he has a torn ACL and needs surgery ASAP.  Unfortunatley, pet insurance does not cover pre-existing injuries, leaving me to pay the full 3,200 for him to have full mobility again.  The vet gave Buster some pain medicine that he takes twice a day to help in the meantime.  Unfortunatley, Buster is getting worse.  On October. 6, 2015 he started to walk with his leg in the air, not putting any weight on it.  We are trying everything we can to help him until he gets his surgery but we could use your help, too.  Even $5 will help a whole lot.  Please help Buster get his surgery so he can run around and finally play like he should have been his whole life.  Thank you.
