Help Alissa get her dog surgery

I'm creating this fund for my niece, Alissa.  Her dog, Whiskey, desperately needs surgery on both back legs. From what I understand, it is the equivalent of a person needing ACL surgery.   Alissa doesn't have the means to get this surgery for her dog and is sick about it.  Whiskey is the sweetest girl.  Yesterday, she was at the lake and did what she loves....swam.  It made her so lame that Alissa had to carry her to the car.  Apparently, she carries her alot.  The money donated to this GoFundMe account will be used for the necessary operations on both of Whiskey's hind legs.....at a cost of $3,500 each.  The surgery is needed as soon as possible so this sweet girl can have a life full of fun and activity.  She is just 4 years old.  I wish I had the means to do this for Alissa myself, but unfortunately that isn't the case.  So, I am doing the next best thing and setting up this GoFundMe account.  It would mean the world to Alissa to be able to give Whiskey a life free of pain.  On a sidenote, Whiskey was a rescue and Alissa already saved her once, now she wants desperately to save her again.  Any help anyone can give would be so appreciated!!!
