I adopted Nala when she was just a puppy, and she has been my best friend for the past 5 years. She has more than half her life to live and am willing to do whatever I can to save her life. She currently lives with me and her daughter, Kiara near Cleveland, Ohio. They are my emotional support and have helped me get through traumatic times in my life. She is an incredibly loving dog with a high emotional IQ. She lovesss going for walks and rides and gets along well with other dogs and people. She is an incredible mother to her crazy daughter, Kiara. She deserves to keep creating more happy memories.

She was diagnosed with a tumor on her rectum that has hampered her ability to empty her bladder, causing damage to her intestines. I've seen 4 different veterinarians, and the removal of the tumor is the only way to save her life. It has gotten so big that the only facility capable of this removal is the Metropolitan Animal Hospital, which is incredibly costly. I'm already in over 5K on medical bills just for the diagnosis (CT Scans, Samples, Meds, etc.) and am now being told the surgery alone is going to be over another 5K in bills and I am starting to have to look for other means for support to help save her life.

It is not cancerous, but if it doesn't get removed it will mess up her intestines and she will die from it if not put down sooner. Doing everything I can to help save her life, I just need something to go our way for once. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
