Healing Nala's Pain: Your Kindness Matters

My name is Angie. I have had Nala for 9 years. She has been the best dog I've ever known. She loves everyone. She was the trailer park mascot. She would escape to go visit everybody in the park. She is the sweetest. I rescued 2 puppies last year that were strays. She, of course, accepted them. The male stray was so strong that he doesn't, to this day, know his own strength. When they were playing, Nala tore her ACL. I didn't know what happened at first. I thought it would go away or get better, but it didn't. I didn't have a full-time job at the time, so it took a while, almost a year, before I could take her to the vet. I found out about her ACL being torn, and the surgery is so much. I can't afford it, but I love her and hate to see her in pain. I would so much appreciate any help I could get, thank you.
