Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted animal lovers, 

We're Mike and Ange Nevin, and we're reaching out with hopeful hearts for our sweet puppy, Lina. She has just turned 1, and in her short life, she has already brought so much love, joy, and laughter into our lives. Lina is a rescue from the Denver Dumb Friends League — the tiniest runt of her litter, but also the most fearless and most affectionate little girl you could ever meet.

Recently, Lina was diagnosed with a knee condition that requires surgery. She needs to have a plate put in her knee so she can walk, run, and play without pain. The procedure will cost $3,800, and while we're doing everything we can to cover expenses, we can't make it happen alone.

Why This Is Urgent:

The surgery must be done within the next 2 to 4 weeks to prevent further damage and reduce the risk of injury to her other knee.  We need to act quickly to give Lina the best chance at a full recovery and a pain-free life.

How Your Support Will Help:

Every donation will go directly toward Lina's surgery and recovery care. With your help with this surgery, she'll be able to get back to doing all the things she loves most — zoomies in the yard with her brother, Ernie, snuggling on the couch, nuzzling up to all her kitty friends, and greeting everyone she meets with her wagging tail, smiling underbite, and big puppy heart.

A Hopeful Future for Lina:

Lina's story is one of pure happiness and silly behaviors — from being the smallest in her litter to becoming the brightest part of our family. With your support, she can continue to make us smile and laugh with her nutty antics, pain-free and full of life.

Even the smallest contribution makes (will make) a difference. And If you're not able to give, sharing this campaign with others means (would mean) the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for helping Lina heal. We love her and want to give her the happy, healthy life every rescue puppy deserves.

With love and gratitude,

Mike, Ange, Ernie, and Lina
