Help Nebula Get Back on Her Paws

This is incredibly difficult to share, but my beloved girl Nebula needs your help. She was just diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament in her left knee that requires Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery. The injury is due to ligament degeneration, which means it will only get worse without surgical intervention.

About Nebula

Nebula is my 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog x Catahoula Cur mix. She's a double Merle, which makes her Deaf, but don't let that fool you—she's absolutely full of life! Her high energy and love for both people and dogs bring joy to everyone she meets.

The Challenge

The total cost for Nebula's TPLO surgery is $4,480. Her procedure is scheduled for this Thursday, June 26th, from 7 AM to 5 PM - a long day that will hopefully give her many more years of pain-free movement. Nebula's recovery would take her 6-8 weeks.

I've already paid my CareCredit to cover the surgery, which gives me 18 months to pay it off. However, every dollar donated goes directly toward reducing this overwhelming debt and helps ensure I can focus on Nebula's recovery rather than financial stress.

Why This Matters

Without this surgery, Nebula will be in increasing pain and lose mobility. She's only 6 years old and has so many good years ahead of her. In addition, your support to Deaf Dogs would 100% matter. This procedure will restore her quality of life and allow her to continue being the energetic, loving companion she's always been.

How You Can Help

Any donation helps- whether $5 or $50- gets us closer to covering these costs and giving Nebula the treatment she deserves. If you can't donate, sharing this post with others who might be able to help would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read Nebula's story. Your kindness and support during this difficult time means everything to us.
