Help Tala Walk Without Pain – She Deserves a Second chance
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
My name is zoe, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help in saving our beloved girl, Tala.
Tala is only just over 2 years old, but her life so far has been anything but easy. We rescued her as a puppy from a cold, wet hut on a farm, where she and her siblings were left to survive in awful conditions. Despite her difficult start, Tala has blossomed into the most gentle, affectionate, and loving dog you could ever meet. She’s a Caucasian Shepherd cross German Shepherd—a big friendly giant with a heart even bigger than her paws.
A few months ago, we faced the devastating news that Tala had a cancerous lump on her side. We did everything we could to get it removed in time, and she pulled through like the little warrior she is. But now, we’ve been hit with yet another heartbreaking diagnosis: Tala needs a total right hip replacement.
Watching her struggle is unbearable. She wants to run, to play with her doggy friends, to simply enjoy the young life she has—but pain stops her every time. This surgery would mean she could live without pain, without limping, and without the sadness in her eyes we’ve seen more and more lately.
We wish we could rely on insurance to help with these costs, but heartbreakingly, we can’t. Due to a previous vet falsifying parts of her medical records, our insurance was voided, and we were left without coverage. We’ve tried everything to contest it, but to no avail. It’s been a devastating blow on top of everything else.
The cost of the surgery is £7,500—an amount we simply can’t afford on our own. We’re doing everything we can, but we’ve hit a wall. That’s why we’re turning to the kindness of others and asking for help. Every single penny raised will go directly towards Tala’s hip replacement surgery and follow-up care.
Tala’s been through so much in her short life, and we just want to give her the chance to run freely again—without pain, without struggle, just joy.
If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it means the world to us. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing Tala’s story.
Every step she takes is one step closer to hope.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.
