You helped us save her leg, and now she's in her forever home. 

Thanks to your support and donations, Nala was able to get the specialty surgery she needed to avoid amputation and keep her leg. 

On Friday, Nala came in for her final check-up, and she was adopted the next day. 

Back in January, Nala was found abandoned and abused next to a trash can in a Las Vegas parking lot. She had a previously healed rib fracture and toe fracture, and her left front elbow was broken and needed immediate medical attention. 

Thank you for helping us give Nala the second chance she deserved.

Update on Nala's Recovery

Nala's surgery at Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center went great, and she is now in her foster home. She will need several weeks of rest and recovery so she can continue to heal.

At this time, she is not available for adoption.

Thank you all for your love and support!

Update on Nala!

Nala is headed to the Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center this afternoon for her surgery, and then she will go into a loving foster home.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated to her care. Because of you, she now has a chance at love and stability in a forever home.

Please Help Save Nala's Leg

Last night, three-month-old puppy Nala was found abandoned and abused next to a trash can in a Las Vegas parking lot. Neglected, injured, and thrown out like trash – poor Nala had no idea why this was happening to her.

Thankfully, a Good Samaritan found Nala and brought her to The Animal Foundation. Our veterinary services team quickly checked her over, gave her medication to ease her pain, and performed X-rays. Nala has a previously healed rib fracture and toe fracture. Her left front elbow is currently broken and needs immediate medical attention. Because her injuries are in different stages of healing, this innocent puppy has likely been repeatedly harmed in her short life.

Our team believes that Nala’s injuries were likely intentional and have reported her case to Animal Control for further investigation.

Nala needs to go to a specialist for expensive surgery to save her leg. In her short three months, little Nala has felt far too much pain. Your donation can ensure that Nala gets the medical care she needs and the second chance she deserves for a pain-free life full of love and attention.

We established our CARE Fund for animals who need special care in extreme circumstances. 100% of all donations go directly to medical care for animals like Nala who desperately need us. Become a CAREgiver for Nala by donating below.
