Just need a little helping hand getting my bestie through chemo and amputation from bone cancer 🥺❤️

Christchurch, Canterbury

Help me help my wee sidekick beat bone cancer 🐾

Hi, I’m Chantelle — and this is my baby Andrew. If you’ve ever visited me, you’ve probably met him. He greets clients like old friends, sleeps next to me while I work, and has been a comforting wee presence for so many people.

Recently, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer), and it’s breaking my heart. He needs his leg amputated, followed by chemotherapy, as well as ongoing pain relief and testing. It’s a big battle ahead — and while we do have insurance, it won’t cover everything.

I’m doing everything I can, but I could really use a little help. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or just a kind word — it all means the world right now. I just want to give him the best chance to keep being the gentle, loving soul that he is 🐶

Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and paws). 💕

I eat now!!   11 June 2025

Hello everyone!!

I’m on day 5 of eating my dog food out of my bowl twice a day!

My wound on my amputation line is almost healed!! Thank goodness cause I’m sick of mum changing it and cleaning it all the time.

And yesterday I played with a toy for the first time in 5 weeks!! I got a bit excited though and lost my balance and gave myself a fright so then needed a 5 hour nap to recover!

I made one of my funny noises today and made everyone laugh, mum thought I would never do it again and she was so happy!

I have round 2 of chemo tomorrow and hopefully I won’t feel too sicky!!

Thank you so so much for helping mum and dad pay for my vet bills ❤️❤️
