Beau's Christmas Crisis! Emergency surgery on Boxing day.

As many of you know, our beloved Beau is a resilient and loving dog who came into our lives as a foster nearly two years ago.

He was found in Rotorua, where it’s believed he was one of a pack of failed pig dogs that were dumped in the bush to fend for themselves.

He had a rough start to life and was due to be euthanized at the pound, we couldn’t let that be the end of his story! We welcomed him into our home, and he's since blossomed into an affectionate, playful companion who brings so much joy to our whānau.

On the 23rd of December Beau became acutely unwell with persistent vomiting.

After two days of sedation, imaging, and bloods, on boxing day he required major abdominal surgery to remove a foreign body from his small intestine (a piece of a chew toy)

Our current combined total across after-hours vets and our own local vet is $7780.

Beau is recovering, but the financial impact of his emergency medical care has been overwhelming.

I'm currently unable to work due to injury, so our funds are limited, I find myself in the difficult position of asking for help—something I truly hate to do.

Every donation—no matter the amount, will help cover Beau’s medical bills and recovery costs going forward. We deeply appreciate your thoughts, prayers, your messages of love and encouragement you send. Your support, whether through donations or kind words, makes all the difference as Beau heals.
