The BARK buddies are having a hard time and healthcare is expensive, please help us keep the boys in top shape so they can continue to work.

Nationwide

This year BARK Buddy Dyson has had two cruciate surgeries costing more than $10K (we have previously raised $7k towards this), now Ollie has undergone oral surgery and needs to be referred to a skin specialist.

Dyson, Django and Ollie are owned by BARK NZ director Heather Summers. She runs both BARK NZ and DOGabled NZ voluntarily and has done for 5 years so large, unexpected health issues are a big challenge but the boys need to keep working. Its difficult to be in a position of needing to ask but we know our awesome supporters would be willing to help if they knew support was needed.
