Can you help bring Pherren home - Fundraiser to help bring Pherren the American Staffordshire terrier puppy safely home to New Zealand.

Otago

Zeta Jordan is a lovely friend of mine who is one of New Zealands top American Staffordshire Terrier breeders. I have two of her adoring dogs.

When I heard the distressing story of one of her puppies in America I was compelled to help bring Pherren home.

Pherren is a beautiful 9 month old pedigree American Staffordshire Terrier bred here in New Zealand. He was flown to America in January 2021 to be a companion/working dog in his new forever home.

Sadly this took a dramatic turn of events.

His owner decided she no longer wanted him and threatened she would euthanize him if he wasn't rehomed which caused a lot of anxiety.

For fear of the puppy being euthanised or ending up in a kill shelter, Zeta purchased the puppy back from the owner and Pherren would stay with a professional trainer at a rescue sanctuary until he could return.

Unfortunately due to already spending thousands to save his life the breeder is battling to fund Pherrens travel costs back to New Zealand.

Update on Pherren!   18 October 2021

Hi everyone, here is an update on how Pherren is going.

Since August Pherren has travelled with his trainer/carer from the Rescue Ranch in California to Oregon through Washington State and on to Canada where he stayed for a week until a pet transporter could collect him. From the Canadian border he said goodbye to his trainer/carer, travelling by road 2500miles to Texas where he is currently residing and will continue to live there until he is able to return home in 2022.

Thank you all for your support.

Sarah
