Where dogs with medical needs get a voice - and a second chance.
Stokes Valley, Lower Hutt
Meet Archie, an 8 year old German Shepherd who recently came into the care of Chance 4 Change.
Sadly, nothing could have prepared us for the condition Archie arrived in.
Severely malnourished and weighing just 22kg, Archie had prominent bones, extensive hair loss, a severe skin condition and an ear infection. His body was overwhelmed by infection, and further veterinary testing has raised concerns about possible kidney damage associated with his malnourishment.
Despite everything he's been through, Archie has the most beautiful, gentle personality. He absolutely adores people and has shown us nothing but love and trust.
Archie is now safe in foster care, receiving small, frequent meals, medicated baths, antibiotics, antifungals and steroids. He's already gained 1kg and has even started showing an interest in playing!
Unfortunately, Archie's veterinary bills have already reached $889.07, and we're only at the beginning of his recovery journey.
We're asking our wonderful community to help us give Archie the second chance he deserves. If you're in a position to donate, even just a few dollars, we would be incredibly grateful.
Every dollar raised will go towards Archie's veterinary care.
Archie has a long road ahead of him, but with your support, we can give this beautiful boy the opportunity to become the happy, healthy dog he deserves to be!
Chance 4 Change is a not-for-profit rescue based in Wellington. We give dogs from private surrenders and pounds a second chance at life. Through our network of foster carers and volunteers, we help each dog heal, grow, and find a loving forever home.
