Help Gumboot get his mojo back

"Hi there

My name is Gumboot (people call me Boot or Booty) and I have been to the vet a lot recently for having very sore legs.

At first, they thought I had Dysplasia. Oh no. That isn't really fixable I thought, but I got some good meds for a few days and I felt a bit better.

Until I didn't.

Dad took me back to the vet. We got lots of X-rays and then the vet discovered that she thought I had two ruptured cruciate. I've really done it this time.

I went to the specialist vet who confirmed yes. I need both of my cruciate operated on.

Mum and Dad nearly fainted. This is going to cost them close to 9,000.

For now I have some good meds, but I am trying to get some help for Mum and Dad to pay for this as my insurance will not cover more than $600 for this surgery.

They can't stand to lose me as I really am a brother for their little daughter and everyone who meets me loves me to pieces.

Chances are if you walk on the beach in Orewa or Stanmore Bay I would have seen you and if your pup likes to play I have probably played with them too. I love all dogs and all people.

If you can help even a little bit, it would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks,"
