Help Hannah & Mila After a Terrifying Dog Attack

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

What started as a normal walk turned into a frightening ordeal for Hannah and her beloved little dog, Mila.

While out walking, a pitbull cross suddenly came from behind Hannah and Mila and grabbed little Mila, violently ragdolling her. As Hannah desperately tried to pull Mila away and protect her, she was also bitten on the wrist.

The man grabbed his dog and quickly left the scene without giving Hannah any details. Kind passers-by rushed to help during the attack and even chased after him, but sadly they were unable to catch him. Hannah is incredibly grateful to the strangers who stepped in to help during such a terrifying moment.

Mila was rushed to the vet and has undergone a two-hour emergency surgery to treat her injuries. The road to recovery is just beginning and there may still be further treatment needed.

Hannah now faces the emotional stress of the attack along with the unexpected cost of emergency veterinary care.

Mila is a much-loved little dog who means the world to Hannah. We’re hoping the community can come together to support them during this incredibly difficult time.

Any donation, big or small, will go directly toward Mila’s vet and surgery costs and help give her the best chance at recovery.

Thank you for supporting Hannah and Mila as they recover from this traumatic event. 🐾

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
