Help Hooch walk and run again

Takaka, Tasman

We got our beloved dog as a puppy just over 3 years' ago from the animal shelter The Last Lampost. They had the most applications ever for this beautiful blue-eyed 'French Mastiff cross' who loves to sing and swim and is the most affectionate dog we have ever owned. He has so much personality and brings us endless joy. But he damaged his back leg jumping and needs cruciate ligament surgery. At first we thought it would be about NZ$2.5K but if we don't want it to happen again and given that he is so young, we need to have a more permanent solution which is either $4.5K or $5.5K - way more expensive than we anticipated. Any assistance would be very gratefully received and we will find the money to top up the difference. Unfortunately I am only working part0time and my husband's job has been decimated by the absence of arts funding for the events industry. It breaks our heart to see our dog in pain and limping, staring wistfully out the window. Please help.

Use of funds

All funds will raised will go to the vet undertaking the surgery which is estimated to be around NZ$5500

Latest update

Just a few days away now  14 February 2025

So, Hooch is just days away from the Big Op. We have purchased a crate for him to stay in afterwards so that he doesn't walk around. We also bought an orthopaedic mattress and lot of bone broth, green lip mussel extract with glucosamine and chondroitin. It is very daunting what we have to go through for the next few weeks but we are buoyed by the support we have received. Thank you all so much.
