Help bring Boss home to his Mum and human siblings 💚

Canterbury

Some of you will remember Boss from his younger days with the classic Staffy grin. He’s over 9 now, a little greyer around the face, but still full of that loyal heart.

I got Boss at just 8 weeks old.My kids don’t remember life without him.He’s been their protector, their comfort, their constant through everything life threw at us. 14 months ago, I left a 2 decade relationship with nothing but the clothes on my back. I couldn’t take Boss at the time. Now I’ve been told I have two weeks or he’ll be rehomed elsewhere. That’s not something I can live with.

I’m finally in a place where I can bring him home thanks to my amazing landlord,But he has requested I pay two weeks pet bond. With rent at $850 a week, that’s $1,700, and I’ll also need to get him a kennel, bedding, and essentials to make sure he’s comfortable & settled.

The photo you see is the most recent one of him — it was taken the first time I’d seen him in months but when he saw me his whole body wagged. He remembered me.

I am not someone who asks for help easily,especially not like this.But Boss is part of our family he is mine and my children’s world,& I’m simply not in a financial position to get him home within the timeframe.

He’s the thread that ties together the only version of home my children ever knew.

lf you can help, even a little, I’ll never forget it.

And neither will my kids & Boss.

If any money is raised above the amount this will go towards a vet check (been a while) and getting his vaccines upto date.

Boss is home!   9 August 2025

Boss is now home with me 💙👏 Thank You to everyone who has helped in one way or another.

I have reduced the amount now as I have been lucky enough to have been given a few things for Boss so I just need to cover the two weeks bond now.

Thanks so much everyone!
