Help Me Get Bruce to Australia – My Best Mate, My Shadow 🐾✈️

Hey everyone,

As most of you know, Bruce isn’t just my dog—he’s my child, my best mate, and the one who’s been by my side through absolutely everything. We’re heading back to Australia together, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Leaving him behind simply isn’t an option—he is home to me.

I’m moving back to Australia to continue my work as a youth worker and to begin further study so I can keep building toward a life of service and support for others. I know this move is the right thing—for my career, my purpose, and the community I care about. But doing all of this on my own, especially in today’s economy, is seriously overwhelming.

Getting Bruce to Australia safely involves a mountain of costs: international pet flights, vet checks, crate travel, and paperwork that feels never-ending. On top of that, I’m also trying to cover the basic (but massive) expenses of starting fresh in a new country—housing, transport, everyday essentials—while also preparing for study.

I’ve been doing everything I can to make it work, but the truth is: I need a bit of help. And believe me when I say, asking for help like this does not come easy for me. If you know me, you know how hard it is for me to reach out like this—I wouldn’t be asking if there was any other way.

Every single dollar will go directly toward getting Bruce to Australia and helping us land on our feet. Whether you can donate or just share this with others, I’m truly grateful for your support.

With love,
Jodie & Bruce 🐶❤️
