Funds will help pay for Blue’s life-saving leg surgery and the care he needs to recover and live without pain.

Alexandra, Otago

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, but I’m asking for help.

This is Blue — my beautiful 4-year-old dog and my wee soul mate. He’s been by my side through everything, and he means the world to me.

Blue needs urgent leg surgery.

Blue has suffered a hyperextension injury to his wrist and requires a fusion of this joint.

My vet is:

L.E.Linney DVM

Senior Veterinarian

Vetlife Alexander

Unfortunately, it’s his only option. Without it, the only alternative is to put him to sleep — a thought I simply can’t bear. He’s still so young, full of life, love, and personality, and he deserves a chance.

The surgery is expensive, and despite doing everything I can, I can’t afford it on my own. I’m absolutely heartbroken to be in this position, but I’m asking if anyone is able to help — even a small donation would mean more than I can ever express.

If you can’t donate, sharing this would also help so much.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading, caring, and supporting us.

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.
