This page aims to fundraise for Odin the German shepherd so his owners can afford his ongoing vet bills

Canterbury

Odin is 6yr old very friendly and gentle pure-bred black and tan German shepherd whose digestive health has declined. He has developed an auto-immune disease, which has caused ulcers to form along his large intestine to his anus and with all the rising costs, even after pet insurance, Odin’s owners are really struggling financially to adequately sooth the inflammation and pain caused by the ulcers. His full treatment will cost $900 a month and Odin needs a different diet to help reduce inflammation. He will require meds for the rest of his life and can live happily with adequate treatment.

Abby Johnson's involvement (page creator)

I’m a former neighbour and friend of Josh’s. Josh’s dream was to own a German shepherd and 6 years ago, he got Odin. Josh and his wife Catherine have been through unimaginable trauma over the last few years and Odin has been a big part of their healing.

Hi everyone.

Odin has made good progress. He is more able to pass stool again. Vet reckons ot may take 4 months of medication to get his condition managed well, and then from there we will reasses.

Thank you all again from my heart for the kindness and charity I've been shown.
