Help Peanut Walk, Run & Live Pain-Free Again Before Meeting Her Human Baby Brother ❤️🐾

Our beautiful 8 yr old Staffy cross, our first baby and one of the biggest pieces of our hearts. Peanut has given us nothing but unconditional love for 8yrs, cuddles and happiness. She's been our baby long before we ever imagined becoming parents ourselves.

Sadly, our hearts are breaking after learning that she has multiple serious orthopaedic conditions, including a completely ruptured ligament in her left knee, severe hip dysplasia in both hips, arthritis and spinal degeneration. Even her right knee is showing early signs of possible damage.

Our specialist has recommended TPLO surgery to stabilise her knee and help her walk comfortably again. The estimated cost is $7,950–$8,200 NZD incl treatment and rehab. Unfortunately, we've exhausted our pet insurance coverage.

To make this even harder, we're expecting our first human baby in Jan 2027. While we should be enjoying this exciting chapter, we're carrying the heartbreak and worry of knowing our first baby is hurting. We dream of bringing our newborn home to a happy, healthy Peanut. We desperately want to get Peanut her surgery before our baby arrives, but we cannot do it alone.

Our goal is $8,200 NZD. Whether you can give $5, $10 or simply share our story, every little bit means the world. Please help us give our first baby the chance she deserves. ❤️🐾
