Help Rocky's recovery costs: support needed after tragic Myers Park incident

Less than one week after our beloved Sammy, a 3-year-old Cavoodle passed away from lymphoma cancer, our gorgeous Rocky, a 1-year-old Cavoodle went for a walk in Myers Park and unbelievably ingested amphetamines. It is suspected the source of this could have been vomit in the park.

Rocky was critically ill and had to hospitalised at ARC Freemans Bay emergency care for 4 days. Our total vet bills over the last month for both dogs has been well over $18,000 and unfortunately, we didn't have pet insurance.

We have reached out to the Auckland Central MP's office, the Waitemata Local Board and the Auckland Council to highlight the dangers of hazardous substances in and around a children's playground and next to a kindergarten. Hopefully together as a community we can find solutions to avoid animals and children being at risk.

Any assistance towards covering Rocky’s vet bills would be immensely appreciated.
