Help save Cinnamon, the sweet rescue!

I dream of having land & facilities to help rehabilitate, train & rehome rescued dogs, but for now it's helping one by one. Currently my focus is on healing Cinnamon.

I studied animal behaviour at uni, and worked with NZ’s leading animal psychologist for a number of years before heading down a different path. The universe has been nudging me to get back to animals. Early this year I saw a Facebook post about a lost & scared dog — petrified of everything — cars, dogs barking, being outside, strangers, & more. No microchip, no details, and no one has claimed her.

The lady who caught her said she’d help with her care & rehome. I said I'd take her train her & rebuild her confidence, but I couldn't afford vet bills at this point in time. Famous last words, because Cinnamon has developed significant medical challenges & the arrangement made to share costs has fallen away. No judgement, I just want to get her through.

Cinnamon is very happy, loved by all who meet her, but the vet bills have been rolling in. She's had a tail injury, now healed. Rounds of antibiotics, dressing etc. She needs spaying & has a serious nasal issue - could be a foreign body, a fungal infection, or ...? She needs specialist diagnostics/treatment at VSA - quote $6674.14 → $7188.32.

I can't manage that right now, so am reaching out to see if TOGETHER we can help this sweet girl live a long & happy life. If you are in a financial position to help I am grateful for any contributions.
