Raising funds for Winston's surgery

Waikato

Winston is a 5‑year‑old pound pup and a beautiful mix of Staffy and Greyhound. He’s the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet — gentle, affectionate, and happiest simply being by our side. Whether it’s curled up at home or out in the wild camping, Winston just loves being with his humans.

Sadly, our camping adventures have come to a sudden stop. Winston has been diagnosed with chronic cruciate ligament disease along with a meniscal tear. To give him a pain‑free, happy future, he urgently needs a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) surgery. Without this surgery, Winston will continue to live with pain and limited mobility. With it, he has a real chance to get back to the life he loves — walking comfortably, exploring nature, and sharing all those simple, joyful moments that make him Winnie.

We’re doing everything we can for him, but the cost of surgery and recovery is significant. Any support, big or small, will help us give Winston the second chance he deserves.

Please help us get Winnie back to the things he loves. ❤️

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.
