Canterbury

UP DATE.

Marlin needed his surgery asap we could not wait any longer. He had a Femoral Head and neck osteotomy, they removed the joint that sits in the hip. He will need on going physio for a few months each physio costs $150 for 1 hour. We are so close to paying off Marlins surgery. Thank you so much for everyone's kind donations and Marlin thanks everyone as well! So greatful for so many lovely people that have a heart of gold and loves animals as much as me, dogs are family too! 🥰🥰🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

My darling little Labrador puppy Marlin, was tragically hit by a truck at the river on Wednesday, he has had x-rays, scans, medication and I believed he would be ok, but now he needs surgery on his hip joint to stop his flesh deteriorating and causing damage and stopping the growth in the leg. I'm not careless I was in the process of pricing insurance but this happened first. Marlin is my whole world as the children's ... He's amazing . I've found over $2000 so far alone, and contributions from friends and family, but to save his life I need help. I hate doing this and never dreamt this would be me. But he's not my dog, he's my best friend , my children's best friend and to put him to sleep is going to break my heart. I'm facing this alone financially and all I ask is to share our plea, or donate even $5 please! Help me give Marlin the life he deserves . He's not even been in this world a year. And tragedy hit us .

Yes one in a million puppy. The best thing that has happened to me since my other dog Bonnie had to be PTS due to old age.

I love him so so much.
