Let's help Kurtis get back to running free from pain

International

Kurtis 🐕 is our friends baby boy, our friend and a friendly member of our Devonport community. His energy is boundless, and the thing he loves most is chasing sticks (anywhere) but without surgery he won't be able to do this. If you are a local in Devonport you will know his sweet little face from Vondel.

I read a quote recently that said, ‘If people had hearts like dogs, the world would be full of love, loyalty, and head tilting – lots of head tilting.’ If you’re a dog-lover, I imagine you’re smiling at these words just as I did.

Unfortunately Kurtis has ruptured his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and pet insurance won't cover his injury due to a stupid stand down period of 90 days 🙄

The vet explained that he really needs this surgery to be able to run freely again, be free of pain and to not increase the damage that has already happened.

Sam would never ask for money so I am asking for him!!

I am hoping that there are kind dog lovers who will help with some of these costs. Every dollar will help!!

If you are able to, please find it in your heart to donate to our campaign! Every dollar we receive will go directly to Kurtis' surgery.

Thank you for taking the time to help us out.

We did it!!!  1 August 2023

Thank you so much to everyone who donated!! We appreciate you so much 🐶 we will receive the funds mid August as they only do payments once a month, but this now means Sam can organize an operation date with the vet and we can get the ball rolling 😁 It definitely takes a village..thank you again from the bottom of our hearts xx
