One good turn deserves another. Let's help repay Phillip for all his good deeds over the years, so he and Luna can enjoy life again.
Auckland
Hi there
My name is Ruth and I live in Auckland. I have started this Give-A-Little page to help raise funds for my 25 year old son, Phillip and his lovely dog Luna.
Phillip took on Luna 7 months ago when her original owner could no longer have her. He then got her spayed and chipped and provided a loving home.
Luna is a 2 year old Blue American Staffordshire. Last week, while out playing and running with her friends, Luna ruptured her left hind ACL - Anterior Cruciate Ligament (a ligament across the knee joint) more correctly known as CCL in animals - Cranial Cruciate Ligament. The vet surgeon has advised Luna needs surgery within 4 weeks to repair this which will cost around $3,500.00 - $4,500.00
Phillip didn't have pet insurance (although he does now, just in case of a next time) and despite working hard and long hours, he doesn't have that kind of money readily available to give to the surgeon.
Phillip is passionate about animals and their welfare and donates to the SPCA, Give-A-Little and rides with Paws For Justice, annually.
I think it would be really awesome if we give a little back to this generous, warm-hearted, hard-working, young man, to help with Luna's expenses.
The money will go towards Luna's surgery. Any surplus will be donated as evenly as possible across animal welfare groups.
Luna's Progress 18 May 2018
Hi all
Luna had her stitches out on Wednesday. :) The vet is very happy with her progress. She is able to be a lot more active now too which is great. :)
Thanks everyone.
Thank you so much for your donation! How is your staffy going? Hope recovery is going well. Any advice would be gratefully accepted. Luna has surgery tomorrow so will update the page Thursday when we get her home.
Your message will be displayed on the page and emailed to the donor.
Your new message will also be emailed to the donor.
