Fundraising for Murray 🐾

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Hello, I'm Murray 🐶 and I have Poopy Stinkosis! 💩😷

Nooo, got that wrong...

I have Pulmonic Stenosis - severe category. 💔

This means part of my heart is too narrow and has to work much harder than it should. But there is a surgery that will cure me! It’s called a Balloon Valvuloplasty. ❤️

If I don't get the surgery, I’ll need to be calm... FOREVER!

Uh excuse me? 🤨

I'm a Jack Russell Terrier... My default setting is chaos 💥... What is calm? 🤣

It also means I won't celebrate many birthdays and I could have sudden death. 🪦

I need:

$450 for echocardiogram 1 day pre-surgery

$8500 for surgery

$450 for echocardiogram 3 months post-surgery

I also need to fly to Auckland and fly back to P. North. ✈️

Dr. Keaton Morgan from Veterinary Specialists Aotearoa will do the surgery.

He's clever! 🧠 (I'm cuter though 😜)

Once I’m cured, Morgan and Rachel from Very Important Paws 🐾 Chauffeur could be my pawrents - YAY! 🏠

It all depends on my senior-sister Ruby. 🧡

They've already paid $1500 😯 for my diagnostics!

For now, I'm being fostered by Māmā Mini's. 🩷🩶

Can you please help fix my achy breaky heart with a donation - $1, $10, $100???

If not $$$, please share here, there, everywhere!

THANK YOU

Love,

Murray 🐾

Your love and generosity means we hit $10K in less than a weekend!

This page will now be for costs during foster care e.g. food, vaccinations, council registration, and pre/post operative care e.g. travel, pre-anaesthetic blood test, and medication.

It'll also be used to reimburse Morgan and Rachel their $1500.
