My dog Monty means the world to our family we can't put him down

Christchurch, Canterbury

Monty, our beautiful American Bullmastiff X, is only 2½ years old.

He’s the gentlest, most loving soul… the kind of dog who leans into you for cuddles, makes you laugh daily & becomes part of your heart.

We welcomed him into our family at 10 months old, & from that moment, he became our best friend.

But not long after, everything changed.

Monty developed a rash on his belly, & what followed was a long journey with six vets, countless appointments, tests & treatments. We finally have answers: severe food allergies.

These have caused painful ear infections, bacterial & yeast infections, hair loss & relentless itching. When it’s at its worst, Monty scratches until he bleeds.

Watching him suffer is heartbreaking. This happy boy just wants relief.

We’ve done everything we can, vet care, medicated treatments, ear drops & costly hypoallergenic food that’s finally helping. But the financial strain is overwhelming.

We are so close to getting him back to his happy self, we just need a little help to get there.

Even simple walks have changed, we go out in the evenings, quietly avoiding stares & judgement, while doing everything we can behind the scenes to help him heal.

Monty is still so young. He deserves a full, happy life, & we won’t give up on him.

If you’re able to help, even in the smallest way, it would mean everything to us. Every dollar goes toward his care, treatment & recovery.

Thank you for helping us fight for our beautiful boy ❤️🐾

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.
