Please help our beautiful Penny on her road to recovery

We are hoping to raise some funds to help pay for Penny’s surgery.

Silverdale, Auckland

Last night our beautiful Penny was walking with her dad when she was hit by a car. The driver however continued to drive off. Our beautiful girl, yelping in immense pain and debilitated by the injuries and trauma, was inconsolable. My husband was finally able to get her in the car and rushed her to an after hours vet in Albany where thankfully they administered pain relief and began assessment. We found out today she has several fractures on her pelvis and a dislocated hip. As I write this she is still being closely monitored to make sure there’s no internal bleeding. She will have surgery tomorrow and probably a lengthy recovery. Our three young children miss their doggie and we just hope she can fully recover from this.

Penny’s back to walking   19 January 2024

Hi guys, just wanted to share a photo of Penny doing what she enjoys the most- going on walks. She’s been taking it easy. At this stage we have been given the green light to go for 5 min walks but gradually increasing as time goes on.

Thanks for everyone’s well wishes for our little P x

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.
