Please help us to fund lymphoma treatment for our dog Hine

Waiheke Island, Auckland

Our dog Hine is a border collie x huntaway.

She loves; people, swimming, running, SUPping, cuddling, she is gentle with kids, birds, cats... We don't have any human child but she has been our child and she is our family.

She has been diagnosed with lymphoma and she needs to go through multiple scans, tests and chimo therapy for 16 weeks. It won't be an easy journey but we need to do this ASAP before the cancer spreads any further. It was a small lump less than a week ago and now it's a lot bigger and we are really concerned. She just had second chimo session this week.

The estimated total cost is around $8,000 and it could be more. We want to do our best for her and we always put some money on the side, but the total cost is a lot higher than we expected.

We love her so much and really want her to get better. She is only 6 years old and we want her to be part of our family for many years to come.

We don't prefer asking for donations, but reaching out as the situation is very desperate and stressful.

Your generosity will be greatly appreciated and will keep you updated on her progress.

Aroha nui,

Hine, Aya and Brad

PS: Update 18/01/2024

All the lumps went away after half way through the treatment but some lumps are back on her body. We are continuing the treatment but might have to change it. It will be a longer fight than we have expected.

Use of funds

Scans, tests, chimo therapy and other related vet bills

Thank you  21 February 2024

We are closing the donation end of the month.

We expected her initial 16 weeks treatment will make her better but she didn't make it. She tried, we tried but the cancer was too aggressive.

All the funds went to her treatment. We still have a few thousand dollars remaining to pay but this fundraiser has helped us a lot, not just financially but emotionally as well.

Thank you again. We appreciate all the love you have given us.

Aroha nui.

SO sorry to hear that Hine didn't make it, that is so very sad. I'm actually a cat person but love dogs too and I can imagine how heartbreaking this is for you, having farewelled many pets over the years. I hope this does a little something to help. You did your very best for her, thank you xxx When you said she 'went over the rainbow this morning', that finished me, I was a blubbering wreck ♥

Thank you so much for your support. We still have to pay quite a bit of dollars so your koha really helps us. She is no longer in uncomfortableness so we are hoping her to meet your old companion animals and oursxo
