Fundraising for 2 cruciate ligament operations for my dog.

Waiuku, Auckland

Willow is my best friend and she is struggling. She is only 5 and loves to run. We have spent hours in Waiuku forest just exploring. Unfortunately our adventures have taken their toll and now she is struggling to walk. She can currently only use 3 legs. Seeing her struggle is breaking me.

Willow will need 2 cruciate ligament operations (one on each knee), they will be 1 month apart. Her first operation is scheduled for 4 October. Each operation has been quoted at $4000-$5000 and that is a shocking amount of money to find in one month.

The vet does expect a full recovery and I will be getting the operations done, that is not negotiable. I won't let my girl suffer. I just don't know how I can afford it. I will need help making ends meet for a couple of months afterwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please help me get my baby girl back to her adventurous best, my girl needs to explore!
