Give our sweet 5-year-old pug the chance to run and play again. Every donation and share brings her closer to a pain-free life!
Beach Haven, Auckland
Belle is a well-loved dog of the Enriquez family. I am helping my cousin, Charll, and his family raise funds for Belle’s surgery.
Five months ago, we found out that Belle is suffering from a torn cruciate ligament in her right leg, an ACL injury in dogs. It's a painful condition that's made it increasingly difficult for her to walk, and more recently, nearly impossible.
She needs a specialised TPLO procedure, costing $4,500 to $7,000. This unexpected financial burden is beyond the family's current means. Despite conservative management, her legs are deteriorating, and we're running out of time. Without treatment soon, the damage could be irreversible. We can't do this alone.
We've set up a Givealittle page to raise the full $7,000. But if we can achieve even $2,500, it would let the family cover nearly half the surgery with their savings. Additional funds will go towards her vital aftercare, medications, and rehabilitation.
Belle is only five years old and still has so many years ahead of her with us. She shouldn't live in constant pain. Your support can give her the chance to walk, run, play and move freely again without suffering.
Every donation goes directly to her surgery and recovery. Sharing this post or our page also brings us closer to helping Belle.

Any funds raised will be used to contribute to Belle's surgery, aftercare, medications, and rehab.
Update (2 of 2) 19 September 2025
We can’t thank you enough for the love and support you’ve shown. Because of your generosity, Belle was able to be properly diagnosed and start on treatment that has already changed her life. The funds covered her diagnosis ($2,000), specialist consultations, and her first and second rounds of medication ($600 + $294). Thanks to you, she’s had weeks of relief and comfort we hadn’t seen in months, and we’ve been able to see glimpses of our old girl again.
We’ll be keeping this page online until it closes on September 30th. Any further donations will go toward Belle’s next round of medication and exploring other ways to give her the strength and confidence to keep walking. Belle is still here, and she still has fight.
