NZ Search and Rescue Dog needs help with vet bills

Kawarau Falls, Otago

Rudi is an avalanche search and rescue dog. He helps save lives, with his handler/ Dad Blair. 3 weeks ago, Rudi had an accident while he was at the river with his dad. He fell down a riverbank (rocks slippery with didymo) and a sharp stick lodged in his eye. He's currently on anti-inflammatory medications and pain killers, and it's a "wait and see" while our dear Rudi recovers. We hope the outcome will be positive, and time will tell.... in the meantime; Rudi needs help to pay for his vet bills. If kind donations exceed the vet bills, the balance will be donated to Search and Rescue Dogs Avalanche Inc - a registered charity (CC61298).
