Please help Archie.

Linkwater, Marlborough

My dog Archie, a miniature poodle has been very badly mauled by an American bulldog. By his injuries it looks like he was grabbed from behind and then held down while being bitten across his neck and shoulders. According to a witness, the big dog picked him up by the neck, shook him like a rag doll and threw him in the air. He was rushed to the vet where they worked on him and he now has a long line of stitches across his shoulders and neck as well as a drip and drains to the wounds. He is still at the vets.

We are so grateful to you for reading this and if you aren't able to help financially, please send this to any animal / dog lovers you may know. A few dollars from a lot of people would help with his vet's bill which is over $4,700k and counting. He may need further surgery later on.

Use of funds

Looking better!  28 May 2025

Another trip to the vet for a checkup. The 2nd lot of stitches is holding well and all going well, he'll get all stitches out next Tuesday! He's got a few wrinkles, but all in all, he's doing well. Thank you people for helping, either through here or direct to Springlands Vets.

Now I feel that people need to hear the full story. These 3 little dogs are never contained in their own property and constantly attack the bully breeds through the fence on a daily basis. On the Thursday the owner said to Ted please keep your dogs on your own property because one of these days the bully dog who is still a puppy is going to get hold of them. On the Sunday 2 of the little dogs came on to the bully dog property and he got hold of it. A natural instinct because these dogs attack him whenever they can. He didn't hit a single organ and could have easily killed the little dog if he had wanted. The whole time the little dogs owners were nowhere to be seen they didn't even know where their dogs were. They are very irresponsible dog owners. The poor bully dog was taken to the pound for protecting himself on his own property. So please think before you write nasty stupid comments about the big dog he's not to blame they are. If they had contained their dogs on their own property this would not have happened. Also to mention their dogs have bitten several neighbors including the bully breed owner they are nasty little dogs. If you don't believe me I can give you several names of the people that actually saw this happen. This page has been reported to give a little and to the police for fraud. Please don't give their vet bill is of their consequences maybe they will look after their dogs better.

My heart goes out to wee Archie, and Leslie and Ted. I'm disgusted with the behavior of the owners of this animal, who mauled Archie, and seem to have no remorse. I don't blame the animal, as the actions of it's owner just show, that it has had no socialising or training of any description.
