Shiloh needs your kindness urgently.
Dog in deep trouble! Shiloh has had complex orthopaedic surgery amounting to $3400.
Canterbury
Shiloh is a nine month old Samoyed pup. She had a charmed life with her adoring owner until 3 weeks ago when she hurt her hip badly. An accident occurred and someone fell on her.
Unfortunately she has sustained a very serious, complex hip fracture which can only be fixed with urgent surgery. The femoral head has been fractured in at least 3 places.
Her owner, a young, hard working woman, cannot afford to pay the surgery which has now amounted to $3400. The xrays have cleaned her out, but she would do anything to fix Shiloh. Regrettably she doesn’t have pet insurance. The surgery is needed urgently so Shiloh doesn’t have to suffer any more pain.
Can you help out just a little? It’s heartbreaking to see them both suffering so much. We would be ever so grateful for your contribution. Together we can fix this!

I am a friend and colleague. I’ve always loved animals and cannot contemplate dealing with this myself.
Use of funds
Funds will be spent directly on orthopaedic surgery performed by a specialist veterinarian. If there is a surplus it will be put toward her rehabilitation/hydrotherapy costs after the operation.
