Stitches remain but that won’t stop me!

Cancer is gone, stitches are temporary and Ollie wants to get back to work 🐾

Auckland

BARK Buddy Ollie has had two malignant melanomas removed and now he wants to get back to work.

He was so excited to return to Auckland and his volunteer role at BARK NZ, but things came to a screetching halt when we learned he had to have surgery after only a few weeks back supporting children with their dog safety learning.

We need to pull out all the stops to cover his surgery costs, and vet bills. Can you spare him some love, in the form of some much needs funds? We are looking for some kind donors to help us put this nightmare behind us and move forward with getting him back to work.

Donations to his give-a-little cause would be amazing, we can also provide donation receipts for tax claims.

We know you are all amazing, so do you have any other potentially fruitful ideas? Sponsor a school BARK visit in his honour? Prepay for a preschool visit? Make a donation kind of a product or service that we could raffle or put into a silent auction?

We would be grateful for any and all suggestions and support that will help get Ollie back doing what he loves 🥰
