Please help Shaela fight cancer and live her last 4months, (hopefully more), happy and comfortable with her mum, clients and friends 🙏 ❤️

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Shaela's 1st owners abused her and abandoned her at New Plymouth Pound. I met her when she was 3 days away from being put to sleep. The vet removed 8 pellets from her legs, and her tummy showed multiple cigarette burns, she was afraid of anything held by a human and terrified of particular males. Shaela was also involved in a car crash in 2022, leaving her with bruises and nightmares.. Often crying in her sleep since that accident. Now diagnosed with Cancer she has been through 2 surgeries and months of medication, with 15 weeks of Chemo coming up, potentially followed by ongoing treatments if her body reacts well to the first round.

We have been told 4months left to live, in her current state, but with treatment she may get another 6months on top & remain happy and comfortable during that time. Despite all her struggles and the pain humans have inflicted on her she has remained loyal, kind, gentle and playful. Shaela is always so excited when a client visits the salon always wanting to be included and soaking up all the love and affection that my clients offer.

Please help me give her more time to enjoy all her favorites and to ease my stress while dealing with the pain of letting go of the best support and love ive ever had.

Shaela is my Bestfriend, her unconditional love has helped me through so much pain and without her by my side I don't know where I would be today. I owe it to her to try.
