The $20,000 puppy
Help with the costs for saving Romeo. the Italian Greyhound.
Whangaparaoa, Auckland
I didn't see this one coming!
Romeo is an Italian Greyound who came to live with me after my 14 year old Georgio, also an Italian Greyhound, died of old age. It turns out Romeo has glass legs. He's a lovable psycho who was meant to be the fun cool friend I need as I age gracefully on the Hibiscus Coast.
Instead, he's now broken both his frontlegs and at my time in life, $14,000 is a massive ask. I've maxed out a credit card and need to look out for peope who can help me alleviate it all and join the Romeo fan club. His Uncle John has helped put this together and will be an early helper.
While insurance was in place at the time, it won't cover everything.
Use of funds
All funds raised will go to Romeo's medical costs.
Latest update
Romeo 12 October 2025
Corrective surgery has been recommended fir Romeo on his first leg break. However we are waiting 3-4 weeks for the 2nd leg break to heal more before taking more XRays of both legs before committing to corrective surgery as he isnt lane or appears to be in pain. Its hard keeping him contained as being a puppy he wants to run & jump. Overall he is making progress. Thank you all who have kindly donated 🐾🐾🐾💙
