Therapy/ service dog replacement pup/dog

$797 of $15,000 goal
Given by 14 generous donors in one year

I am fundraising for a replacement therapy/ service dog for my mother who has mutliple disabilities

Auckland

My mum Jo has multiple disabilities (neurological lupus, motor neuropathy affecting her legs, spasticity in her muscles, difficulty walking, problems with her hands etc) and her therapy dog needs to retire soon. We need to source a puppy and train up a new dog to take her current dogs place (although of course Zach has a home with her for the rest of his life). The new dog will be trained by an experienced therapy dog trainer who will teach him basic manners plus the tasks Jo needs to stay independent (walking with her in harness, picking things up for her, bringing her emergency medications etc). Jo has worked in domestic violence for years and it is time we give back to her.

Use of funds

Purchase and training of puppy/dog. If we don't raise the whole amount, the puppy will live with mum during the training stage rather than going to board and train with our trainer (which is the best option for many reasons).
