Funds to cover emergency vet costs

Brockville, Dunedin

On Saturday 9 May 2026, our beloved 11 year old greyhound suddenly fell critically ill, resulting in an after hours emergency vet visit. Sadly after several hours there of trying everything they could, they were unable to save him. The after hours service, plus costs of trying to analyze the possible cause added up fairly quickly.

Use of funds

to cover the higher consult fees for treatments to try save him, and the cost having him put to sleep, along with having keep sakes returned to us.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
