❤ URGENT HELP NEEDED ❤
This is a massive appeal to all our supporters over the years, new supporters, friends, dog lovers, anyone who can help save a life.....
We have had one of our worst nightmares come true, a beautiful little puppy farm rescue who has been in rehabilitation to learn how to love the world has been rushed to emergency.....
Little Oakey is a tiny shell shocked Chihuahua, he came from a place that had a banning order, that had cruelty convictions in place, yet sadly remained unmonitored. We took Oakey in for rehabilitation, as this is what we specialise in, and the darling little boy over months and months has improved beyond sight. He is a cheeky, happy, sassy munchkin when doing the things he loves (running up and down the hallway, stealing socks, breaking into the cat food, hoarding anything he can find and secretly bringing it back to his bed) but very easily becomes overwhelmed and petrified and bolts and hides to escape what ever trigger he thinks is terrifying. Just this week he made new improvements by doing things he was never brave enough to do before, it filled us with joy to see him learn how to be braver bit by bit, day by day....
Right now Oakey is in critical care at the specialists, and as you can imagine its traumatic for him and all involved. A beautiful tender soul who is still learning to trust suddenly in pain surrounded by beeping machines and bright lights....it's gut wrenchingly unfair.... Oakey has sudden onset paralysis.
He has had to have an emergency Cat Scan to try to find the cause of why he suddenly can't use his back legs, he is with the best medical team who we are so grateful to, we know if he has a chance it is through them....
Unfortunately with the level of care that he requires and the diagnostics, and the time needed in order to determine the cause, and give him a fighting chance, the financial load is beyond what we can achieve without the help of our friends and supporters...
We desperately URGENTLY need to raise funds to give this tiny soul a chance at a life. He has been let down so badly in his 3 short years, we thought the last miracle he needed was to be removed from the puppy farm, we thought he'd never have to be at risk again, but now he's in a critical situation once again, and his life could be taken before it's even begun.
We need to raise $5000 asap to get him through, to get him critical care and enough time to try and work out why his body has suddenly failed. He's gone through so much in his life, he never gave up, and we will move heaven and earth to not give up on him....It's the very least he deserves. We can't let him down
If anyone has a few dollars to contribute to saving his life, we would be so grateful, the thought of not throwing everything we can at fixing him when he's been so brave to withstand everything he has is a devastating thought. If you can't contribute, please please share. The more reach we have with Oakey's plea the more chance he has to have his life saved.
