Poor Barbara has been rushed to the vets for emergency surgery for Pyometra – a serious, life-threatening infection of the uterus that requires urgent treatment.
Like so many of the dogs who come into our care, this wasn’t something we could plan for. Medical emergencies like this have a huge impact on a small charity like ours. Whilst we will always make sure a dog receives the treatment they need, the cost of emergency care can quickly place enormous pressure on our finances. We need to be able to cover Barbara’s treatment while ensuring we can continue to meet any other emergency veterinary bills that arise for the dogs depending on us 
At this stage, we don’t yet know the full cost of Barbara’s treatment, but we do know it will be significant. Every donation made through this appeal will go directly towards Barbara’s veterinary care, with any additional funds helping us meet other emergency vet bills as they arise
If you are able to spare even a few pounds today, it really would make a difference. Every donation, no matter how small, helps ease the financial pressure and means we can continue saying “yes” when the next dog needs us most
If you aren’t in a position to donate, we completely understand. Sharing this post could help it reach someone who is able to help, and that support is also so valuable
