My Kelpie / German Shepherd dog had an accident hours ago
Spartan is my family's dog — a young Kelpie–German Shepherd mix who's part of our everyday life, not just a pet in the house. He had an accident on Edithvale Road, coming out of the wetlands, and is currently in emergency veterinary care in Victoria. He's stable, but he now needs surgery on his paw to recover properly.
The costs: $4,000 in emergency care so far, plus another ~$8,000 for the surgery he needs. I don't have pet insurance, and I've already used every credit option available to me — I'm a single parent and money's been tight for a while, so there's no cushion for something like this.
If you're able to donate, even a small amount helps enormously. And if you can't, a share does just as much — it only takes a second and it might reach someone who can.
Thank you for reading this far, and for anything you can do for Spartan. 🙏 I apologise in advance if this is not the right time and place to post this. I am happy to provide further details to whoever wants to ask. I am just desperate...
