Upset Doncaster dog owner launches funder to help pet dog walk again

Seven-month Chivas needs vital surgery

A devastated Doncaster dog owner has launched a £3,500 funding campaign to raise cash for vital surgery to help her beloved pet walk again.

Seven month old French bulldog Chivas needs spinal surgery to help correct his legs and to help him walk.

Owner Karina Bogusevica has launched a JustGiving page - which you can donate to here - https://shorturl.at/F36Uv to help pay for the surgery.

On the page, she said: “Please help save Chivas. My 7-month-old French Bulldog is my whole world — he’s all I have.

“Chivas is very sick.

“His back legs are collapsing, twisting, and every day he loses more control.

“It breaks my heart to see him like this. I would give him my own legs if I could, just to see him run again.

“Vets suspect spinal abnormalities or inflammation, and specialists say he urgently needs a CT scan and spinal surgery before it’s too late.

The total cost from the clinic is £3,359 for the CT scan and surgery, plus £125 for the initial consultation, which I have already paid.

“I have already paid £1,019 myself, but I simply can’t manage the rest alone.”

Karina, 28, originally from Latvia, has been living and working in the UK for nine years and is a full-time univerity student, working part-time to support herself.

She said: “Please, help me raise the remaining amount so that Chivas can get this life-saving treatment and walk again.

“ Any donation, big or small, will mean the world. Even sharing this campaign helps more than you can imagine.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
