Amber my beautiful pointer

Hi, I'm Rob and many of you will have followed Amber and her pals on Facebook via my photography.

I'm fundraising for Amber as she has an aggressive tumour in her mouth, this along with her submandibular (neck) lymph nodes need to be removed ASAP. The biggest issue is Amber's not had a great year with her elbow dysplasia, a mast cell tumour and goodness knows what else, and then during her anaesthetic for the tumour punch biopsy she suffered a stroke. Thankfully, she's recovering really well and she's pretty much back to her old cheeky self! However, she's totally wiped out her £15k of insurance which doesn't renew until mid December. That's far too long for her to wait for this surgery.

A bit about Amber, she's an 8.5 year old English Pointer/Portuguese Pointer and she came to me at 11 months old via the wonderful pointersinneed.org.uk. By this age she'd already been starved and goodness knows what else as she was petrified of anyone going near her head. With love and support she quickly became a wonderful loving family member, she's the boss of the others and don't they know it! Always first in the queue for a cuddle or a treat, it amazes me that despite cruel treatment she still adores people.

It's crazy how expensive vet fees are these days, especially at referral centres, you think you're being sensible having pet insurance but it really doesn't go far!

I know times are difficult for many people, so things like this are a big ask - but if you can spare even a few pounds it would help so much. There's absolutely no pressure, but Amber and I would be eternally grateful! Not to mention, her absolute best pal Theo (another rescue), needs to makes sure she's around for as long as possible , otherwise who's he going to play football ⚽ with .
