Help me bring my pets home to New Zealand

Hi, my name is Shannise and I’m looking to raise funds to help bring my three pets home to New Zealand.

I am a kiwi who has lived alone in the USA for 13 years. I have 5 younger siblings and a mother who I miss dearly and long to get home to, however the one thing preventing me from returning has been the sheer cost of bringing my pets with me. The total cost of pet relocation to a country like New Zealand is astronomical. By working as a dog groomer and painting animal portraits on the side, I’ve managed to save enough money to get them halfway home - from the US to the UK - but I need help to complete the final leg of the journey.

It’s extremely challenging to have to ask for help, but I can’t face the choice between leaving my pets behind or not being able to get home to NZ again. Your donations would help me get one step closer to my goal of being reunited with my family on home soil with the three animals that have been my faithful companions for the past 11 years. I cannot bear to leave them behind. Those of you who have loved, and been loved by an animal will understand the impossibility of a decision like this.

The total costs of bringing my pets back to NZ is close to £10,000. I’ve started this fundraiser at £3,000 just to help offset the money I won’t be able to save in time. Your donations, no matter how big or small, would help by going towards quarantine fees, vet checks, titre tests and health certificates. They would go towards me and my little loves finally being home, together.

If you can’t donate, please help by sharing, and give your pets a kiss from me. ❤️
