Simba has been part of our family for 6 years. He is the sweetest, happiest little dog who loves cuddles, playing and spending every moment with us and his best friend, our Pomeranian Naja.

Recently, Simba became very unwell. He started crying in pain, turning his head to one side and losing his balance. After specialist scans, we were given heartbreaking news: Simba has serious problems in his skull and spine that are putting pressure on his brain and spinal cord.

Without urgent surgery, Simba could become paralysed.

The scans and operation are expected to cost around £10,000. Our insurance has already reached its limit and can no longer help, so we are desperately trying to raise the money ourselves.

Simba has already been through so much in his life, including surgery and ongoing treatment for alopecia, but he never stops being loving, brave and full of joy.

We are asking from the bottom of our hearts: if you can donate anything at all, no matter how small, it could help save Simba and give him the chance to walk, play and stay with the family who loves him.

And if you cannot donate, please share Simba’s story.

Thank you so much for helping our beautiful boy.
