Help our dog Willow get life saving heart surgery

Jack and I adopted Willow from a rescue centre in February. She had been picked up as a stray in poor condition, skeletal thin and had never had a real family or even lived in a house before. She became a part of our small family the minute we met and despite her history she has nothing but love and joy to give to everyone she meets. She's simply the sweetest girl with a complete lust for life.

Unfortunately she had a bad turn at the start of June and had to spend 3 days in doggy ICU at the animal hospital. We nearly lost her.

She has been diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome- a rare heart condition for a dog and something no one could have foreseen. It's currently being controlled with medication but there is the risk that it can stop working. She's been recommended for a specialist surgery which will effectively cure her condition and allow her to live a normal life but as it's only performed by 5 surgeons in the world it comes with a hefty price tag (£9,000) that her insurance won't cover.

We're aware of how much it is and have never started a gofund me before.

As cliché as it is though, she's my best friend, my shadow and an absolute sweetheart. She deserves the best life and the best chance we can give her. Thank you.
