Hi… my name is Thor

I know I look big and strong, but really… I’m just a gentle soul who loves cuddles, zoomies, and being close to my mum.

But here’s the thing… even though I don’t show it, I’m in pain every day.

I have hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis, and my x-rays showed that the ligament in my left back leg is torn. The vets said that without TPLO surgery, I will never be able to walk properly again.

Right now, I’m only allowed about 10 minutes of walking a day.

After that… I have to stop.

I haven’t been allowed to run in over a year, apart from the odd time my mum has taken me to the secure dog field, but then I limp afterwards, so the field trips had to stop altogether.

My mum does everything she can at home. She gives me enrichment, mental stimulation, and things to keep my mind busy and comfortable… and it helps in its own way.

But it’s not the same as being able to run.

I don’t just want to stay still and think…

I want to move.

I want to play.

I want to feel free in my body again.

Being this restricted is starting to affect me not just physically, but mentally too. I get bored, frustrated, and I miss the life I used to have.

Last year, we raised £1300 (thank you so much to everyone who helped me ), which went towards hydrotherapy, supplements, and pain relief to help maintain my mobility.

It helped me for a while, and I’m so grateful…

…but I still need this surgery to truly get my life back.

My mum can’t afford the surgery herself. She’s not working right now because of her own chronic illness and health issues. So we are asking for help to give me the life I need because I deserve to run and play again.

Without this surgery, my condition will continue to worsen and affect how I live every single day.

So here we are… trying again.

We know times are hard, and we don’t expect anything for nothing. Even £1 could help me get closer to the life I miss so much.

If you can’t donate, sharing my story means the world to us ♥️

Where the funds will go:

• TPLO surgery on my left back leg

• X-rays and follow-up appointments

• Medications and pain relief during recovery

• Mental stimulation and enrichment toys to keep me happy and calm while I heal

Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you for seeing me for who I really am.

With love, licks, and hope

Thor
