On Sunday, our absolutely adored family dog, Fred, became very unwell.

Despite being in veterinary care, he is still in a critical condition.

Fred is insured, but I have already exceeded the maximum payment allowance for his treatment.

Fred desperately needs to continue life-saving treatment at the vet hospital.

As a family we are absolutely begging you, from the bottom of our hearts, to donate what you can, please.

Fred was welcomed into our home in October 2020. It was lockdown and my children had been begging me for years to get a dog!

After a lot of consideration and research Fred was the chosen puppy. A cute bundle of fluff, just 8 weeks old he stood out with a gorgeous heart shaped nose!

Fred filled our hearts with love the minute we set eyes on him.

He has been such an important part of the family ever since, not only taking us on beautiful walks but providing us all with emotional support when we need it.

Fred is my ‘constant’. As my children come and go Fred is always there with a wagging tail and a lick ready for a snuggle, especially when I am feeling unwell.

It has absolutely broken my heart these past few days to not have him by my side.

We all desperately need Fred home, my children miss his dearly and our home and hearts feel empty without him.
