Run so Wriggles can walk

Who remembers our beautiful little girl Wriggles who arrived to us paralyzed in her back legs in January?

Well we made the decision to give Wriggles every fighting chance to get back up on her legs in the hope that one day in the not to distant future Wriggles will not just walk again but run, play and live a fulfilled life.

She had her surgery at the end of January at Vet Specialist Ireland .

Surgery is often the easy part ...

Its the months of care and physio that come after it that take time, dedication and patience.

Her surgery cost us €5370 ...

A huge amount to a small rescue and charity like ourselves but Wriggles deserved a chance .

Two weeks ago our kennel managers daughter Katie who grew up in the sanctuary and now lives in the UK contacted us .

She wanted to help us find the cost of Wriggles surgery and had an idea.

Knowing that Wriggles was now facing the biggest challenge of her young life in learning to walk again ,also knowing the challenges we face as a rescue day in day out emotionally, physically and financially she was now going to face her own challenge for the cause.

Giving herself just a month of training, Katie will be running The Reading half marathon on Sunday 23rd March for Wriggles and her vet bill.

Her words of "Run so Wriggles can Walk" are her motivation and we are very grateful and proud of her .

Katie has set up a Go Fund Me in the link below and it would mean so much to Katie, Wriggles and all of us at Galway SPCA if you could please help by donating whatever you can ...

Every euro helps ,every euro shows us the kindness and empathy we know exists in a world that is so often shrouded in animal cruelty and neglect .

Please show your support for Katie so we can continue to support Wriggles on her journey ...

We will be cheering her on every step of the way, just as we will with Wriggles.

Thank You ❤️
