Shenzi's Surgery Appeal

✨💖TARGET REACHED 💖 ✨

Your kind words and donations have blown us away - thank you so much for your helping Shenzi live the life she deserves 🐾💕
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sweet Shenzi was the smallest of her litter, now she needs the most care.

Only weeks old, Shenzi and her siblings were found abandoned in a box on a remote property. Without the ability to even fend for themselves, they were luckily discovered in time and were soon in the care of RSPCA. 

The smallest of her litter, Shenzi sadly had an eye condition affecting her vision,  several paw deformities, and a painful fracture, causing the poor little pup to yelp and whimper on the slightest touch. X-rays confirmed she had a condition called syndactyly, causing fused toes in both of her hind paws and right front paw.

Shenzi's left hind paw was the worst with a fracture and fused bones. Often crying and yelping even with the lightest touch, our vet team decided a portion of her toe needed to be amputated to alleviate her immediate pain and discomfort. If left untreated, she would require ongoing long term pain medications to control her pain levels – Shenzi deserves better!

Please help cover the costs!

With ongoing monitoring of her paws and eye condition which will likely lead to further surgeries needed, we expect the care costs for Shenzi will pass $4,500.

Once abandoned and unwanted, please help us cover the costs and show Shenzi she is truly loved and wanted.

Shenzi is just one of the 336 shelter animals currently under vet care at RSPCA Victoria. As a community-funded organisation, we can’t shoulder the cost of these life-changing surgeries on our own – please help us give Shenzi the life she deserves.

Thank you for opening your heart to animals and contributing what you can to Shenzi's surgery fund.

*The goal for Shenzi's fundraiser includes the cost of her surgeries and other costs associated with her care. If funds raised in Shenzi's name exceed target, additional funds will contribute to the treatment, rehabilitation and rehoming of other animals in need.
