Story
Beesley is no ordinary dog despite what you may think. Over the last 9 years he has been a constant companion to his owner Suzanne, who suffers with various mental and physical health issues. During that time Beesley has helped his owner through very dark times and provided a source of happiness, companionship and reliability through the turbulent times of Suzanne's life.
Unfortunately Beesley has also suffered with ill health over the years such as skin allergies and a canine version of IBS, however is now facing a much harder fight. While always being an active dog (more like a 9 year old puppy really!) his hips have started to wear out and require urgent surgery. As I'm sure you are aware the vets bills for these 2 procedures are astronomical but there is no other option but to have his hip replaced on his left leg and the right leg strengthened.
Unfortunately pet insurance will over cover a fraction of the £7400 costs involved for him to receive the medical attention he requires. Without these operations Beesley could be left paralysed or result in an even worse outcome.
At present we have already managed to scrape together £3900 of the required fees in order for Beesley to receive the treatment he requires however are struggling to raise the remainder of the costs needed. This is where you are his last hope.
We are looking to crowdfunding to raise the shortfall in order to allow Beesley a full and active life as well as providing his owner, Suzanne, with her companion who has helped her through her troubles and health issues.
We appreciate times are tough for us all however would appreciate any donation, no matter how small. Once we have reached our target of £3500 and booked Beesley in for his operations we will provide a link to a Facebook and Twitter account where, if you wish, you can follow Beesley on his road to recovery and beyond.

7 years agoHi everyone - Well after our last updates where we had to break the news that we ran out of time, the days are slowly reducing - Due to Beesleys' continuing health issues, we have now booked a one way ticket to Rainbow Bridge for Wednesday 21st June - This allows his friends and family time to see him and say goodbye but without putting him through any suffering. We had a run out to the beach with him over the bank holiday, where he still had lots of fun, despite it tiring him out very quickly and then having to rest up on the Bank Holiday.

We are hoping to get him through his 10th birthday in June so we can spend as much time as we can with him but now know his life is drawing to a close 😭 We really do appreciate everything that everyone has done and cannot thank you enough however we cannot let our special man suffer unnecessarily so have had to make this heart breaking decision 😢

7 years agoHi everyone. Here's an update on our beloved Beesley however unfortunately we have to be the bearers of bad news. Beesley visited the vet again today and unfortunately the arthritis has now spread to the base of his spine 😢 This means that the hip surgery would now no longer work. Unfortunately we have run out of time and all we can do is provide palliative care for him until the time comes where he can no longer enjoy a full and active life. We will use any funds to do this but any remainder we will donate to other doggies in distress 😔
