Please donate to Zimba A Loving French Bulldog in Need of your help!

We never know what or whop will need our help and currently it is Zimba a loving French Bulldog.

Zimba is in need of a number of medical procedures and to donate to his operations, care and our work please go to https://giving.gg/donate/event/9679/Help-fund-Zimba-the-french-bulldogs-vet-care-and-support-the-animals-at-the-GSPCA

Seb Goman Senior Animal Care and Welfare Assistant at the GSPCA said “Zimba is an adorable 1-year and 3-month-old French Bulldog with a heart full of love and energy.”

“This little guy has a playful spirit, especially when it comes to chasing tennis balls, and he adores being around people.”

“Whether it's cuddling up on the couch or enjoying some one-on-one attention, Zimba thrives on affection and companionship.”

“Unfortunately, Zimba is facing some health challenges.”

“After a recent vet check-up, it was discovered that he requires several surgeries to improve his quality of life.”

“He needs a nasal correction, which cost hundreds of pounds, and his hind legs may require surgery as well as neutering.”

“We are reaching out to dog lovers and kind-hearted individuals who may be able to contribute towards Zimba’s medical care.”

“Your support will help this sweet boy live a happier, healthier life.”

“If you would like to contribute to Zimba’s surgery, please click the link https://giving.gg/donate/event/9679/Help-fund-Zimba-the-french-bulldogs-vet-care-and-support-the-animals-at-the-GSPCA call 257261, post to the GSPCA or pop into the Shelter.”

“Any help, big or small, will make a world of difference for him!”

“Thank you for considering giving Zimba a chance at a brighter future.”

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Zimba came into the GSPCA through no fault of his own and is an amazing little fella.”

“Sadly the vets have said that he needs nasal operation to help with his breathing and quality of life which often bulldogs need due to in or bad breeding.”

“This can be done at the same time as neutering and involves removing a wedge of tissue at each nostril, the cost depends on the amount of tissue that needs to be removed and so the time taken,  but with neutering could easily cost over £1000 just for the operation.”

“The vet has noted that Zimba has poor hindlimb conformation, and was concerned that he might have patella luxation.”

“The vets feel that it would be best the x-ray his hindlimbs first so they can assess what surgery might be needed and give an estimate for this, which is an additional cost and even with the kind discounts we receive from our vets all donations to help this amazing little dog would be really appreciated.”

“From adopting a dog to sponsoring those in our care through our Angel scheme via this leaflet http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf there are many ways to help our welfare work.”

“We are currently trying to build new Welfare and Isolation as part of our BIG BUILD.”.”
