£205.00raised of £2,275.00 goal goal
I can't believe I'm actually writing this but on the 1st May 2017 our beautiful Taco lost his fight and went to sleep.
He was hit by a car last Monday and had fought so hard to recover including going through multiple tests and even surgery to fix his broken jaw but a week on and his bruised little lungs just weren't coping. The staff at both Acorn and Leahurst were fantastic and did all they could for him.
He'd been through so much in his short little life and he just didn't deserve to go like this. He brought us so much joy in the two years since we adopted him with his cheeky personality, sheer enthusiasm and love.
The house is way too quiet without you
