With great sorrow I need to let everyone know that Holly the greyhound didnt pull through and has passed away this morning at Murdoch vet hospital. Lubjica and Hollys owners Don and Jean wanted me to let you all know as of course she is devastated. 
Thanks to all for your care, love and donations made. We will still have the vet bills to pay.
RIP BEAUTIFUL HOLLY

WE ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE VET BILLS TO COME IN BEFORE WE CLOSE THIS GO FUND ME TO BE SURE COSTS ARE MET . 
If we did get extra money, we will keep it in a fund for our many old people's dogs that POOPSWA Inc walk in Western Australia.

We will see further on in time whether we can help in any way further on if they would like another dog.
Thank goodness they don't have the bills on top of their sorrow.

Holly was a beautiful most gentle greyhound who was attacked by a large crossbreed dog which came out of its driveway and latched on to Hollys chest whilst being walked on a lead in Spearwood WA on Saturday 13th March 2021. 

Holly had massive gashes, a broken rib, puncture lung and  wound infections along with shock. She has had a couple of operations and fought hard for life.
She was being walked by our volunteer for Pets of Older Persons (POOPS)WA Inc and both the dog and volunteer were dragged across the road.
The money is still needed as the bills still have to be paid. The owners are pensioners which is why we volunteers help walk all our dogs and obviously this vet hospital stay had enormous bills. 
The estimated cost is $2500 for initial for the emergency care. The vet hospital has asked for a deposit of $4000  hospital stay and and she had an operation on her infections on Monday 22nd March. We dont know the costs yet of that operation yesterday or the costs involved for todays arrangements at this sad time.

Our wonderful volunteer has been requesting money from the large dog owner and the Cockburn Ranger is involved. We are still waiting on a decision from the Cockburn council as to how we can prevent this happening again at this property.  
If we did get extra money, we would keep it in a fund for our many old people's dogs that POOPSWA Inc walk in Western Australia. We are unsure of Hollys vet costs as its ongoing.
Our whole group of volunteers are so upset for Holly, her owners and our volunteers who walk her.
thank you

19/3/21-Update-Thank you - Holly came home but is fighting wound infections. She may need skin grafts if she gets through. She has started eating chicken broth.
Her owners and walkers are so thankful and relieved to get our help.
