Help Anini get Surgery with plate for broken bones in leg — Kapaa, HI

Anini was owned by a homeless women here in Hawaii. She was turned over to the humane society at just 2 months old. I saw her and knew she was meant to be a best friend to kipukai, my other dog who was 5 at the time. She comes with me to the office, becoming a therapy dog with children. She has become a vital part of our family and asks for nothing in return but love and kisses.

Anini jumped from the open window, falling 10-15 feet. On impact she broke her leg, three bones . The diagnosis is surgery to put a plate in to heal the bones. If she doesn’t get the surgery she will likely lose her leg. Three legged dogs are great but she has a hip and knee joint problem, causing instability. Kapaa Veterinary Clinic took X-rays and the estimate for surgery is $8000.

Anini is best friends with her older brother kipukai 11 and they are active in my mental health therapy office. She is important to our family but also to the children that come to therapy as it keeps them at ease. She is keeping kipukai active and happy as they love to run and swim at the beach together. Kipukai misses his friend and wants to run and play again soon. We miss her joyful attitude.

I am just starting my business solo and have little capital. It is very expensive to live in Hawaii and the cost of the surgery will leave us in a dire financial situation. Any support from other dog lovers is appreciated.
