UPDATE: Mission Accomplished! The Entire Bill Has Been Fully Covered!

Hi everyone,
I am completely overwhelmed, humbled, and at a total loss for words.

When I woke up this morning, I discovered that your incredible momentum had pushed our total to $1,400 overnight. But the story doesn’t stop there. Today, we received a phone call from the North Island Veterinary Hospital informing us that a donor stepped forward and paid off the entire remaining balance of the bill!

The surgery is fully paid for.

I want to extend a HUGE, heartfelt thank you to absolutely everyone who took part in this.

Whether you donated a few dollars, shared the post, called the clinic, or sent positive thoughts—you made this miracle happen.

Yesterday, a local resident faced the worst day of his life, terrified he was going to lose his best friend. Today, because of your immense generosity, his dog is safe, recovering, and the crushing financial weight has been completely lifted from his shoulders.

Port McNeill, you have shown the absolute definition of community, mercy, and love.

Thank you for proving, once again, what a beautiful place this is to live.

We are entirely overwhelmed with gratitude.

With deepest thanks,

Alexandre Carroll

Update & Deep Gratitude: Surgery Successful & Over $1,000 Raised!

Hi everyone,

I am writing this with a heart full of gratitude and a massive sense of relief.

First, the best possible news: the life-saving surgery was a complete success, and she is officially out and recovering.

To give you an idea of how critical this situation was, the veterinarians informed me that her uterus and fallopian tubes had swollen to 30 times their normal size due to the severe infection. It was an absolute race against the clock. If our community hadn't stepped up and acted so quickly to get her into the North Island Veterinary Hospital, she simply would not have made it through the day.

Second, your response has been absolutely overwhelming. In just a few short hours, you have already raised over $1,000 directly at the clinic toward the bill. Seeing Port McNeill and our neighbors rally together to support a fellow resident and his best friend at their lowest moment is nothing short of incredible. Because of your kindness, nearly half of that heavy financial weight has already been lifted.

We are still accepting donations at the clinic in Port Hardy to help cover the remaining balance of the bill, but I wanted to take a moment to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to everyone who called in, shared the post, or sent kind words today.

You quite literally helped save a life and keep a family together.

With deep gratitude,

Urgent: Emergency Life-Saving Surgery Needed for a Local Dog

Hi everyone,

As your local Animal Control Officer, I see a lot of hard things, but yesterday I witnessed something that reminded me of the absolute best of human nature.

A local resident reached out in absolute despair, completely breaking down because his beloved dog is critically ill. He swallowed his pride, set aside his ego, and begged for help because he loves her fiercely, but he simply does not have the means to save her. She is suffering from pyometra, a severe, life-threatening uterine infection. We got her in for an emergency clinic visit yesterday, and this morning I dropped her off for the surgery she needs to survive.

The surgery is going to cost approximately $2,300.

I have committed to making sure this life-saving surgery happens no matter what, because this dog is this man’s absolute anchor, and I refuse to let her die when she can be saved.

Our community has already been so incredibly generous in stocking our shelter with beds, toys, and blankets. Today, I am asking if you can rally together with me to help offset this cost and support this emergency.

How you can help:

To ensure 100% transparency, please do not send any money to me or to the owner. If you are able to donate even a few dollars to help cover the surgery, please call the veterinary clinic directly today to pay onto the bill:

Clinic Name: North Island Veterinary Hospital (Port Hardy)
Phone Number: 250-949-6732
Account Name: Please ask to leave a donation under Alexandre Carroll or Port McNeill Animal Control for the emergency dog surgery.

Every single dollar goes straight to her medical bill. Thank you all for always showing so much heart for the animals in our town and helping me keep this family together. If you have any questions, you can reach me directly at the Animal Control line: 250-230-8804.

With deep gratitude,

Alexandre Carroll
