Surgery for Knox
Donation protected
Dear Friends:
Many of you know our K9 partner, Knox. Over the past month Knox has developed difficulty walking and declining use of his back legs. After an MRI, it was discovered that he has a mass pressing on his spine. Unfortunately, without surgery doctors cannot be certain of what exactly this mass is. The condition has caused him to lose some mobility and be in considerable pain.
After having serving the community of Zion for two years, Knox will be retiring from the force. His handler, Officer Ogden, has decided to proceed for treatment for Knox out of his own pocket. Treatment includes the surgery and many months of rehabilitation totaling approximately $12,000.
The surgery has a high probability of relieving the pain Knox is in and improving his mobility.
To help ease the burden to Officer Ogden, we have set a fundraising goal of $10,000. Anything unused or over that amount will be donated to the Zion PD Canine program for the future teams.
If you can think of other ideas to help Knox, we would love to hear them.
Please take a moment right now to make a donation to help Knox. He has been an important part in keeping the Zion community safe.
