Last night, 4/11, I had come home to find our 6 year old GSP Jax had been shot in the throat. Originally upon seeing him & his wounds we believed he has been attacked by a wild animal but after rushing him to an ER vet X-rays confirmed that he had been shot.

Jax is currently stable at UGA but he is not doing good. He’s got severe trachea damage, and his trachea is so swollen he can only breathe thru the bullet wounds. They are about to preform a tracheostomy to put a temporary tube in but depending on the extent of his damage he could need a permanent tube, permanent feeding tube, life long care. They are currently quoting between 6k-8k but depending on how he does the next few days that number could go up. Any money raised past what is needed for his UGA bills will go towards his extensive aftercare.

Jax is the sweetest & goofiest boy you will ever meet. He absolutely did not deserve to be shot in the face. Anything will help but no matter what I will find a way because that is what he deserves.
