Fund for Murray - Medical Expenses & Search Costs

Donation protected

http://www.facebook.com/FindMurray 


On Fri, 10/5, in NE DC, a man assaulted me, pulled Murray's collar off & chased him away from me. After 2 days of help from amazing volunteers & donors, we found him and he was reunited with my friends I was watching him for!


While Murray was lost, he was hit by a car. So there are significant expenses associated with his medical treatment- likely in the neighborhood of $5,500. Plus the cost of the search (flyer printing, scent tracker dog, etc.) added up to $1,065.27.  So the entire ordeal will likely end up costing more than $6,500.


Friendship Hospital for Animals has offered to cover the first $2,000 of his treatment expenses out of its Brudder Sullivan Fund! But we don't want to completely deplete the fund-- we want other pets to benefit from it!


Will you please help us cover Murray's expenses?  Anyone who has met him would tell you that he's suuuuuuch a sweet dog!


Any extra funds generated will be split between the Brudder Sullivan Fund and Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, the organization that Murray was adopted through (and also the group that provided many of the search volunteers).


ORIGINAL STORY:
On the morning of Friday, October 5th, I was walking my two dogs along with my friends' dog who I was dogsitting. A guy came along and as he was passing us on the sidewalk, yelled that Murray, my friends' dog, bit him. He grabbed Murray's leash, then Murray pulled out of his collar and the guy started chasing him down the street. 

After dropping my dogs inside my front door, I eventually caught up with the man, who had luckily not caught up with Murray, since he'd grabbed a long piece of metal trash he'd found on the sidewalk while in pursuit that he intended to use as a weapon on the dog. Once I caught up with him, he ended up assaulting me while screaming at me about the dog- dragging me around in the street by the arm and grabbing me in sexual places. I have filed a police report (and luckily the assault portion of the incident happened right near a police camera- plus he was stupid enough to leave the piece of metal with his fingerprints on it sitting on the ground so the police collected it as evidence). 

But I don't care that much about the police finding him--- I want to find Murray. Please please please do whatever you can to help him.
