vet care for Duchess

On saturday the 28th, just days after thanksgiving a dog lovers worst nightmare occurred. Our beloved 8 year old Boxer, Duchess was outside by our home when someone cruelly shot her. She was covered in blood and crying in pain. We rushed her to a A vet clinic who referred us to an Emergency Vet Clinic. The severity of her injuries resulted in the amputation of her leg. She is a gentle loving carefree boxer who never deserved to be hurt in such a manner. She is clearly not a deer and never wandered from our property. The police did an investigation but could not determine if it was an accident via a misguided hunters bullet or an act of cruel intention. The only thing that really matters is our Duchess has been severly hurt.  We are in need of help to cover her vet bills which have already reached over $1800 and will continue to grow as she starts her journey to recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated to help us to continue to care for our Duchess.
