The BC SPCA North Cariboo District Branch is asking members of the public to help with the costs of care for a dog named Luna who was shot, is severely emaciated and is recovering from surgery.
Members of the public spotted Luna wandering on Blackwater Road in Prince George and nicknamed her the “Blackwater Boxer.” Local animal control officers provided a live trap and an SPCA special provincial constable monitored the trap multiple times each day. After over a week, the SPCA was successfully able to trap the terribly injured three-year-old dog.
“Luna had been walking around for days with half of her jaw missing due to a gunshot wound. She immediately went in for emergency reconstructive surgery,” says SPCA North Cariboo District animal centre services manager Alex Schare.
“Luna is a playful young dog with a remarkable amount of energy despite her injuries and weakened state,” says Schare.
Luna needs your help to cover her emergency surgery and now, her recovery. Please help this dog get the help she so desperately deserves.
Personal updates for Luna will be provided to anyone who donates to her campaign.
*Goal includes: surgery, medication, vaccinations, regular health check, and daily care for Luna until she’s ready for adoption. If her medical costs and cost of care is less than is raised in her name, additional funds will provide care for other animals.
