CCSO K9 STANA

CCSO K9 Stana needs your help.

Stana is one of the Coryell County Sheriff’s Office narcotics-detection K9s who has spent the past five years helping deputies find and remove illegal narcotics throughout the county. Now 6 years old, Stana is in-need of surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her rear left leg. Because of this injury, Stana cannot put weight on that leg, which is causing stress on her hips, back and right leg, as well as causing her a fair amount of pain and discomfort. In addition to the torn ACL, Stana has been diagnosed with “significant hip dysplasia of the left hip joint, mild arthritis in her left and right stifles (knee joints) and spondylosis (vertebral arthritis) of the 6-7 lumbar.” Of her current conditions, only the ACL tear can be surgically repaired. Her other conditions can be managed. The surgery, which will be performed locally at Coryell Veterinary Clinic, is estimated to cost between $1,200 and $1,670 and the CCSO does not have the funds budgeted to cover the procedure. To that end, the CCSO has established a Gofundme benefit to help raise money for Stana’s surgery.

After the surgery is performed, Stana will be retired with her handler to live out the rest of her years, as free of pain as possible.
