Reconstructive Plastic Surgery for Dog Bite

Donation protected
⚠️ PREFACE ⚠ 

She has owned Apollo for 6 years and Apollo has lived comfortably in our family for the last 2 years before recently moving to Las Vegas. Apollo is a rescue dog with known issues regarding incredibly harsh treatment in his past which has resulted in his severe PTSD.

On 27 March 2019 at 830pm PST, my fiancée was attempting to clean our dog Apollo's teeth in the living room while I was out of town. What appeared to be a normal hygiene routine engagement quickly turned into a complete nightmare once Apollo decided to attack her, viciously biting her face after grabbing onto her arm to drag her to the ground. After the initial scuffle, she was able to reach the phone and dialed 911 immediately when medical attention and law enforcement were dispatched to the scene.

APOLLO HAS AN EXTENSIVE HISTORY OF PTSD AND BEHAVIORAL ISSUES STEMMING FROM HIS TROUBLED UPBRINGING PRIOR TO OUR OWNERSHIP. WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ASSIST HIM WITH LEADING A NORMAL LIFE. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THIS DIFFICULT TIME BEFORE YOU START DRAWING YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS BASED OFF OF A SUMMARY OF DETAILS POSTED ON THE INTERNET. WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH ANIMAL CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT REGARDING THE ONGOING SITUATION.

I was a K9 handler / trainer for 8 years in the armed forces who delt specifically with inducive obedience routines, environmental conditioning, and explosives detection training. Despite our best efforts to confront and treat his condition, he has mauled his one and only handler / owner.

This campaign is strictly for the financing of this medical treatment, which includes but isn't limited to, extensive dental and plastic surgery. We have yet to be billed so this will continue to be updated as information is gathered and released. Thank you for your time.
