Hi, my name is Gracie LeDoux, but more importantly, this fundraiser is for my 7month old German Shepherd named Alex. Yesterday around 4 pm (7/27/23) Alex was hit by a vehicle. I rushed her to the nearest vet (an hour and a half away.) upon arrival Alex was given sedatives and pain medication. She was stabilized and the vet was able to take X-rays. The Imaging showed that her pelvis is broken on both sides of a joint where her sacrum and pelvis are attached. Alex is going to have to have surgery by a specialist to be able to use her back end again. Alex was stabilized and brought home under veterinary recommendation. The surgery has a very high success rate but it will be a long recovery. I may have to drive her to Denver, CO over six hours away from our home in Mora, NM depending on availability for this procedure.
The world has a way of giving us hardships during our most vulnerable times. I am currently a full-time student for my Bachelor's in Nursing. I work as much as I can but it simply won't cut it for the treatment Alex needs right now. I am committed to doing whatever it will take to get Alex the care she needs.
Alex is a happy and lively puppy that brings joy to my home. She is so important to me and my family. I wish I could take her injuries and make them mine. She is in a tremendous amount of pain but still wags her tail every time she sees us. Alex is a compassionate being and I want nothing more than to have her jump into my lap and try to steal my snacks again. Every dollar makes a difference and so does every share this fundraiser can get. Thank you all for anything that you can do, whether it's donating a few dollars or sharing her story, we will be forever grateful.
I will update on Alex's condition if it changes and continue to update on where we are in the recovery process.
Thank you,
Gracie Allee LeDoux
