Loki is a 5-year-old German Shepherd in Trafalgar, IN, who needs $2,000 for Specialized Wound Care.

Loki was born in our home and moved in with his new family at 12 weeks old. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Loki came back home to us when he was 2 year old. We nursed him back to health and he became a bright light in our lives. He has a contagious joy that always brings a smile to your face.

Loki lives in our home with his mother, Gretta and sister, Tala. We have 4 cats with whom he is infatuated with. We are quit certain he thinks the cats are his as he lovingly watches them. Loki loves to play fetch and be around his favorite humans. He also loves Jeep rides. If the top and doors are off, we know where we can find him! He also love to watch over our flock of chickens and ducks.

Loki is a bundle of energy, but also has a calming presence about him. He tries to convince us to stay in bed just a little bit longer for belly rubs. He is so intelligent knowing all of his commands. He has had a serious case of the side-eye since he was a puppy and that just brings a smile to our faces. Loki is the definition of man's best friend. He always wants to be with his humans.

On November 3rd, 2023, Loki did something he's never done before. He ventured into the road to investigate a worker in the neighbor's driveway. Unfortunately, Loki was hit by a vehicle. He suffered a severe open wound with a fracture and ligament tears in his right rear leg. We rushed loki to an emergency vet, he was taken back immediately. Loki was admitted overnight and will require more care

We were quoted $5,500-7,500 for Loki's initial care and overnight stay. This does not include his ongoing care with a wound specialist or surgery as needed. I have been off work since 8.4.23 due to surgery and medical complications. This is a significant unplanned emergency.
