Lakewood Pup Hit By Car Gets Lifesaving Surgery Thanks To Donors
Oscar, a one-year-old greyhound hit by a car in Lakewood last week, had surgery today thanks to the generosity of many GoFundMe donors.
LAKEWOOD, Colo., (CBS4) – A one-year-old greyhound that was hit by a car on Thursday had surgery on Monday — thanks to people who donated to a GoFundMe account.
CBS4 first reported on Oscar’s accident on Saturday. At that point, Oscar’s owner had just set up a GoFundMe with a goal of $6,000.
Oscar’s owner, Christy Avila, said she was training him in search-and-rescue techniques at the dog run near her apartment in Lakewood when he went into the street.
