Emergency surgery for retired Military Working Dog

[Bayard]

Yesterday Project K-9 Hero was contacted to help with an emergency surgery for retired Military Working Dog Ferro. MWD Ferro needed immediate surgery for a blockage that was causing him severe medical issues. His owner and handler, Conner Sullivan, who is an active duty U.S. Army Military Police K-9 Handler, contacted us in desperate need of assistance.

Conner had maxed out his credit cards for the ER visits, x rays, and ultrasounds trying to figure out what was wrong with his retired hero. When it came time for surgery there was simply no funds left for him to be able to pay for it. Within hours of hearing Conner’s and MWD Ferro’s story, we at www.projectk9hero.org approved to pay for this emergency surgery at 100%.

During the surgery, a sock was located inside of MWD Ferro, which was causing all of his medical problems. Project K-9 Hero paid the medical bill of $1,783.81 at 100% for this active duty soldier.

MWD Ferro is a 9 year old German Shepherd, Dual Purpose Patrol/Explosive Dog, who served his entire career with the 903rd U.S. Army MWD Detachment in South Korea.
