A GoFundMe fundraiser was created Monday to help cover medical costs related to a Wilmington ESDA search-and-rescue dog’s surgery.
The surgery will benefit Hunter and his owner and trainer Bill Bailey. Hunter is a 6-year-old German Shepherd who has just gotten home from the University of Illinois Veterinarian Clinic after having surgery for discospondylitis, which is an infection of a disk in his lower back and a urinary tract infection.
Hunter and Bailey work with Wilmington ESDA and spent countless hours training. Hunter is training for trailing and finding human remains.
Wilmington ESDA is a volunteer organization that helps area first responders.
The monetary goal of the fundraiser is set at $3,000.
A link to the fundraiser can be found on the Wilmington ESDA Facebook page, or by searching “Help K-9 Hunter” on GoFundMe.
