Onyx dedicated her life to the Westport Police Department.
As a member of the K-9 unit, she helped officers sniff out drugs and track bad guys. She was faithful, energetic, and very good.
Now, the retired police dog faces a potentially serious medical challenge. A tumor is affecting her eye.
Surgery can remove it. Though difficult, it will prevent further pain and help stem the spread of disease.
Onyx is strong, resilient, and surrounded by people who are committed to fighting for her every step of the way.

But this is just the start of Onyx’s medical journey. Surgery will cost a few thousand dollars. If a biopsy confirms malignancy, total care will be much higher.
Harlow’s Heroes is a non-profit that provides medical care, critical services and support for active and retired K-9s.
They’ve already covered all pre-operation expenses. Now they’re looking for help through surgery, and after.
Funds would cover surgical removal of Onyx’s eye; biopsy and diagnostic testing; post-operative care and medications, and follow-up treatment.
