The Pecos Memorial Fund
The Pecos Memorial Fund is dedicated to helping Labradors who have
suffered at the hands of humans yet kept their grace and spirit despite
the cruel treatment they received.
This fund was started in memory of Pecos, a yellow Lab who escaped from
his yard while his owners were on vacation and somehow found his way home
despite the severe injuries he received after he had been doused with
lighter fluid and set afire. Although Pecos was transferred to a vet
school with the best of facilities, once he was assessed there, it was
felt the burns he received were too severe and the most humane thing to do
was to euthanize him.
A $5,000 reward fund was established to help bring the abusers to
justice but unfortunately they have not been caught yet. Due
to press coverage of this tragic event, donations had started to come in
to help with Pecos' treatment and continued to come in even after he was
euthanized. Through the generosity of Georgia Labrador Retriever Rescue
who decided to donate all of the funds raised for Pecos to LABMED and
another non-profit group, we can help keep the memory of Pecos alive by
using these funds to help those Labs and Lab-mixes who come to us for
assistance when they have suffered injuries or illness due to abuse or
neglect.
Pecos is sadly missed by his family but thanks to the generosity of
others, his memory will live on through this fund. Please consider making a donation
in honor of Pecos so we can help other abused and neglected
Labs through this memorial fund. Please let us know that you are making a
donation in honor of Pecos so we can add your name to the list of donors
below.
Thank You!

In loving memory of Pecos
