Family Launches Fundraiser for San Angelo Officer Injured in Dog Attack

SAN ANGELO, TX — The family of a San Angelo Animal Services officer critically injured in a dog attack on November 6, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support his medical expenses as he faces a prolonged recovery process.

The campaign aims to raise funds to cover the costs of ongoing surgeries and rehabilitation.

The incident left him with severe injuries, including a mangled left arm, bite wounds to his head, shoulders, and legs, and significant blood loss. According to the GoFundMe, the man's injuries were so severe that he “almost bled to death.” He was airlifted to Lubbock, where he remains hospitalized.

As of the latest update on the fundraising page, the man has undergone multiple surgeries to reconstruct his damaged arm and will require additional procedures. A recent operation involved removing a wound vac and further cleaning and treating his left arm, a procedure that took four hours.

The family noted that he is a hardworking and dedicated public servant who “would never ask for a handout.” information stated. “He will need any extra help he can get.”

The San Angelo Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division is continuing to review the case to determine if criminal charges are warranted against the dogs’ owner.

The GoFundMe has an initial goal of $5,000. As of now, $50 has been raised.
