Our dear friend and club member, Susan Vanderwater, was severely injured in a freak accident at Nationals.

The outpouring of concern, love, and offers of support has meant so much to her family and kennel manager during this incredibly difficult time.

Ænone will be coordinating and managing funds to assist with the immediate needs surrounding Susan’s recovery, including expenses for the handler transporting the dogs from Nationals to Colorado and eventually back to Texas, along with related travel and care costs. Susan’s recovery will take at least 6 months and possibly up to a year.

Funds will also help support Susan’s eventual transport home and other recovery-related expenses as she heals.

If you are able to help during Susan’s hospitalization and recovery, any donation — no matter the amount — will make a meaningful difference and be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and continued prayers for Susan and everyone caring for her.
