“Vixen is doing well and her owner, John Cavallo, is thrilled,” says the update on the fundraising site for Vixen, a dog hit by a plow in Waltham, MA, last weekend.

Vixen was badly injured, and needed surgery right away. Just the surgery alone cost in the vicinity of $5,000, and so far, concerned friends and animal lovers have donated $5,900 of the $7,500 requested.

Last week, after the surgery, she was reunited with her owner, Cavallo, reported WHDH-TV.

Cavallo said that Vixen was struck by the plow two weeks ago when she darted from behind a snow bank as Cavallo was returning from picking up a pizza. He heard her yelp, and ultimately collapse. The plow driver did not stop.

BluePearl Veterinary Partners treated the wound and a charity group named Frankie’s Friends set up a donation page on GoFundMe for this mixed breed pooch.
