GoFundMe Launched for Moo Moo’s Memory and Medical Costs After Las Vegas Hit-And-Run

Moo Moo, a four-year-old dachshund cherished for her gentle nature and joyful spirit, was fatally injured in a hit-and-run near Lake Mead and Buffalo Boulevard on Monday afternoon. The heartbreaking loss has left her family devastated, and they have now launched a GoFundMe to help cover emergency veterinary costs and support other dogs in need.

In their GoFundMe message, Moo Moo’s family shared an emotional tribute to the little dog whose presence shaped their daily lives. They described her days as “filled with happiness and adventure,” whether she was sunbathing in a warm patch of light, foraging for figs in the yard, or curling up to comfort a family member who needed love.

Moo Moo was there for graduations, quiet mornings, and the thousand small moments that make up a family’s life. She greeted her loved ones every day with excited jumps and unwavering loyalty. When someone left the house, she would wait anxiously by the door, squeaking softly until they returned. To her family, these rituals were just as precious as the milestones she shared with them.

Her sister recalled that Moo Moo “was always looking for kind ways to help others,” cleaning Juju’s face every morning and keeping watch while she slept. At the pool, Moo Moo would follow every lap, meeting her at the edge with wagging encouragement and happy kisses. “Seeing her smile always made me smile too,” she wrote. “Her joyful energy inspires me in everything I do.”

The GoFundMe aims to cover the extensive emergency medical bills incurred while trying to save Moo Moo’s life, but the family has also pledged to use remaining funds to help other dogs in her honor. They hope to support local rescues and families facing unexpected veterinary crises, reflecting Moo Moo’s lifelong instinct to comfort and protect others.

“We didn’t get to say goodbye to our angel,” the family wrote. “But her love is still with us. Helping other dogs is the best way to carry her forward.”

The fatal hit-and-run that claimed Moo Moo’s life has left many northwest Las Vegas residents shaken, prompting an outpouring of sympathy for the family. As police continue searching for the driver, the family is focusing their energy on giving back to the animal community that Moo Moo adored.

They are asking anyone touched by Moo Moo’s story to support the GoFundMe — whether by sharing the link or contributing what they can. Every donation, they say, is a tribute to a dog whose love was unconditional and whose presence remains deeply missed.
