KRDO

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The El Paso County Canine Rescue hosted a 5K fun run/walk Sunday morning at Black Forest Section 16.

The event was designed to raise money for one of their dogs up for adoption, Goldie Lox.

Goldie Lox has a condition called Megaesophagus or ME, which causes her to throw up whatever food she eats. It puts the dog at risk of getting pneumonia from aspirating her food. Golide Lox has to eat in a special chair to keep her from throwing up.

The money raised will all go towards the dog and helping pay for a surgery to fix her condition.
