(Aliquippa, Pa) A fundraiser was held on Saturday in Aliquippa to support the Pitbull, Maize, who was attacked with a hatchet and lost an ear as a result in February. The Fundraiser was held at the Marathon Gas station on Brodhead road.

Hooves and Paws Delights/Healing Therapies was the organizer of the fundraiser. They sold homemade dog, horse, and cat treats as well as offered PEMF therapy (pulsed electromagnetic fields therapy). PEMF is the the type of therapy that Hooves and Paws performs weekly on Maize to help her with pain and inflammation from the incident that she experienced.

In total, over $500 was raised for the 10 month old Maize’s ongoing vet care, food, and supplies she will need.

David Askew of Aliquippa is awaiting a preliminary hearing in April for charges related to the attack.
