Hope Solo is mourning the death of her beloved Doberman Conan, who passed away over the weekend after being shot days prior.

On Saturday, the former soccer star confirmed the devastating news on Instagram, revealing Conan died from blood loss on Friday night.

“‪We‘re brokenhearted to share that Conan passed away from blood loss last night,” Solo penned. “He fought up until the very end.‬”

Earlier in the week, 38-year-old Solo revealed Conan — one of several dogs she shares with husband Jerramy Stevens, 40, — was in critical condition after being shot.

“It’s hard news to share, but harder to make sense of this heinous act. Jerramy and I are shocked and heartbroken, but we want to say thank you to Wilkes Veterinary Hospital and their staff for rushing Conan into emergency care, as well as their COVID-19 care practices,” Solo posted to social media Thursday.

She added at the time, “We‘ve heard that there are developments in canine prosthetics and would love any information about getting Conan a new front leg!”

Solo, who described Conan as “kind and loving” dog, said he “wandered 30 yards off our property when he was shot.”

“We bought our 60-acres so our dogs have space to run and live their most full lives,” Solo shared.

Though Solo did not further elaborate on the incident, she said, “as animal lovers we are struggling to make sense of anyone using their right to own guns to shoot pets of any kind.”

“We have had pets come onto our property and always helped them get home safe,” she added.

Conan’s passing comes weeks after Solo and Stevens announced they became parents to twins. They have been married since 2012.
