Banjo is a 4-year-old Chihuahua Mix in Southeastern, PA, who needs $2,000 for MRI and Neuter.

Banjo was one of 73 Chihuahuas rescued from a hoarding house in Philadelphia. Shortly after he was rescued & taken to a city shelter, he had two, gran mal seizures and needed a safe place to land where his medical needs could be addressed. Finding Shelter Animal Rescue is no stranger to epileptic dogs, so he went to a loving, experienced foster home where he could begin to heal and thrive.

Banjo is the sweetest, most mellow and loving boy. Two of his family members from the hoarder house were also rescued along with him, so he is happy to have them as companions and playmates. Banjo loves to cuddle and nap resting like a baby in your arms. He is loving, happy, and so very sweet.

Banjo loves to nap. He can fall asleep anywhere inside or out in the yard even with lots of activity going on around him. Even from a deep sleep, he can pop up, go into full play mode and then quickly fall asleep again!

Banjo had two gran mal seizures and seemed to have some vision issues. He has been evaluated by an ophthalmologist who diagnosed him with partial retinal detachment but confirmed that he is able to see. The neurologist suggests an MRI as she suspects possible brain swelling or genetic issues and as a double cryptorchid will need a surgeon to neuter him at the time of his MRI.

Banjo had a difficult start to his life in a hoarding house. His medical costs are estimated at $5,000 and we want him to have every chance at the best health so he can find his forever home. He is a very special dog and deserves to be healthy and happy.
