Benjamin is a 10-year-old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $65 for X-Rays to Assess Elbow Tumor.

Benjamin joined The Sanctuary at NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue when he was just three years old, and quickly became an excellent meet and greet dog who enjoyed doing therapy work with humans. No matter where he went, he had a kind and sensitive way that helped humans relax. He was always ready to show others just how amazing Greyhounds could be.

Goofy at times, playful at other times, Benjamin often doesn't realize his large size. He's known for trying to squeeze himself into a beagle-sized dog bed. True to his greyhound breed, Benjamin sleeps a lot, too. He sings along when the hounds start "roo-ing" and is always interested in the "goings-on" at The Sanctuary.

Benjamin developed many health issues, including a severe heart murmur, high blood pressure, and kidney disease. He stopped working events and was more comfortable staying in the house and keeping his caretakers' company. About a year after his initial illness, Benjamin developed a bulging disc in his neck that causes pain from time to time. Medications and diet have helped.

Now Benjamin is fighting a new medical battle, and he needs your kindness. He’s developed an inoperable, benign tumor on his right elbow. It’s growing quickly and has been causing pain and lameness. We need to take an x-ray to see if the tumor is affecting his underlying bone. Dr. Tom Zulandt, owner of Madison Vet Hospital is treating Benjamin.

We provide lifetime care for animals with medical needs and rely solely on donations to pay for their vet bills. We have raised funds for Benjamin’s recent lab tests but need help with getting donations for x-rays. Please help if you can. Thanks!!
