Horton is a 12-year-old Beagle in Geneva, OH, who needs $60 for X-Rays to Check for Bladder Obstructions.

We received a message that Horton was in dire need of rescue as his owner was leaving the country in 2 days and Horton would be euthanized if a rescue could not be found. We immediately made arrangements to take him into The Sanctuary and to give him all the care he needs for the rest of his life. He's settling in here and making many friends with the other hounds and human caretakers.

Horton is a quiet, sensitive soul who spends most of his days resting. He's grossly obese and has a heart murmur and significant arthritis in his hips, so he moves slowly. The cataracts have left him completely bind at night, but he takes it all in stride and doesn't seem to be bothered by his afflictions. He's a sweet old man that just wants to be loved.

When it's time to go potty, Horton lets us know with a loud, raspy beagle bark. He sniffs around outside and does his business like a pro. He's gentle and kind with the other hounds and has taken a liking to Penny Hound. He will follow her around like a puppy dog. Horton is not found of being groomed, but he tolerates it when we brush out his thick coat and trim his nails.

In addition to his cataracts and arthritis, Horton is having some difficulty urinating and seems to be uncomfortable when his abdomen is touched. Tests show no sign of infection. His prostate is of normal size and his kidneys are functioning. Dr. Zulandt, from Madison Vet Hospital, needs x-ray images to check for obstructions, stones and tumors.

As a registered non-profit animal sanctuary, we rely on donations to pay for the medical bills of the animals in our care. We have already raised funds for Horton's medications and tests, but we need funds for the x-rays. Please show Horton that his life matters.
