MacKenzie is an 8-year-old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $480 for urgent diagnostic tests.

When MacKenzie first arrived at the NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue sanctuary, her nights were filled with gut-wrenching screams until she realized that her caretakers were her protectors. Now she is happy and knows she's safe and loved.

MacKenzie's past is a mystery. She has deep physical scars and needs urgent medical help. She suddenly developed a bloated belly, severely swollen hind legs, and her blood pressure went through the roof.

"Her initial test results show that she's losing a good deal of protein through her kidneys or intestines and that her liver is not functioning properly, although there is no sign of infection," Duane J. with the rescue tells Waggle.

MacKenzie now needs an ultrasound, fluid testing, and blood work to determine what's causing her condition. "We have provided a haven to ease her emotional pain; now we need to do everything we can to help her get through this crisis," Duane says. "Underneath her anxiety lies a sweet, kind hound that gets along wonderfully with all of the other Sanctuary hounds, large and small. She's most often found sleeping on her caretake 's bed."

The nonprofit sanctuary provides lifelong care for old and sick animals and relies on donations to pay for medical care. Can you help MacKenzie get the diagnostic tests she needs?
