About this campaign

Penny’s past was filled with unimaginable horror. Her front elbow and leg were badly broken but never tended to. She now walks with a permanent limp. Thankfully, Penny managed to escape her tormentors by limping across a field toward safety. After being found by a good Samaritan, she was surrendered to a shelter and then transferred to NE Ohio Greyhound Sanctuary.

Penny arrived 3 years ago with stage two kidney failure, a skin infection, heartworm, and Ehrlichia, which is a tickborne illness. She's been treated for the parasites and infections, and her kidney function improved. But now she started passing blood in her urine and needs x-rays and an ultrasound at Madison Vet Hospital to diagnose the problem and provide treatment.

Despite the abuse she suffered, Penny is sweet and kind and forgiving. She gets along well with all the other hounds at the Sanctuary, has a hearty appetite, isn't picky about eating her allergy diet food, likes to chew on toy bones and has become quite attached to her caretakers. Penny's soulful eyes, however, still hint at her former abuse and there are times when she seems very sad.

As a registered nonprofit animal sanctuary, NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue relies on donations to pay for vet bills and medical care. They have been able to raise money for some of Penny's bills, but they need help to pay for x-rays and ultrasound . Will you please help Penny?
