Stormy is a 12-year-old Beagle in Geneva, OH, who needs $920 for urgent care.

Abandoned by her owner, Stormy was left to wander aimlessly. Finally, someone called the shelter, and Stormy was brought in as a stray. Based on Stormy's huge, distended abdomen, everyone thought she was pregnant. Stormy was claimed by another rescue, but after an X-ray revealed that she was not pregnant, the rescue abandoned her at the vet hospital. That’s when we sprang into action to save her.

While we don't know the details of Stormy's past, we do see the telltale signs of abuse. Her tail is raw and often bleeds, which is common in dogs that are kept in very small cages. Stormy's coat is extremely dry and full of stains, particularly around her neck, indicating a collar that was fastened too tightly. She was absolutely covered in fleas and ticks, and she was an itchy, miserable mess.

Despite all that Stormy has endured, she is the sweetest beagle who is determined not to let her serious health issues get her down. With a hearty appetite, Stormy lets us know when she's hungry and when she has to go outside. She's mellow and friendly with all the other dogs here and loves to snuggle with her caretakers, too. Stormy has the most endearing facial expressions and makes us smile.

Stormy's liver and spleen are both extremely enlarged, and the right side of her heart is also displaying some abnormalities. In addition, Stormy is dealing with a heart murmur and her teeth are rotting away inside her mouth. She still needs to undergo additional radiographs, an ultrasound and lab tests to determine whether she is suffering from cancer, heart or liver disease, or Cushing's.

We are a non-profit animal sanctuary that provides high quality, lifetime care for severely ill animals, like Stormy, that have no other options. Donations are crucial for saving the lives of these animals. Can you help this most deserving beagle? Please?
