Sydney is a 12 year old Beagle in Geneva, OH, who needs $1,188 for Dental Surgery and Extraction of Rotting Teeth.

Confiscated as part of an abuse/neglect case, Sydney found herself at a shelter where she was attacked by another dog. Thankfully, HERO Hound Rescue pulled her from the shelter and many compassionate volunteer drivers formed a transport, allowing her to travel comfortably to our sanctuary. She quickly settled as she started on her healing journey.

Sydney suffered from malnutrition and an infestation of parasites. Her ears were heavily infected and she’s deaf. Her right eye has epithelial corneal dystrophy, both eyes have cataracts, and she’s going blind. Most troubling are her rotting teeth and she requires dental surgery to relieve the pain and quell the oral infection. Madison Vet Hospital is treating Sydney for all her medial issues.

Surprisingly sweet and gentle in spite of all that she’s suffered, Sydney gives new meaning to the word “LOVE.” This tenderhearted survivor not only loves following us around, she also loves being held and cuddled. Determined not to let her abusive past affect her future Sydney is a role model for her caretakers as she spreads her warmth to everyone she meets.

As a registered nonprofit animal rescue, we provide sanctuary and lifetime medical care for special needs animals and we rely on donations to pay for their vet bills. Sydney is one of those special needs hounds that needs your support. Can you help us help her?
