Taffy is a 7-year-old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $800 for Dental Surgery for Gum Disease.

Part of a threesome, affectionately known as The Triplets, Taffy came to The Sanctuary with her blind littermate, Truman and her special needs littermate, Tootie. Both needed medical care for their heart conditions that was not forthcoming in their previous situation.

Sweet as the candy, Taffy is the most outgoing of The Triplets and is the strong one that holds the group together. Originally, not a special needs hound, we saw immediately how sister Tootie depended on Taffy for her support and comfort and we knew we could never separate them. Blind Truman also seeks Taffy out for comfort and for guidance in new situations.

Taffy definitely has her own needs for human companionship. She’s a sweet, sticky hound that loves her human caretakers, shares their bed and comforts them when they are ill. She's also the alert hound, always watching over her friends and letting us know when someone is doing something that needs attention.

Taffy now suffers from an auto-immune disease of her eyes, called Pannus. Thankfully, eye drops have been able to put her in remission and when it flares, we increase her medications. She also inherited a gum disease, despite regular dental care. This has become painful and Taffy needs to have 15-20 teeth extracted.

Animals come to The Sanctuary at NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue when they have no place else to go and need medical care beyond what is available at a typical shelter. As a non-profit rescue, we depend on donations to pay for vet bills and are deeply grateful for all help available.
