Tootie is a 10 year old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $1,068 for Dental Surgery.

After NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue took in her littermates, Blind Truman and Taffy, they received a call that Tootie was in need of a soft place to land. Without blinking an eye, they welcomed Tootie to the pack and the three are affectionately called "The Triplets." Bonded and sharing many of the same medical issues, they live happily at the Sanctuary and share their caretakers bed.

Like her siblings, Tootie has hypertension and kidney disease, both well controlled with medications. She also inherited the genetics for tooth and gum issues, which are common in some greyhound bloodlines. No amount of brushing, scaling, liquid additives, or wipes would prevent gum disease and tooth loss and Tootie requires dental surgery to extract several bad teeth.

Tootie may be smaller in size but her effect is large. Sweet, affectionate and funny, with a “ROOOOOO” that’s the envy of littermates Truman and Taffy, this 10 year old is one happy honey who never stops wiggling and whose long tail never stops wagging. She’s also happy to lend her voice to her siblings’ for a rousing “ROOO” chorus at the drop of the proverbial hat.

NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue provides sanctuary and medical care for special needs animals that are deemed unadoptable. They rely on donations to help pay their vet bills. Tootie is one of those special needs hounds that needs your support. Will you be her hero?
