Truman is a 7-year-old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $442 for urgent dental surgery.

With no place else to go and showing signs of going blind, Truman needed someone with a big heart to take him in.

Luckily Duane J. from NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue and Sanctuary swooped in to save him.

"Truman is always the first to greet his caretakers at the door, and he's the first to meet the incoming hounds," Duane tells Waggle. "He's become a helper hound and supervises his caretaker as she prepares food bowls for his friends."

Everyone at the sanctuary loved Truman so much that when his siblings needed help, they took them in too. "Two of his sisters have special needs, and the three are known as 'The Triplets,'" Duane says.

Truman is battling many health issues, including advanced progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), which will rob him of his sight, high blood pressure, and terrible teeth.

"Truman is cursed with bad gums, and no amount of brushing, scaling, liquid additives, or wipes will prevent tooth loss," Duane says. "He's at the point where he needs to have several teeth extracted due to excessive gum recession."

Now the Greyhound rescue is racing to raise the money for Truman's surgery.

"As a nonprofit animal rescue, we provide sanctuary and medical care for special needs animals deemed unadoptable, and we rely on donations to pay for their vet bills," Duane says. "Truman is one of those special needs hounds that needs your support. Can you help us help him?"
