Truman is a 9 year old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $45 for Testing for Glaucoma.

With no place else to go and blind from Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), we knew that Truman needed to be in special care asap. Truman also had sky high blood pressure and inherited the genetics for tooth and gum issues common in some greyhound bloodlines. Now controlled with medications, Truman lives with his caretakers and other hounds at the sanctuary and truly loves his life!

Although blinded by progressive retinal atrophy in his youth, Truman has developed cataracts and we need to check his intra-ocular pressures to test for glaucoma every 6 months. If his pressures rise, he will need additional medications and may ultimately lose his eyes if glaucoma goes untreated. Regular testing at Madison Veterinary Hospital is a must.

Truman is truly a special guy, as sweet as can be, a true Velcro dog and wonderful companion. He's found his place on his caretaker's bed. He’s found his courage to explore, to love and to be loved. Every day brings smiles as Truman adjusts to his handicap and thrives. Most days, his blindness is hardly noticeable and we sometimes forget that he cannot see. He is truly an inspiration to us all.

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