Truman is a 8 year old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $950 for Dental Surgery and 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. He now lives with his caretakers and other hounds at the sanctuary and truly loves his life!

Truman is cursed with bad gums and no amount of brushing, scaling, liquid additives or wipes will prevent tooth loss. He's at the point where he needs to have several teeth extracted due to excessive gum recession. Although blinded by PRA in his youth, he's now developed cataracts and we need to test his eye pressure for glaucoma regularly. Madison Veterinary Hospital is treating Truman.

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?
