Willie is a 14 year old Beagle in Geneva, OH, who needs $402 for Dental Surgery to Extract Bad Teeth.

A Good Samaritan wanted to adopt Willie when he first arrived at a shelter. After careful consideration, the Good Samaritan felt that Willie would not be able to get around well in her house and yard and the shelter contacted us to see if we could take him into our Sanctuary, knowing that we have special accommodations for impaired hounds. We jumped at the chance to welcome this boy.

A weathered and wise, bow-legged cowboy, Willie is an old man with severe, disfiguring arthritis with bumps and lumps and irritated skin. Willie loves his chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, and back massages. His heart is enlarged due to his old age, and his teeth are not in the best of shape and he needs a dental to extract the bad ones now. Madison Vet Hospital oversees Willie's care.

Willie may be old and disfigured, but his body doesn’t get him down and he’s sweet, funny and such a joy to care for. He has made several hound friends that also travel with him for traditional and holistic veterinary care. He loves people and loves to eat! Willie has touched many hearts and continues to exude his enthusiasm for life to all his meets.

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