Truman

Truman is a 10 year old Greyhound in Geneva, OH, who needs $1,185 for Life Saving Eye Removal Surgery.

Geneva, OH • NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue

Truman came into our Sanctuary in early August of 2017 at 22 months of age. Already showing signs of advanced Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA), we knew that this boy needed to be in special care and took him into the Sanctuary as quickly as we could. ​There isn’t much we can do to reverse the effects of PRA, as it’s a genetic disorder. It hits most dog breeds in mid-age, but for greyhounds, it appears sometime around the age of one. PRA destroys the retina and night vision is the first to be lost, with total blindness coming within a year or two. As Truman aged, he developed cataracts in both eyes. While removing the cataracts won't restore his vision, we needed to perform eye pressure tests regularly to make sure that the cataracts are not leading to glaucoma or uveitis. Truman’s eye pressures were normal for over 2 years but suddenly, the cataracts started to shift (luxation) and cause deep spikes in pressure, first very low, then very high. Medications proved to be ineffective and his pain levels were rising. We needed to provide Truman with life saving enucleation and remove both eyes before his pain became intolerable. Truman is healing from his surgery and getting a bit stronger every day. Truman is truly a special guy, as sweet as can be, a true Velcro dog and wonderful companion. He’s found his courage to explore, to love and to be loved. Every day brings smiles as Truman adjusts to his medical condition and thrives. He even helps the new hounds adjust to life at the Sanctuary. The MRLT vision sciences lab at the University of California – Davis conducted a genetic study of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in Greyhounds. Truman developed PRA but neither of his littermates, Tootie and Taffy, has the disease. Truman and his sisters, along with other greyhounds, provided valuable data for this study and led to the discovery of the gene responsible for PRA! Can you help this sweet boy that helps so many? As a registered, nonprofit animal rescue, we rely on donations to pay for the medical bills of the special needs animals in our care. Your donation will go allow us to continue in our mission to provide lifetime care to animals like Truman.

Freya

Freya is a 3 year old Perro de Presa Canario in Seattle, WA, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

Seattle, WA

Freya was adopted from the Seattle Humane Society in January of 2022. She is a cuddly sweetheart that is an extremely loved part of our family. Family consists of 5 people, one other god named Melvin and 3 cats. Freya is overall in great health and has historically enjoyed lots of hiking and playing. She is a mix breed - mastiff type, retriever and pit bull (according to her DNA test results) Limp after walks in 2024 led to consult at Animal Surgical & Orthopedic Center in Shoreline, WA - led to TPLO surgery in 2/2025 with full recovery. Was known the other leg would at some point need same surgery - on 6/23/2025 during a mild play session in yard she yelped and now no longer puts weight on her other rear leg (non surgery leg). Have a consult scheduled, but expect to need TPLO again. She is special because she is a part of our family and we all love her completely. She is a cuddler, consummate wiggler and all around happy girl. She interacts as an integral part of our family with everyone. My daughter Scarlett has a very close relationship with her. Her dog brother Melvin is her best buddy. She's perfect. Single income family for past 12yrs. Son with autism making child care options difficult. Falling behind - just did TPLO on other leg past February. Depleted savings and income diminished due to some work/life changes. Hoping for more time before next TPLO, but needs now

Wolfie

Wolfie is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Wilmington, NC, who needs $2,000 for Crystalloid Fluid Boluses to Treat Pyothorax.

Wilmington, NC

Wolfie (short for Wolfgang) and his two siblings, Muffy and Birdie, were born in a motel. We retrieved all three kittens with the intention of keeping two but quickly fell in love with them all. They were only 6 weeks old, too young to leave their mom, so they remained very bonded to each other; particularly Wolfie and Birde. Wolfie is still a big baby and especially bonded to his sister Birdie. Wolfie had an adverse reaction to topical flea treatment and became lethargic and uninterested in his regular activities. It quickly became evident that Wolfie's health was in decline. We rushed him to eastern Carolina Veterinary Referral and discovered Wolfie was in critical condition diagnosed with pyothorax. He remains in critical care, but his prognosis for survival is positive. Wolfie is the very vocal and must involve himself in all our kitchen activities. We jokingly call him "beggar kitty" because he cannot get enough treats. Our 5-pound chihuahua, Joy has been a mother to Wolfie and his siblings since they came to us. Although Wolfie and his siblings are very big in size, they still allow Joy to scold them when she sees fit and give them baths. We both became unemployed in the last six months. Our family of 3 is now on government assistance to cover food and health care. When Wolfie became sick we were devastated and heartbroken. We would do anything to help Wolfie live the long and happy life that he so deserves.
