This is Benny. He is four years old. Benny came to us from a shelter in June. The shelter had asked us for help because Benny was blind and needed his two damaged eyes removed. Shortly after Benny arrived, it was discovered he had pneumonia and two freshly cracked ribs. He has now recovered from those and had his eye surgery.

According to Benny’s foster family, Benny is super sweet, smart, and finally starting to play with toys. He is excited for his people as soon as they walk into the house. In spite of his blindness, Benny actually trots in their yard!

Benny’s veterinary costs have already amounted to over $1300. We expect to be billed an additional $2300 for his eye surgery. This summer’s expenses for other foster dogs, such as spays and neuters, dental care, nares and soft palate surgery, kidney stone surgery, and tumor removal, have cut deeply into our funds.

Please help us with the cost of Benny’s eye surgery if you can. We welcome and appreciate any amount you can give.
