On August 7

HART
received the following email from a shelter we routinely rescue dogs and cats from:
"Hi, Dick - we are desperately trying to help this sweet boy to have relief from a condition he has obviously suffered through for many months/years. Gus was owner-surrendered to the shelter today with the worst cherry-eyes we have ever seen. And yet he smiles and wags his tail through what must be horrible discomfort and pain. Gus is about three years old and good with other dogs. Any chance you might be able to help him?"
We did not skip a beat and told the shelter we would take Gus.
Sweet Gus arrived that same week and we had already set up an appointment for him with a veterinarian ophthalmologist. She examined Gus and scheduled his surgery for August 23
rd
. The surgery was a huge success and for the first time in probably years, Gus can see and is pain free!!!
The bill for Gus’s surgery and his after care at the vets is so far in excess of $2,500. Gus is still recovering at a 24 hour vet clinic and unfortunately now has a lung infection but is expected to make a full recovery. The vet techs have told us that he is the sweetest little dog around and a real trooper!
We did not want to send this out to you until the surgery was done as the before picture is very tough to look at. But look at how great Gus looks now!!!
Please consider a donation to help
