Big Red's blog

For the last two weeks I’ve been having midnight rendezvous’ with a cute girl named Katie. She says she’s my vet tech but I know she just can’t wait 12 whole hours to stare deep into my eyes again! She cleans out my eye goop and puts in eye drops.

Well today was the day ... Big Red's consult with the Ophthalmologist at UGA. We harnessed him up and went for a ride. He rode really well in the car and was friendly to everyone he saw.

In order for Big Red to have surgery on his eyelids, the shelter needed to raise the $1300 from private donations. Appeals were put up on our website and our Facebook page on Friday night, July 28th. Donations trickled in for several days. It looked like we would have about half the money by the time of the initial consult at UGA.

Meet Big Red. He is a gorgeous bloodhound who is approximately 5 years old. Big Red was brought to the Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter as a stray. The individual who brought him in said he was wandering the roads.
