Ray

Dear Angels,

Thank you so very much for your generosity in donating to Second Chances for Blind Dogs! One of our shelter dogs, Ray, has greatly benefited from this awesome product!

Ray was found lying on a raised piece of cement, in the beating sun, at an abandoned school in Cleveland, Ohio. We weren’t sure if he got up there on his own or was put there because he was afraid to come down because of the decline in the cement. He was covered in mats and burs.

The Parma Animal Shelter partners with the Cleveland Animal Control and pulls dogs when they are running out of space or dogs that have special needs. We saw Ray and could not leave him in the small cage at the kennel.

Ray quickly started exploring his new foster home, banging his head on everything. I tried my best to prevent him from hurting himself but he would quickly move his head around and smash into things. Outside, he would run around the backyard and often run into trees and fences. It broke my heart. I went online and came across Second Chances for Blind Dogs and knew that this halo was exactly what Ray needed.

The halo has made a HUGE difference in Ray’s life. He seems more confident walking around now and he’s not hurting himself! This is an amazing product and even more wonderful that you have so generously donated so that other blind dogs could be helped.

Thank you!

Love,

Ray, Colleen Siedlecki (Ray’s foster mom) and Parma Animal Shelter

Ray was picked up as a stray from Cleveland Animal Control. He was stuck up on a piece of slanted cement and it was unknown if someone put him there, or he wandered up there and could not get back down because he couldn’t see. Cleveland Kennel is a very large kennel and they rely on other rescue organizations to pull dogs from their shelter to save these dogs. When I saw Ray I knew we had to help him. He was extremely matted and dirty. I had to give him 2 baths and brushed him for 1.5 hours to get the mats out. He will still need to be shaved as the mats are hurting his skin. He is a very loving dog and wants to be near you. This is my first time helping a blind dog so I’ve been looking at products that can help him get around. I thought these halos were adorable and might even help to get him adopted faster.
