Shy Guy is a sweet little dog who came into the rescue very sick from a puppy mill.  His eyes were red, swollen, and dry which allowed him only to see some shadows.  His foster mom would have to put drops in both eyes several times a day to moisturize them.  She also had to clean the matted fur out of each eye.  Shy's eyes are not able to close when he sleeps so his eyes get very dry.  Unfortunately, the dry eyes can cause painful corneal ulcers and scarring that limits vision.  Shy Guy went to an animal ophthalmologist and he prescribed medication that allowed the scars to dissolve so Shy can see more clearly.  Since the scars have dissolved, his little personality has come out. Shy Guy now runs freely around the yard and encourages the other dogs to chase him rather than just following shadows. 


The final step to help his vision is a surgery called a medial canthoplasty.  The surgery brings the lids over his buldging eyes so they close when he sleeps.  This allows his eyes to stay moist and protected.  The surgical procedure will help to ensure Shy will have healthy eyes and retain the vision he has gained through medication.  The ophthalmologist believes so strongly that this surgery will help Shy with vision that he is willing to do the surgery for only $450 which is a greatly reduced rate.  Please DONATE to Shy Guy so he can play with other pugs using his newly found vision.

MN MPR received $560 in donations this weekend for Shy Guy's eye surgery!! THANK YOU to everyone who was able to donate!!! Shy Guy's surgery is scheduled for Wednesday and his foster family will give us updates as things happen!
