UPDATE: Miss Sophia's care is fully covered! Thanks to the generosity of our supporters -- especially the Jiji Yawn Italian Greyhound Foundation -- we now have the funds to cover her leg surgery, AND her dental care!!!!

We are so grateful for everyone's kindness. And we're so touched that you care as deeply as we do for Italian Greyhounds in need. THANK YOU ALL, this has been an amazing gift!

Sweet Sophia is a beautiful 6-year-old Italian Greyhound who came into our rescue just a month ago—fresh out of surgery for a badly broken leg. Her previous owner, overwhelmed by the challenges of recovery, made the heartbreaking decision to surrender her in hopes of giving her the care she truly needed.

Shortly after settling into her loving foster home, Sophia began limping again. X-rays revealed that the original surgical plate had bent—the hardware just wasn't up to the task of supporting her bones while they healed. Our hearts sank. She needed a second surgery to repair the damage and relieve her pain.

Thanks to a generous discount from a compassionate vet, Sophia underwent a second surgery to replace the hardware and give her the chance to walk and play again. She’s now rocking a colorful butterfly cast as she heals, and she continues to charm everyone with her gentle spirit.

But Sophia’s journey isn’t over yet. Once her leg is healed, she’ll need extensive dental work—estimated to cost several thousand dollars. This sweet girl has endured so much, yet she remains full of love and hope.

With your help, Sophia can finally live the happy, pain-free life she deserves.
