Beethoven, an eight-month-old golden retriever puppy, resting on a blanket with a hand on his head

Beethoven needs brain surgery

He is eight months old. He was dumped outside the shelter in the middle of massive seizures, and an MRI showed swelling pressing on the nerves in his brain, caused by a blow to the head. It has left him blind and deaf. Surgery to relieve that pressure is his chance.
