Two-year-old Fennec was in bad shape when he was surrendered to H A L O He was exhibiting severe neurological symptoms that had never been diagnosed or treated The H A L O staff watched heartbroken as Fennec whimpered and suffered seizures But they didn’t give up, and after consulting with several local veterinarians, they discovered that Fennec was afflicted with a liver shunt — a congenital vein abnormality that causes circulating blood to bypass the liver, where toxins would normally be removed His prognosis was dire

With no other treatment options, H A L O sent Fennec for a risky surgery in an effort to save his life The staff held its collective breath for 72 hours, waiting for news on Fennec’s condition

To everyone’s delight, the surgery was a success, and Fennec started down the long road to a full recovery With his unstoppable will to live, Fennec is expected to overcome the rough start he’s had in life and be a loving companion to the person who adopts him
