This sweet, gentle 8 year old female basset, Roma,  was picked up as a stray, placed in the Stockton Animal shelter and went unclaimed by her owner. She was filthy,  infested with fleas, had severely infected ears and dental disease. The ear canal openings and the insides of her outer ears were ulcerated and the ear drums could not be seen because of the bloody discharge present. Her dental  disease was significant, including many loose teeth.  The shelter released her to GGBR and her foster family was  able to get immediate veterinary treatment for the health conditions that had caused her pain and  discomfort. Her ears were treated and she received a dental, including the removal of 7 teeth. 
Thanks to the loving care of her foster family as well as GGBR funding her veterinary treatments, Roma is well on her way to being a healthy, happy hound dog.
