Reily - Noah - Aqua
In mid April 2007, The Oregon Humane Society took custody of two whippets, Reily and Noah, an Italian Greyhound named Aqua,
and a cat ...
named Isabella,
that were severely underweight and neglected
in Washington County of Portland, Oregon. The animals were hospitalized and
once their condition stabilized, all four were
adopted to caring and loving homes.
Noah - May 2007

Noah was weak. He would stumble when he tried to run like a whippet. His feet were red and swollen. The tissue around his eyes was red and dry. He was very pink and flushed.
