Healing Hearts Program
|
Our Healing Hearts Program was established to help special needs animals get the treatment and care they need to live a happy healthy life. This program helps treat conditions as normal as Thyroid problems, Heartworms, and Mange to conditions much more severe such as dislocated hips, broken bones, limb amputations, birth defects, and life threatening emergency procedures. Our Healing Hearts Program helps animals who would otherwise be euthanized due to medical conditions that are treatable, but costly. Sometimes the difference between an animal being adopted or euthanized comes down to one very simple issue, Funding. Our aim is to never have to turn a needy animal away due to lack of funding. The only way for us to achieve that is with the support from our community in building our Healing Hearts Program. |
Thumper came to us because he was facing euthanasia at one of our partnering animal control facilities. Thumper was born Deaf, and had recently suffered a broken leg after being thrown from a moving vehicle, and had severe anxiety on top of everything. He went into a foster home and through his long recovery he had an outpouring of supporters. Through his story our Healing Hearts Program was born. Thumpers has since been adopted by his foster mom, one of our staff members, and now regularly attends offsite events and education programs to help spread awareness about special needs animals, as well as help promote our Healing Hearts Program.

Astro is a staff favorite and true success story. He was completely shut down and in an open intake shelter where he faced Euthanasia due to his temperament and injuries as a result of being hit by a car, and heartworm positive status. Fast forward two months and this boy is completely healed up, loves EVERYONE, and has completed heartworm treatment!! Unfortunatly it was recently discovered he had a cancerous tumor that has sense been removed.

April came to us pregnant and ready to pop, this mother-to-be had been living on the streets her entire life, and this last time was hit over the head with a board causing a small fracture. She successfully raised 13 babies, and is going through heartworm treatment and once finished will get some masses biopsied, and until then we are keeping our fingers and toes crossed for her!

Daisy is a Hurricane Harvey survivor who came to us emaciated, overbred, heartworm and lungworm positive, and in congestive heart failure. To say she was a wreck is an understatement. This girl is now down to only two medications a month, loves everyone she meets, and is finally ready to find a loving family.
