Healing Hearts Program
Healing Hearts Ambassador Thumper
|
Thumper came to us Deaf, with a broken leg, and severe anxiety. He went into a foster home and through his recovery our Healing Hearts Program was born.
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. Our boy Thumper was adopted by his foster mom, one of our staff members, and regularly attends offsite events and education programs to help spread awareness about special needs animals. |

Saving Olaf...
|
Olaf came into the Hill Country SPCA in January 2018, him and his sibling immediately went into foster with a wonderful foster mom, despite receiving age appropriate vaccinations him and his siblings tested parvo positive on February 8th. They were immediately rushed off to the vet, and while he is now over Parvo he is facing sepsis in his rear limbs. He has lost his tale, as well as all of his rear toes and paw pads. He is a staff favorite at the clinic and even sits with the Vet while she is doing paperwork. He has stolen the hearts of everyone, and now we are pleading with you to help us continue to provide the extraordinary care that he will need.
Olaf is currently staying with a staff member and is going to the vet twice a week for them to change out his bandages. Once his feet completely clear up from the sores from the severe infection, his vet will then be doing a procedure called a Foot Pad Graft where she will be placing a tea plant pad on his left foot to add more cushion, and she is confident that his right foot will be able to support itself. Once that heals, he will then be fitted with a 3D prosthetic while he grows and lastly will be fitted with a more durable and permanent one once he stops growing. As a non-profit shelter we are always struggling for donations and this time of year is especially hard, funding is tight and in order to continue to save lives like Olaf, we need your help. Olaf's vet bill is well over $3,000 and will continue to grow as his healing is not done yet. Only you can help us provide the care that he needs, and without you, this wouldn't be possible. Every single donation counts, nothing is too small or large. Olaf is depending on you, can you be his hero?

Olaf received beyond amazing love and care while staying with our vet! Luckily about a month ago, Olaf was finally healthy enough to be released from the hospital and is now in foster with a staff member.
