Sweet little Yingling developed a malignant tumor on his mandible that was displacing his teeth. When Dr. Ruddle found out that the owner was selling his blood in order to pay for Yingling's surgery, she asked Houndhaven Helps to step in.  We did, and her owner couldn't be more grateful!  The surgery went well, and Yingling is now having injections to keep the tumor from regrowing.  Keep up the...

This dachshund was having back pain and was having trouble walking.  He went to see Dr. Knight who recommended that she remove some bony tissue thaat was pressing against his spine.  His owners wanted to proceed, but they were financially unable to do so.  Dr. Knight suggested Houndhaven Helps, and they gratefully accepted.  Because of our generous donors we were able to get the neurological...

This little guy developed a malignant tumor.  Dr. Ruddle was able to remove it but felt that electrochemotherapy would be beneficial.  His owners had used their savings to pay for the surgery and needed a bit of help to pay for the chemo.  Dr. Ruddle offered them Houndhaven Helps, and they gratefully agreed as Fulo was a cherished family member, as well as PTSD therapy dog for his veteran dad. ...

This handsome guy tore his cruciate ligament and needed to have it repaired.  He was blessed to be Dr. Tano's last patient before she retired.  She fixed him right up, and he should be back to normal by now, as long as he behaved himself after surgery!  We were happy to help Ozzie get this done so that he could resume an active life, free of pain!

Zena was vomiting, refusing to eat and feeling very lethargic.  Her parents didn't know what could be wrong so they took her to the Veterinary Emergency Clinic.  Thankfully, they knew what was wrong after doing some testing--she had Addison's Disease and was in crisis.  To get her better, she needed several days in hospital, and that was more than her sad parents could afford.  When Houndhaven...

Sadie decided that her dad's sock looked yummy.  So she ate it.  She later regretted her decision when she had to be rushed to the Veterinary Emergency Clinic to have the sock surgically removed because it had caused a blockage.  Her dad is a young guy without a ton of resources, but he was willing to max out his credit card and Care credit to get Sadie her surgery.  When Houndhaven Helps found...

Honey somehow (she's not talking) managed to fracture the humurous in her leg.  Funds were tight, but Dr. Tano knew she would have a good prognosis with surgery.  Houndhaven Helps stepped in to make surgery possible, and Honey is now home and doing great!!

Being a self-respecting lab, Molly, when a guest moved some tubes of contractor glue to the floor, decided that she should taste it. Apparently contractor glue tastes pretty good to a one year old black lab because she consumed quite a lot of it.  Needless to say, Molly became very sick as the glue solidified around her mouth and in her stomach. Her owners rushed her to VEC, but funds were...

Rosie is a sweet pitbull mix who was adopted from animal control. Unfortunately, she wasn't vaccinated for leptospirosis and got sick with it shortly after coming home. Fortunately, she was adopted by wonderful people who did not return her to be euthanized but undertook treatment. She has been in and out of her regular vet's office and the Veterinary Emergency Clinic for three weeks due to...

Poor Brownie tore the cruciate ligament in one of her knees. Surgery is in the $7,000+ range, which was more than her owner could afford. Dr. Tano felt that Brownie and her owner were worthy of help, so she offered Houndhaven Helps. Brownie's owner gratefully accepted, and Brownie got the tplo surgery she needed. If she is a good girl during her recuperation period (hear that, Brownie??), she is...

We helped Ruby get melanoma vaccines to prevent her cancer from progressing further, or at the very least, to slow it down. Her mom tells her story best: I'm the owner of this beautiful, precious sweet soul that I've had the honor of caring for for the last 10 years. I rescued her when she was 3 1/2 yo & my life has never been the same since. Ruby has been bringing joy to my life since the...

Cody came from a terrible environment but found a wonderful family in 2014.  He spent the first week on the bed, his safe space, but slowly came out of his shell as he realized he was loved.  He still has some trust issues with people but loves other dogs.  He is always up for a walk, a snack (especially) or simply lying in the sun.  He is a snuggler and he is a lover of life and family. ...
