HART often rescues dogs or cats that are in desperate need of medical care.
Many of the dogs and cats will need to be housed for several weeks before they
can appear on the web pages and be adopted. The veterinary care is
expensive and we must rely on your donations to cover the costs.
A special donation or
sponsorship to help with some of these costs would mean a lot to one of
these "special" guys - and to HART. Or maybe you can help in another way.
Do you have some free time? Would you be willing to
foster a special dog or cat and gain the satisfaction of nursing him/her
back to health? Or maybe you are available to
transport them to and from vet visits.
These are all wonderful animals
looking for a little extra help.
Fritz

Poor Fritz! He was dumped at a local shelter after a friend of a friend could no longer care for him. His coat is a gorgeous white and he has one green eye and one blue eye. This boy is SUPER friendly, flopping on his back for special belly rubs. He will talk to you as well. He's a large boy, about the size of a small beagle, but he's light on his feet and very loving. If you're ready to fall in love with the perfect kitty, come meet Fritz. Fritz has tested positive for FIV.

Farley
|
Farley came to HART with 2 other Poms (Champ and Chase) from a West Virginia puppy mill. The authorities are trying to shut the mill down and to avoid being caught with too many dogs, the owner is dumping dogs a few at a time at rural shelters. Farley's beautiful Sable coat was all matted and a lot had to be cut but he loves being brushed every day to keep his coat from matting agan. Farley is deaf and blind so will need a little extra attention. He is slow and cautious in his movement but he is ready to explore - especially in the yard. Despite everything, he is a very sweet dog and gets along just fine. He loves a soft bed to curl up in. Farley deserves to have a loving forever home and realize how great it is to be a dog.

Misty

Misty is a special kitty. She was rescued from a rural kill shelter just in the nick of time but unfortunately she is Feline Leukemia positive. Misty is a gorgeous short-haired silver tabby girl who loves to play as well as to snuggle and cuddle with her humans. She is young and full of energy. Even though she has tested positive for this disease it is possible that she will live a long and healthy life. At HART we believe every cat deserves a loving home, even those who test positive for Feline Leukemia. Many cats can live normal, healthy lives despite testing positive for FeLV, although in some cases it does shorten the cat's life. Feline leukemia (FeLV) is transmissible to other cats, but not to people or other types of pets. For more information about feline leukemia, please visit this Feline Leukemia link.Could you be the angel who watches over this precious little girl? Pictures of Misty!

Cinnamon

I have led a hard life. That's why I look a bit rough around the edges. Some nice people discovered me living in a sewer drain outside a grocery store. Sheesh, I'd hit rock bottom. They brought me home and took care of me for a few weeks until HART could take me in. I'm not saying my age, but the vet says I've probably got a decade behind me. The vet also found me to be FIV+ but I can still have many good years to come, in the right home.

Dot

I am a special little lady who needs a loving home. I will be a good companion to you. I like to be near my people, lying next to you or in your lap. I still enjoy playtime, too. The laser pointer makes me very happy! How sad that I've recently become diabetic and am losing my family, too. I hope I will find a caring person who will give me the love and care I need.

Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist, one of HART's diabetic cats, recently experienced a life-threatening diabetic crisis called ketoacidosis which resulted in high blood glucose levels and dehydration from his body trying to rid itself of the excessive glucose through the kidneys. Oliver has been hospitalized at HOPE since Sunday, August 9th, for intensive care to carefully lower his blood glucose levels and re-stabilize his electrolytes.
It is estimated that HART’s medical expenses for this incident will be over $7000. Oliver required nearly around-the-clock care to receive short-term acting insulin every four hours and fluids to combat the dehydration.
HART's vet bills are already huge and we need your help now more than ever. Please consider sponsoring Oliver to help defray his medical expenses!
