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. ...

Tyson is only five years old but has been diagnosed with lymphoma.  His parents love him very much and want the best treatment for him, but chemotherapy is very expensive.  Dr. Sones said this sweet little guy deserved treatment and offered Houndhaven's help to his parents.  They gratefully accepted, and Tyson is now starting his chemotherapy journey.  He looks like a tough guy, but he is really...

Nala waited until she was 10 years old to tear her cruciate ligament. Dr. Tano said she is adorable and sweet and would greatly benefit from TPLO surgery, so, thanks to our donors, we were able to make that happen for Nala. She came through surgery just fine and is now home and beginning her long recuperation period. Hopefully at 10 she is a bit calmer than she used to be and will obey Dr's...

Pepper is 7 years old and somehow managed to tear not one but BOTH cranial cruciate ligaments in her knees! Dr. Tano said she is a sweet dog who deserves to have those ligaments repaired, so she offered our help to the owners. They gratefully accepted (describing Pepper as their soul dog), and Pepper already had her first surgery. She is in recuperation mode now and then will be ready for her...

Mila is eight years old and has cancer. As you can see from the pictures, her dad loves her very much, but the cost of chemotherapy was a little out of reach for him. When Dr. Sones offered our help, he gratefully accepted. We are very happy to be able to help Mila get better so that she can go on more fun adventures with her dad. Thanks to our donors who are making that possible!

Flynn went back to see Dr. Ruddle for another ear ablation in 2026. His poor cocker ears continually are infected, so she needs to remove the ear canal entirely. She removed his first ear canal in 2023, and HH helped with the cost of that $4,000 surgery. That ear no longer causes problems, and it is now time to remove the other canal so it no longer will cause him problems. With the continual...

Princess Kanina tore a cruciate ligament, had surgery, and then six weeks later tore the cruciate ligament in her other back leg!  Houndhaven Helps stepped in to help her get the second surgery, and she is now feeling much better.  Kanina is a bionic little cocker now!

Sweet Cider had the misfortune of tearing BOTH of her cruciate ligaments!  The bill to repair them was expected to be over $10,000 so Dr. Tano offered Cider's parents the help of Houndhaven.  Cider has now had both surgeries, and we are sure Cider will be back running and playing harder than ever in a few months!
