Saxon
Saxon is an eight year old Belgian Malinois who is now a retired police dog. He and his mom, a first responder, have an amazing bond, and when Saxon was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, mom used all her savings to get his leg amputated. He now needs chemotherapy and there are no funds left, so Houndhaven Helps stepped in to help Saxon get the chemo he needs to live. Saxon is a smart cookie and...
Willow
Willow is only a few months old, but her vet found that she had a heart murmur. Willow needed an echocardiogram so the cardiologist could assess the severity of the murmur and determine if medicines were needed. Willow's mom had purposely adopted a young dog, thinking that she would have time to recover financially from two senior dogs who recently passed away, but such was not the case. The...
Tokyo
Tokyo is a four year old german shepherd who became very sick with a uterine infection. Immediate surgery was needed, but Tokyo's owner simply couldn't afford it. Houndhaven Helps stepped in and paid half of Tokyo's surgery bill, and we are happy to report that surgery went well. Tokyo is home and feeling much, much better.
Thor
Thor is the adopted "brother" of a couple of HH alums (Aiden and Milo). His wonderful family recently noticed him drooling, and the vet found a big tumor on the far back of his tongue. She was able to remove it with surgery, but when the biopsy showed it was cancer, it was obvious that Thor needed to see an oncologist. HH Helps stepped in and Thor went to see Dr. Sones at Animal Cancer Care...
Cider
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 her first surgery and will have her second as soon as she recuperates from the first. With Dr. Tano's help, we are sure Cider will be back running and playing harder than ever in a few...
Ruby
Little Ruby was diagnosed with melanoma that caused a painful sore in her mouth and had spread to a lymph node creating a mass on her neck. Thankfully it hadn't spread to her lungs. Animal Cancer Care performed the surgery to remove the tumor, but then Ruby needed a series of anti-melanoma vaccines to keep it from returning. On top of the surgery, that was a little more than her owners could...
Mac
Mac has intervertebral disc disease and has had to have Dr. Knight perform several MRIs and surgeries on him. When the last surgery proved to be too expensive for his mom to handle, Houndhaven Helps stepped in to help cover the bill. Little Mac is feeling much better and is very grateful to have relief from his presurgery pain.
Moosy
Moosy has lymphoma AND a fast growing mammary mass that needed to be removed before it got any larger. The owner didn't have the funds for the expensive surgery, but could swing it with some help from Houndhaven. Moosy had surgery 6/17 and Dr. Ruddle was able to remove the 5 lb mass and also a smaller mass that was obstructing Moosy's breathing. Her dad says she is feeling much better now! ...
Bentley
Bentley was a naughty boy and ate something he shouldn't. It caused an obstruction, and Bentley needed emergency care to remove the foreign body. Dr. Peck was called in to save Bentley from himself, but his owners couldn't afford the expensive surgery they were facing. Dr. Peck called on Houndhaven for help, and we were happy to oblige so that Bentley could have life saving surgery. Bentley...
Hunter
Hunter has horrible allergies. He is on year round dermatology care just to try to keep him comfortable. The expenses of this are not insubstantial, and HH Helps is honored to help his dad give Hunter the care he deserves and needs so badly.
Mr. Bojangles
Poor Mr. Bojangles had a large mass in his ear. We helped him get it surgically removed, but the entire mass could not be excised, so it is growing back. We are helping his mom get him the ongoing treatment he needs so that he can continue to enjoy life despite his ear issue. If another surgery becomes necessary, we stand ready to help, but for now it can be managed without surgery.
Cody
Cody has suffered with chronic ear infections, and the only solution to his problem is to remove both ear canals. Needless to say, this is an expensive procedure, and his mom needed some help getting this done for Cody. Dr. Ruddle employed the help of Houndhaven, and Cody has now had his first surgery. He is expected to get a lot of relief from the constant itching, burning and aching he has...
