Percy somehow made his way onto the roof (how is a mystery) and proceeded to jump off.  A nasty fracture resulted and Dr. Peck's specialty surgical skills were called for.  He reached out to Houndhaven Helps because the owners couldn't afford the surgery on their own, and we agreed to pay a portion so that Percy could have the needed surgery.  Percy is now on the mend, and his owners are keeping...

Meet Chase. He was a stray who was blessed to be picked up by a Good Samaritan. They took immediately had him vaccinated, tested for heartworms and got him on heartworm prevention. They then took him to Dr. Tano so she could fix his broken leg. This guy has won the lottery with his new owners, and it makes us happy to be able to assist him on his new journey through our Houndhaven Helps program....

Malia was diagnosed by Dr. Tano as having a torn cruciate ligament in her knee.  The only real remedy is surgical repair which was out of reach for her owner.  HH Helps stepped in, and Malia got her surgery.  She is expected to make a full recovery, and we are delighted!

Peanut had urethral surgery and his owners paid $8,500 for the surgery, showing how dear Peanut is to them.  Shortly thereafter, Peanut's body developed a urethral obstruction and needed surgery again.  Dr. Peck needed help for the owners and reached out to HH Helps.  We were delighted to step in and help Peanut and his deserving parents get the second surgery.  Peanut should now feel much...

Nova (fka Chocolate, HH class of 2022) was dizzy and had a head tilt.  She went to Dr. Knight for an MRI and then to Dr. Schwassman for a deep ear cleaning.  The culprit was not a tumor but a lot of nasty stuff in Nova's inner ear.  The cost of the MRI and ear cleaning was more than dad could handle alone, so HH Helps paid the rest.  We expect Nova to be feeling much better now that her middle...

London has terrible allergies that his owner couldn't afford to treat, so HH Helps stepped in to help London.  He is doing better but needs ongoing care by Dr. Schwassman.  As you can see in the photo, London is a good boy and let's Leo the cat eat and play with him!  His dad says Leo helps keep London's mind off of his allergies.  🙂

Welcome to the HH Helps family, Xena! Dr. Schwassman contacted us for help when Xena presented with a large growth blocking the entrance to her ear. Her owner had rescued her from a previous owner who was not taking care of her. She came not only with the growth but also awful teeth. Her owner already took care of a dental cleaning and 11 extractions, so we agreed to help with the cost of her...

Chance is a lovely boy who, unfortunately, has some very unlovely allergies. His mom is a teacher and ran out of his allergy vaccine injections over the summer and couldn't afford to refill them. His allergies are flaring, and Dr. Schwassman felt he needed help NOW, so she asked Houndhaven Helps to step in. She said the owner is a great owner, and Chance is a great dog, so we are happy to help...

We are sorry to report that one of our own (Zeke, HH class of 2018) is our newest Houndhaven Helps recipient. Zeke has an aggressive form of lymphoma whose prognosis is 1-2 months without chemotherapy, 4-6 months with chemo. Dr. Sones and Zeke's owners have chosen a conservative chemo for Zeke's sake and to be cost conscious. Although we cannot cure Zeke, or even give him a lot of time with his...

Bruno went to visit Dr. Tano, and he was diagnosed with not one, but TWO torn cruciate ligaments! That will require two separate surgeries and a correspondingly huge vet bill. Dr. Tano wanted to help Bruno be able to walk comfortably again, so she offered our help to the owners. They were very grateful for the assistance HH Helps could provide thanks to our wonderful donors. Bruno has had his...

Jaxon is a happy golden retriever (aren't they all) who just turned 7 years old. See birthday photo with his family, including golden sister "Daisy". Unfortunately, this handsome boy was recently diagnosed with cancer. The good news is that he has an excellent oncologist, Dr. Evan Sones of Animal Cancer Care Clinic. The bad news is that his treatment is going to be very expensive for a...

Diesel came all the way from Palm Bay to see Dr. Schwassman, and we are so glad he did because he has some nasty looking skin and ears. Diesel is now getting the relief he needs thanks to our donors and Veterinary Dermatology Center. Diesel will be an ongoing case, but he is already more comfortable than he was!
