OK, you cat lovers, here's one for you. Biggie slipped out of the house and when he reemerged, he had a fractured leg. Dr. Peck repaired it, but it wasn't healing properly so it had to be amputated. The expense of two surgeries was too much for his owners, so Dr. Peck selected Biggie to get help from Houndhaven. This was a one time exception to the "dogs only" rule to accommodate Dr. Peck's big...

Teddy Bear has an immune disorder called pemphigus foliaceus and needs large amounts of drugs to even partially control his disease.  Dr. Schwassman suspects there may be cancer internally that is triggering the disease.  We are helping Teddy get chest radiographs and an abdominal ultrasound to determine what is going on.  If there is a tumor that can be removed, then the skin disease should...

CoCo was at Orange Co. Animal Services with a carpal (wrist) injury. That is not a position in which you would want to find yourself. But the heavens were smiling on CoCo that day because a lovely couple came in and fell in love with CoCo's sweet nature. Although they are on a fixed income and they knew about the injury, they decided to rescue CoCo anyway and figure out how to get her wrist...

Largo is a HH alum who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago.  He has had a myriad of other medical issues as well, and his mama has diligently treated them all.  She finally reached the end of her pet insurance and her ability to pay the full price for treatment.  Largo is still doing well, so we want to help him continue to get the help he needs.  He is a patient of Animal Cancer Care Clinic...

What could make a former Marine cry? Having a beloved dog who needs more then $13,000 of surgery. Although he didn't actually cry when faced with this news, he did let out a heavy resigned sigh. It was enough to make Dr. Tano conclude that Dixie should become a HH Helps dog. Dixie tore BOTH cruciate ligaments and is an excellent candidate for the life-improving surgery. She also is sweet as...

Sage, an Australian Shepherd, has a fracture of her humerus caused by jumping off the couch and needs orthopedic surgery.

Missy is an ex-police dog who also was just diagnosed with lymphoma. Her owners recently got her when she was retired from working

Bentley, a French Bulldog, who although young, has been diagnosed with lymphoma

Look at this gorgeous and precious boy! Sweet Loki definitely has looks going for him, but he also has chronic anal fistulas. They have really been giving him and his mama fits, so Dr. Schwassman decided it was time to bring in HH Helps and try to get to the bottom of it (no pun intended). Loki has been in twice in the last week for testing, and he is now on two powerful (and expensive)...

Molly's pet sitter let her get loose while her parents were out of town, and she somehow ended up with a femur fracture. The owners authorized surgery, but Molly ended up needing a blood transfusion also, which was not in the budget. Dr. Peck felt it was appropriate to use HH Helps to pay for the transfusion so he could be sure that Molly would have the red blood cells needed to make it through...

And our Houndhaven Helps family keeps growing! Here is sweet Miss Bella, the latest addition. She is a shih tzu mix who developed an eye ulcer (from a scratch most likely). Her dad was faithfully taking her to their regular vet, but the ulcer kept getting worse so she was referred to Dr. Priehs at Animal Eye Associates in Maitland. Dad couldn't afford the entire bill because he has spent so much...

Foxy's owners found her on the road about a year ago. They ended up at the doggie dermatologist because of a growth on her ear. It turned out to be malignant, and Foxy needed a total ear ablation. The young couple didn't have the thousands of dollars it would take to do this, and at the time there was no one to help. Fast forward a year, and they came back to see Dr. Schwassman at Veterinary...
