Humane Society for Animals, Inc.: Emergency Medical Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

Veterinary expenses to repair a broken leg in a puppy to make her adoptable. The veterinarian suggested that this leg was probably broken some time ago and never repaired correctly.

Our organization has a mission to get all animals in the best shape to be adoptable even if this requires substantial veterinary expenses. The Petfinder Foundation grant helped us with the reimbursement of Hazel's surgery so we could continue to invest in our animals' needs.

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

The puppy (Hazel) came into our shelter with her brother. One of our volunteer dog walkers noticed her brother received a lot of attention from potential adopters while Hazel hopped about on three legs and was overlooked. Hazel had surgery on her leg on Dec. 25, 2019, was spayed on Jan. 3, 2020, and was immediately fostered out to her fairy godmother/dog walker and then adopted on Jan. 5, 2020. Her new family at once relished Hazel’s loving personality when she came into their home.
