Helping Each Animal Rescued Today and Tomorrow
HEARTT’S Impact Report
This year, with the support of our community, we’ve given hope to over 120 animals, including forgotten seniors, injured survivors, and overlooked special-needs pets, helping them find the loving homes they deserve and changing their lives forever.
Three-Legged and Fearless: Gigi’s Journey from Abandonment to Resilience
Gigi was brought to us after a landlord found her discarded in a recently vacated apartment. At the time, it appeared she had a bite wound to her back leg, but was later diagnosed as shot-site carcinoma, which can sometimes develop after a vaccine. Her leg was amputated in an attempt to prevent the cancer from spreading. Despite having just three legs, Ms. Gigi is a sassy, talkative little girl who loves her naps and enjoys getting plenty of pets from our volunteers!
Meet Walter:
Walter is over 10 years old and was surrendered by his owner, who was being evicted and had no place to take him. At the time of his surrender, it was unknown that Walter was both diabetic and in kidney failure—a challenging combination to manage. While Walter now enjoys plenty of pets and has countless cozy beds to curl up in at the shelter, his health conditions can be costly to treat. If you’d like to help us provide ongoing care for Walter, please consider making a donation or sponsoring Walter!
