HART often rescues dogs or cats that are in desperate need of medical care.
Many of the dogs and cats will need to be housed for several weeks before they
can appear on the web pages and be adopted. The veterinary care is
expensive and we must rely on your donations to cover the costs.
A special donation or
sponsorship to help with some of these costs would mean a lot to one of
these "special" guys - and to HART. Or maybe you can help in another way.
Do you have some free time? Would you be willing to
foster a special dog or cat and gain the satisfaction of nursing him/her
back to health? Or maybe you are available to
transport them to and from vet visits.
These are all wonderful animals
looking for a little extra help.
Dewy

If you are looking for a very special bonded pair, do yourself a favor and keep reading! These boys are brothers from another mother. Both kittens were born with special needs-Scooby is a "CH" or cerebellar hypoplasia kitty, and Dewy, or Dewy Dynamo as his foster mom likes to call him, was born deaf.
Scooby was the first of this pair to come into HART's care. He was a tiny little fellow who had not yet learned to walk. But Scooby didn't let that bring him down. With determination and help from his loving foster family, Scooby is now able to walk on his own! He is so much fun to watch when he jumps and plays! But kittens need playmates and Scooby didn't have one. Then one day HART got a call. Could we take a wee kitten who has some neurological symptoms. We were so glad that we said yes. When Scooby met Dewy, it was love at first sight! They are the best of friends, and find so much joy in each other.
We believe that CH kitties are incredibly special beings. They bond so well with their humans, and seem to maintain their 'inner kitten' for a lifetime.
We encourage you to learn all about CH prior to applying Here is more info on cerrebellar hypoplasia

Min Twins

This adorable special needs pair has everyone that meets them falling in love with them. Miss Maggie is so sweet and friendly. She loves to explore and enjoys attention, cuddles and love from humans. What strangers?? Everyone is her best bud! Mr Magoo came in with Miss Maggie and he is blind and mostly deaf, for this reason we thinks its important that he stay with Miss Maggie who has been his constant. Despite decreased senses he still gets very excited for his meal time and loves getting attention and pets from people. He would love nothing more then to be a lap dog and or be carried around like the little prince he is.

Tiff
|
Tiff is a friendly and affectionate snuggle bug who LOVES people - even the vet, whose face she licked while being examined! She is easy to fall in love with and has captured many hearts. She loves going on walks, lying outside in the sun, and snuggling of course. She sometimes does her best lap dog impression!
Tiff is wonderful with kids! She is in a foster home with a 4 year old boy and has spent time with other small kids as well. She is house trained and crate trained. She loves sleeping with her people at night but also does fine sleeping in a crate. She does fine being home alone for the work day with a mid-day walk. She gets along best with submissive dogs and did fine with the 8 lb dog in her previous foster home. She loves being the only dog in her current foster home.
Tiff has a rare heart condition but she is doing great - she is currently asymptomatic and not on any medication, and we hope this will be the case until she is a senior. She also has glaucoma which is stable. She gets eye drops twice a day which she patiently sits still for. She has some vision loss but gets around very well, including in new places, and she has had no problem navigating a home with stairs.

Rumple
Meet "Rumple"! This beautiful cat was found outside as a stray, covered in fleas and having had to defend herself against predators. She is a tailless Manx breed, which are known to be smart, very affectionate, to get along with children, and very loyal. Rumple's foster mom agrees with this...she is followed everywhere when Rumple is not basking in the sun or sitting on the couch or her lap. Rumple loves to just hang with her people, explore and play, take naps, watch squirrels...well, she IS a happy cat!
Rumple has moderate Manx Syndrome, in which a few bones in her lower spine are missing along with her tail. It gives her a unique walking gait and adds to her charm. She has minor incontinence, which her foster says does not slow her down or cause much mess. Come meet this special girl!
