REST IN PEACE, LUNA (2019-2026)

We’re sorry to have to announce that Luna, the beautiful Basenji we tried to help recently, had to be euthanized two days ago. 💔

Her family first contacted us during the summer because she was losing a lot of weight and they couldn’t afford to have any diagnostics run.

Heavenly Creatures paid for diagnostics, she was prescribed a steroid and it initially seemed as though she was faring better.

However, that didn’t last long and she continued to waste.

When she went completely downhill earlier this week, the family made the only real choice that was left.

Luna’s Grandmother Says:

“We are all shattered, but she went into rapid decline.

I know you feel our loss and we have resolved that she is at peace now.

In her better days, she was a force and the heartbeat of our family!

And I know you pulled out all the stops to help heal Luna, we will never forget you! May God bless you and the work that you do! 🙏 🙏 🙏 “

Run free, Sweet Girl. We’re sorry that we couldn’t make you well again, but know you’re in a place now where there is no suffering and hope to see you again one day.

DAISY UPDATE: GOOD NEWS ❤️

Thanks to our wonderful supporters, Daisy had her toe amputation yesterday and was spayed simultaneously.

We’re happy to be able to report that she is back home with her mom recovering.

Sincere thanks to everyone who contributed so that this dear little dog - who recently turned six - received a chance.

It would have been awful had her tumour continued to become bigger and bigger owing to her mom not being able to afford the thousands needed for her care.

Three cheers for the community rallying in compassion for a creature - and the person who loves her - in need.

DAISY UPDATE - ABOUT $2000 LEFT TO RAISE

*We’re reposting Daisy’s appeal surgery funds appeal as there is still about $2000 left to raise.

VERY URGENT: PLEASE SHARE!

DAISY NEEDS AMPTUTATION SURGERY
- ONLY TWO DAYS TO RAISE THE MONEY!

*There is a picture in the comments section of Daisy’s tumour.

This beloved little dog has a tumour on her
paw that her mom can’t afford to have removed 💔

How awful to have to watch your pet’s tumour grow and not be able to do anything about it - that’s what Daisy’s mom has been going through. 😿

We’ve seen her proof of income and she couldn’t begin to afford this expensive surgery.

Daisy is only six; she could have many more years if this is dealt with quickly.

Daisy has what is called a “nail bed tumour,” and needs her toe removed as a result. We don’t yet know whether it is cancerous; it will be biopsied after the fact.

We only found out yesterday that she could have surgery on Monday. It has to be done on MONDAY coming if it’s going to be anytime soon as the surgeon is going to away for a while after that. 😬

The cost that HC has been quoted is $3456.57 to $4285.15, which means we have to raise almost $4300 to ensure that it is covered.

HC is looking after such a lot of animals that we can’t afford to pay for the surgery unless the funds are raised.

If it is cancer, the longer it is left untreated, the more chance of metastasis there is. This needs to be dealt with now.

Please help us help Daisy get the surgery she so desperately needs. She doesn’t deserve to have her life cut short over lack of funds. Her mom has a lot of love for her, but doesn’t have the means to save her baby.

UPDATE: KODA HAS FOUND A HOME!

SWEET SENIOR HUSKY WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY NEEDS RETIREMENT HOME

*Please note: Koda is NOT IN HC’s care. We are merely helping to spread the word about him for his current family. If you interested in Koda and have any questions about him, please contact 709-764-1648.

KODA’S OWNER SAYS:

Koda is an 8-year-old Husky/Malamute mix who is genuinely a wonderful, sweet, and gentle giant.

He has never shown any signs of aggression and is great with children and cats. He also does well with other dogs and has so many qualities that make him an amazing companion.

Koda’s primary challenge is separation anxiety.

When left alone for more than short periods, he experiences distress, which can lead to barking, crying, and howling. He thrives on companionship and would benefit greatly from an environment where someone is home with him the majority of the time.

Efforts have been made to manage Koda’s separation anxiety through veterinary appointments, medications such as Gabapentin and Anafranil, pheromone diffusers, leaving the radio on, playing television shows, and other techniques to help him feel more comfortable when alone. While some approaches have resulted in slight improvements, his anxiety remains a challenge for his current owner to continue managing given a recent but unavoidable change to their personal circumstances.

Despite this, Koda is a gentle and affectionate dog who has so much love to give. He deserves a patient and understanding foster home that can provide him with companionship, reassurance, and a supportive environment while continuing to work with him on his separation anxiety.

We are hoping to find Koda an adoptive home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported.

The ideal home would have someone available to spend plenty of time with him and understand the patience and commitment required to help a dog struggling with separation anxiety.

As long as he is not alone, Koda will relax and settle in just about any environment.

Koda has so many wonderful qualities, and we hope to find someone willing to look beyond his anxiety to give this sweet boy the opportunity to thrive.”

Again, Koda is not in HC’s care. If you think you can provide the right home for him, please contact his dad at 709-764-1648.

Poor Job’s kidneys aren’t a hundred percent anymore and he’s dehydrated at the moment which has led to constipation.

Please help us get this sweet boy through this rough patch.

TOM-TOM’S TRICKS

We mentioned in our post last week about Tom-Tom (who was adopted from us earlier this year), that he is - as his mom calls him - a “Smarty Pants” who has learned quite a few tricks since being adopted.

Check out his clever self!
