What a difference a few days can make. 💕 We welcomed Bones into the HOP family last week - underweight by over 20 lbs, unsure of his surroundings, and having just come from shelter where he was required to stay several days because he was a stray. The gift we can give - fostering matters! ❤️
When dinner is obviously not being prepared quickly enough....
Nothing makes our hearts squeeze with more love than watching our seniors feel so happy and puppyish in their golden years. 🥰
Have you ever seen a sadder girl? Stormy is going to our foster home with Loni Cadmus Willey this weekend.
Short video of Hubert on his travels today. Poor guy looks pathetic.
Welcome to HOP, Crunchy and Cricket! 🥰 These two sweet senior boys started their journey yesterday from Mississippi and are exploring their new HOP home and yard this morning.
A whole new life started for them in February when they and other animals were seized by animal control in Mississippi. Emaciated, missing fur from horrible fleas, and painfully struggling to walk after spending their days in cramped cages, Cricket and Crunchy have not known much love or care. But their committed local rescuers and now their HOP family are going to help them make up for lost time. ❤️
Zoe is home from the hospital! She did very well during her FHO hip surgery and has immediately shown encouraging signs. As she carefully steps and hops along, she already has been able to uncross her back legs and put a little weight on her leg. ❤️
We are still about $1,000 away from covering her surgery cost. Could you be one of her angels and help HOP with this unexpected cost?

Sally wanted to tell everyone how excited she was to be leaving the hospital and that she has had her final mammary tumor surgery!! She's had a tough go of it - removal of both mammary chains, a complex spay, and correction of two separate hernias. Share the happy news, Sally!! 💕
Sally doing great - such a happy girl. 🥰 Not sure any of us would be doing those leg kicks just a week out from extensive surgery!!
Anna is doing GREAT in her hydro-therapy!! 💕 She is getting SO much stronger. Yesterday Anna galloped across the house, and you never would have known how she painfully scuffled along just a few weeks ago. You made this happen, HOP family!! ❤️
Anna has left the building!! Earlier this evening we busted Anna out of the hospital, and she's now resting at home.
A few tears (of joy!) were shed as she walked to the car - this is the very first time we've seen her walk fully upright. 🥰
Next steps are now recovery from surgery, and then hydro-therapy to re-build muscle around that reconstructed knee. If you want to see what a difference surgery has already made for Anna, watch the additional video (taken pre-surgery) in the Comments. Thank you for making this day possible! 💕
