We have always supported our military families as MHIY was formed after a property was purchased after the ultimate sacrifice was made. We rent that property and are able to house the animals in our care in a heated and airconditioned building.
I am posting this video for those who know us and have come together to support MHIY and our family during unimaginable struggles all the while caring for the animals in our care without a single paycheck.
For 2 months, our son Christopher was in San Antonio Tx at BMT. I cannot imagine what he endured, and I do not want to take away from his experience. However, his leaving just 2 days after graduation was difficult. My heart felt unwhole, broken, missing a piece. I missed his jokes, our evening chats and his hugs.
I just wanted to share with you, the moment we were able to see our son after 8 long weeks (only 3 calls that entire time including the 2 min scripted call), and the moment our family was made whole again.
The moment his Aunt was able to witness him walking in his Uncles shoes and the moment he became a Guardian.
These two cuties are so playful and so sweet!!!!
They are under a year old and available for adoption.
If interested, please EMAIL [email protected] or visit our website myhopesinyou.org.
Dis you know we have several pairs of chinchillas available for adoption??
At HVARS's Fall Festival!
Hope everyone is ok! Several trees down and they all just barely missed the animals. The driveway is a mess...but all the critters and people are safe .
I have a few Valentines that I am going to post ...but I just had to show you the challenge I was facing while making the new orders !!! Jed is making his presence known!
Thank you Melanie S and Valerie L. for sponsoring Valentines!!!!
In case you have been wondering where I have been......our last rescue effort of 2022 has had me up to the wee hours of the morning working on socializing these tiny hearts :) Total of 19 plus Joey's in pouch.
Currently, three males have been neutered and ready for adoption. All females on hold until pregnancy watch is over. Baby girls will be available soon.
I posted 2nd video below in comments
Mama Chin had her babies!!!!
Looks like this mama chin from the Bronx rescue is sooo thankful that she is sharing her baby(ies) kicks with us.
Any guesses on what day she will give birth and how many?
You guys are killing me! We haven't heard from Tractor Supply yet but the top 4 winners are to be announced on the or about the 27th...which is tomorrow!
While we are praying we have a shot at this, we have been working hard to continue to help as many animals as we can. We have a few more Guinea pigs, 4 rabbits and about 8 more chinchillas coming. We hope this grant can assist with this, however, we are asking all of you to consider donating toward spay/neuter and other medical costs that are upcoming.
We have been told by so many that our supporters are truly #1....and I cannot agree more! You all keep this rescue running! It's your support! You all are just as much a part of MHIY as I am. We are so very happy to have each and every one of you as a part of our rescue family!
Keep those ears crossed!
Video for cuteness!!!

Medicating Koosh.... lots of fun! This happens 2x a day.
Haven't heard from me? It is because most of the day I am cleaning, feeding or medicating :)
Phone call is easiest almost all the time :)
MEDICAL UPDATES
I lost one of rhe abandoned/neglected sugargliders. The second one is now off subq fluids and eating/drinking on its own. We will get to Dr. Santiago soon.
Silken the sugarglider went in for xrays and we were able to confirm she has a deformity that causes her eye to sink in. Her eye is perfect otherwise.
Koosh the hedgehog has a condition that over produces a sebaceous substance that has caused infection. He is on a round of antibiotics in hopes of saving his leg. His tail is looking great now!
Cobe, one of the 12 babies rescued from a shed upstate, was diagnosed with megacolon. It looks like most of the babies and sweet mom have it too. This is not something that can be cured but rather managed. They will need special homes and special food during their time here. This does leave my heart very heavy.
The chinchillas from the city are a sight to be seen. of 12 rescued only 8 were left when I got down there. I picked up 2 babies, 2 adults and 3 juveniles from the looks of things. While there is a mama chin attempting to care for the tiny baby, she does not have milk. I am feeding the baby but allowing the mom to stay with for comfort for both of them. We had several samples taken. No mites were found and hair shafts completely intact. We cultured for fungus and will have results 5-10 days.
I am doing my best to respond to everyone but I have multiple critters that must come first.
Thank you all who have donated ....this has been a really rough start to the month!
