It’s Animal Rights Awareness Week, and Maisie’s story reminds us why this work matters.
When little Maisie arrived at Hearts Alive Village, she carried the weight of unimaginable suffering—painful injuries, medical neglect, and a past no animal should ever endure.
Thanks to our partnership with Clark County Animal Protection Services, our veterinary forensics team was able to document her condition, provide expert findings, and support the case that led to charges against her former owners.
Maisie may have lost an eye, but she gained something far more powerful: a life filled with love, comfort, and safety. Today, she’s a spoiled princess with her own YouTube channel and a forever family that adores her.
Joe Mayo’s support helps animals like Maisie get the second chance they deserve. Now, you can help too.
We’re launching the Paws Fore Justice campaign to raise critical funds for our Veterinary Forensics Program — and thanks to Joe’s generous $10,000 match, every dollar you raise through your personal fundraising page will be doubled between now and July 31st.
🐾 Raise $1,200 to name a kennel at our Decatur Clinic.
⛳ Raise the most and win a virtual golf lesson with Joe Mayo himself!
Because behind every scar is a story that deserves to be told.
And behind every rescued life is someone like you who made it possible.
