Hobo's Healing Heart

Hobo's Healing Heart A 501(c)3 charity aiding pet owners in the Black Hills of SD with emergency vet care & cremation care
(8)

The goal of Hobo’s Healing Heart is to better the lives of companion and work animals by providing financial assistance to owners whose animal needs emergency or diagnostic veterinary care. We seek to prevent animal owners from having to make the decision to euthanize or surrender their pet due to the financial burden of such care. While Pet Insurance can often provide assistance with veterinary b

ills, there are currently few, if any, programs available to help with extraordinary costs associated with sick or injured animals. Unfortunately in many cases these animals are euthanized or surrendered to shelters as families are not equipped to handle the enormous costs that can come with both diagnostic testing and emergency veterinary care treatment. We consider companion and work animals to be family, as such, Hobo’s Healing Heart seeks to help relieve the burden of the financial and emotional hardships of caring for a sick or injured companion or work animal. Our hope is that by doing so, we will also reduce the number of animals with medical issues being surrendered to already overburdened shelters or needlessly euthanized. Costs are an inevitable part of the responsibility of owning companion and work animals, however, emergencies and illness can happen and the costs associated can be quite expensive for animal owners. This often results in animals being euthanized or needlessly suffering. Hobo’s Healing Heart assists owners with emergency and diagnostic veterinary care costs beyond the typical expenses of owning an animal. There are agencies such as Medicaid to help assist low-income families with emergency medical care for human children and adults, however, there are no agencies to provide assistance with unexpected emergency or diagnostic expenses for the veterinary care of an animal.

We dare you to tackle the most (second) demanding course known to... well, a neighborhood cookout!

We dare you to not get lost! This is the second toughest race in the hills, or at least the hardest to finish without laughing! 🤣🏃‍♀️🏃

THE REGISTRATION:
Your $10 registration fee, paid at the door, includes a pint of liquid courage for those aged 21 and over. After all, conquering a "race" of this magnitude deserves a toast. Champions need their spoils! 🥇🍺 Every participant is automatically entered into a drawing for a door prize valued between $25-$50! Will you be the one to claim victory and go home with bragging rights? Bring your furry friends, unleash your little rascals, and let's turn this "race" into a family affair. It's the only race where everyone can be a winner, even if they finish last.

THE CAUSE:
Unleash your inner hero! Whether you're a two-legged champ or a four-legged sprinter, our course awaits your legendary feat. While our event may poke fun at traditional races, our mission is serious. We're raising funds for families in the Black Hills to ensure their beloved pets receive emergency care or the dignified farewell they deserve. 🐕🐩🐈🐈‍⬛

07/02/2024

Blue-green algae is a killer. It is found in lakes and slow-moving water. It thrives in waters with high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus (aka fertilizer). It prefers warm, calm, sunny weather and water temperatures higher than 75°F. Blooms usually occur during summer and early fall, but can occur other times of the year, if conditions are right.

WHEN IN DOUBT, STAY OUT!

For PET OWNERS that take their dogs to lakes and creeks, please read this warning from Morgan & Patrick Fleming.

This morning we thought, it’s so hot! Let’s go to the lake! We took our sweet Arya to the lake and had the best day playing ball and swimming around! About 30 minutes later on the drive home, we noticed her making weird noises and she threw up and pooped in the car. We called our vet on the drive and they suggested we take her in. By this point our girl couldn’t even stand. They told us she was in critical condition so we took her to the ER. By the time we got there, she was brain dead. Today was absolutely awful. We lost our fun, loving, and crazy girl to what we can only assume was a lake toxin such as blue green algae. Arya, no dog will ever replace you in our hearts. We already miss you more than you could know. I hope you’re running around like a wild girl with all the other boarder collies in doggo heaven ♥️

The rules regarding fireworks are in place for many reasons. This is one of them. Please be courteous of your two- and four-legged neighbors and follow the laws. This incident could have ended in a very tragic way. Thank you to those who helped rescue this dog.

Update from Clyde’s mom!!

Clyde starts 15 min walks 3x/day tomorrow. it’s been 3 weeks since surgery. He had his 2 week recheck on the 20th. No more cone of shame, antibiotics are finished and no more sedative. Incision is all healed up. The vet and techs were floored with how well he walked into the waiting room. Couldn’t believe he just had surgery.

Next check will be in July for follow up x rays to ensure radiographic union of the bone.
