We wanted to update everyone on Olive. She was released last night and spent the evening taking it easy. She mostly laid around chewing on one of her toys. She does appear to have vision impairment and balance issues again. This also occurred after the seizures she had when we first took her in. We are hopeful that they will improve over time as they did before.
Olive is now on multiple medications for the seizures. She takes them three times a day. It will take a week or so for her to get used to the new dosage and new medication, so she might not get back to her full throttle self for a bit. We can’t wait until we see toys being thrown all over the house again though.
Olive’s neurology consult and testing is scheduled for Monday, March 10 at PVSEC with Dr MacKillop. We are praying that we get some answers as to what’s wrong with Olive at this appointment. We are committed to helping her and giving her the life she deserves.
🥰🐾Thank you so much to all of our supporters!!!! You are the best! We could not be providing care to dogs like Olive without your help! You are truly the foundation of this rescue! 🐾🥰
Olive needs help!
🚨 Olive Needs Your Help! 🚨
Last night, our sweet Olive suffered the worst cluster seizures we’ve seen yet. Even after she had been given two doses of emergency medication, the seizures did not stop. She then had to be rushed to the emergency vet in Pittsburgh. We know we have been fundraising to get Olive a neurology consult/MRI, which is scheduled for March 10, but this sudden crisis couldn’t wait. Now the emergency care she needed last night has completely drained our available funds, and we need your help to continue her fight. Olive is currently hospitalized at VEG Pittsburgh. They have started her on new medication (in addition to what she was currently on), so she is receiving fluids and loading doses of phenobarbital. The seizures were so severe that they also caused mild pulmonary edema in Olive’s lungs. She is being closely monitored due to the severity of the situation.
💔 Watching this tiny soul suffer was heartbreaking, but we weren’t going to let her face it alone. We are so sorry we are asking again, but we need you to stand with us and help cover the emergency vet bills so we can continue to give Olive the care she desperately needs.

Olive is cute as a button and she plays nonstop. For the most part she is feeling a lot better, but she is still having seizures. She had an extremely violent seizure the other night that was recorded, so we were able to show it to the vet. Her medication has been increased and she will be going back in for a recheck soon. If she continues to have seizures, we will likely be taking her to have a ct done. Hopefully, the medication increase will control everything for our sweet girl. We will keep everyone updated.
Ana is a 7 month old purebred wigglebutt. She can be a little bit shy when she first meets you, but that quickly wears off and turns into nothing but pure puppy love and chaos. Ana loves people, other dogs, and even gets along with cats. She’s also never met a toy she didn’t like. Ana is fully vetted and housebroken. She is hoping to find a furever family that will take her for walks, have lots of toys to throw for her, and snuggle with her when she’s tired. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, go to our website, helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Karl Von Wigglebottom is the bestest of the good boys here at the rescue. He is a a mixed breed, likely a boxer/pit mix and about 2 years old. Karl is completely vetted, housebroken, and crate trained. Karl is good with most friendly and well mannered dogs. Cats are unknown. He absolutely loves to play, go on walks, and cuddle. It absolutely baffles us as to why this sweet guy is still here. Please help us find Karl a family. If you are interested in adopting Karl, go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Check out how good our little Ren is doing! We will be discussing his progress with the doctor in February. We are hoping that if he has no further setbacks, that he will then be available for adoption. We will let everyone know.

Jasmine enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. She is currently in boarding and would love to find a furever home or a foster. Jasmine gets along with other dogs but resource guards anything she perceives as hers. She has failed several meet and greets because of this so we are now recommending that she be an only pet. Jasmine loves people and loves to play. She is a great girl that just needs a chance. She does need an adopter with prior Corso experience or similar breed experience. To apply to adopt, go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org.
