🚨 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.

We have a lot of wonderful dogs, just waiting for a chance to rescue their own human. Check them all out on our website helpingheartshealingtails.org.

I rescued a human today.....

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage.

I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today.

Sometimes the overworked shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.

Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe.

I would promise to always be by her side.

I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.

So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors.

So many more to be saved.

At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.....

🚨🚨 Immediate foster needed for Blue, a 7 year old bluetick beagle mix.🚨🚨

His owner had been hospitalized, but was recently moved to a nursing home. Blue needs to find placement asap now. We will cover costs for any vetting needs. Blue has lived with cats and another dog. He is shy with people he doesn’t know at first and will bark at them, but once he warms up he is very sweet. He would do best in a home with no kids. If you can foster Blue, please complete an application on our website helpingheartshealingtails.org.

Yukon has been in boarding since last summer, after police removed him from a home for neglect. Yukon has a very typical husky attitude. He is social when he wants to be and off keeping to himself the rest of the time. He is selective with dogs and tends to do better as an only dog, unless you are very experienced at working with this breed and integrating dogs together. No cats or children please.

Yukon is full of personality as most huskies are. He loves being outside, anytime of the year. He also loves water and will likely end up in any type of water he can find. Stuffies are his favorite toys and of course he is a fan of treats.

Yukon is fully vetted and ready to find a home of his own. He had a pretty crappy life before he came to us. He is healthy now, but he’s in boarding and is still waiting to find a good home. Please help us find this handsome boy a furever home. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Yukon, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

The longer we have Kiera, the more we fall in love with her. It is so hard to believe that somebody just dumped her and her puppy (adult puppy) in a state park to fend for herself. Kiera is incredibly sweet, but still has some sass. She loves people and other dogs (small dogs are a bit questionable), and she chases cats that run but doesn’t seem to be aggressive with them. Kiera is always happy and the perfect companion to cheer you up after a hard day. She loves to play, go for walks, and is willing to learn new things. She is also a bit of a natural protector and comes to her person right away if she thinks they are in trouble. Kiera does know some commands, is housebroken, and crate trained. She is completely vetted and ready to go to her furever home. If you are interested in adopting Kiera, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Last night was a horrible night for Olive. Her medication had been increased after the terrible seizure she had on February 14. She had been doing well since then and had gone a little over a week without any seizures.

Unfortunately last night she seized again. The seizures were short in duration, but there were multiple and her postictal state was long. Today she is back to her normal self in personality, however she has a very swollen face. She did not hit anything or bite herself so we believe it is an allergic reaction. She was given benedryl and the swelling has gone down since this picture was taken. Olive has been ripping around the house, playing with her toys and the other dogs, so we feel it’s safe to say that she feels ok.

Since Olive’s history is completely unknown, we are not able to get her seizures under control, and her seizures are extremely violent, we would like to have a CT scan done to determine if there may be a tumor or some other major issue causing the seizures. We need help raising the funds to do this though. The baseline cost of a CT scan is $1200 plus the sedation and any additional meds that would be needed if she would start seizing. We are mainly concerned about raising the $1200 though.

This is extremely important. Each time Olive has a seizure is one more chance of causing her a brain injury or physical injuries. There are multiple ways to donate. They will be listed below. Thank you!

We need help finding our beautiful girl Jasmine a foster or adopter. Our main house is very full and she is not very happy here. It is better than where she was, but we still want more for her.

Jazzy had a terrible life until she came to the rescue. She was a breeding mother at an Amish puppy mill. When she couldn’t breed anymore, she was surrendered to us rather than be euthanized.

Jazzy is a 6 year old cane corso, completely vetted, and housebroken. She wants all the attention she can get. She doesn’t care that she’s the size of a person. She still thinks you should hold her and that she can be a lap dog. She loves stuffies, especially long ones like snakes and caterpillars. She also likes going on walks, playing in the yard, and running around with the zoomies. We’ve been trying to work on some training, unfortunately time here is limited for that. She has learned sit and place. She is extremely treat motivated. Someone with more time would likely be able to teach her with ease. She is extremely stubborn though, so she will need someone with Corso or similar breed experience. She also can resource guard. It does seem to be at a minimum with people now, however she will still guard with other dogs. Overall though, she is a happy and loving dog. Her little nub tail is alway wiggling.

Please help us find a place for Jasmine. This girl was used for the first 3/4 of her life. Let her be loved for the last part of it. If you are interested in Jasmine, please go to our website helpingheartshealingtails.org and complete an application.

Everyone welcome Bear to the rescue! He is a 4 month old cane corso/pit bull mix. He currently has no vetting, but we will be taking care of that very soon. Bear is all puppy, so his foster will be working on manners and training during his stay with her. He is already crate trained and housebroken. Bear loves people, and other dogs, but cats might be questionable as he likes to chase them. He also loves to play with toys and explore. Bear is a great pup and once he’s ready for adoption, he will make a great addition to a family!

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.
