HPAN Helps Heal Meredith’s Heart with $475

Meredith landed at the Anderson County Animal Shelter before she was taken in by Double Dog Rescue. Unfortunately, she had heartworms, caused by a single mosquito bite.

Meredith is recovering in foster care, and then she will be transported to Connecticut, if not adopted locally.

Senior Girl, Gypsy, Gets the Care She Needs

This beautiful dog was taken to the Anderson County Animal Shelter as a stray. With some suspicious growths on her body, the interim shelter director thought she needed to be checked by a vet, so he asked if we would sponsor.

HPAN Sponsors Joseph with $300

Joseph’s owner was losing his house and could no longer care for this sweet baby.

HPAN Helps Harper with $300 for Surgery

Harper was surrendered to the Anderson County Animal Shelter. She was covered in flees, had a bad skin infection, needed to be spayed, and had a bum leg from a former surgery gone wrong. Slumdog Rescue Crew pulled this tiny darling into their program and got her straight to the vet, who said her back leg was causing her more trouble than it was worth and that an amputation would be needed. They asked us to help with the cost of surgery, which was nearly $1,600. We were at least able to pitch in $300. Payments can be called into Powell Animal Hospital, 865-938-7008.

HPAN Helps Bosco and Charlie with $556.88

Bosco and Charlie’s time was up at the Anderson County Animal Shelter. They were surrendered together by their family. Both beagles had skin infections, one had bad teeth, neither were up to date on any vaccines or prevention, and both had Ehrlichia and Lyme, which are tickborne diseases. Needless to say, a lot of vet care was needed to get these boys the life they deserved. We were happy to help the rescue group, Almost Home Animal Rescue, who pulled them into safety. These boys will be in a better home soon!

HPAN to the Rescue with $303.50

Halos Second Chance Animal Rescue was called by the great folks of the Anderson County Animal Shelter to come to the rescue of a mom dog, Tulip, who had just delivered six puppies at the shelter, which is no place for newborns to be. They immediately went into foster care and then a bit later to the vet for services including puppy shots, dewormer, testing on Tulip, and health certificates. What an honor to help this little family at Christmastime!
