Hope’s Heroes

It’s All About “Hope”

Hope’s Heroes provide for dogs, cats, and other animals who come to our shelter with very special needs. Your Hope’s Hero gift covers the extra care and medical expenses for these animals—including comprehensive medical tests, surgery, medication, and rehabilitation. Thanks to you, these “special Friends” can get back on the road to good health so that we can place them with forever families.

Yes! I want to provide hope for rescues with special needs.

Hero in Need

Six-month-old Loki has the heart of a champion in a little broken body. We  thought she had a fractured leg, but after thorough evaluation, it was determined she has extensive damage to her pelvis, including a dislocated hip. Her damaged pelvis causes her to drag her back leg, which has resulted in an open sore that can’t heal.

Despite her condition, Loki constantly looks for love. She wriggles out of her bed to be petted, and you just want to cover her with kisses. Loki requires extra special TLC, so she has gone home with a foster family and will remain in foster care until she is hardy enough to withstand surgery.

The Original Hope

11-year-old Hope is the spokesdog for Hope’s Heroes. Rescued from a cat-hoarding home in Dearborn, this beautiful, brown-eyed girl had obviously not been treated by a veterinarian for some time. Upon evaluation, we discovered she had a mouth full of rotten teeth, multiple tumors, and enlarged lymph glands. Another shelter may have viewed these obstacles as insurmountable, but the Friends did not. We saw a hope-filled animal in need. After numerous dental procedures, surgeries, and medication maintenance, Hope recovered wonderfully. She has since found a new leash on life with a new family.
