UPDATE: Tony is doing wonderful. For the best update and video progress, please go to Hawk Ridge Animal Hospital FB page.

Meet Tony, He is the newest resident at Happy Hearts. Tony was a stray and we believe hit by a car. He needs surgery on both back legs. He has multiple ligaments damaged so he needs a surgery called Extracapsular Lateral Suture Stabilization (ELSS). His blood tests came back perfectand he is heartworm negative. The vet says he won't be running down any squirrels, but will have a good quality of life. He is very sweet boy and only about 5 or less years old. He deserves a chance at a good life. The cost will be $8500. If you would like to help Tony and donate for his surgery, please go to happyheartsanimalrescue.com and use the donate button. On our home page is also the information for raffle tickets for a Charlie Daniels Autograph Fiddle package. The proceeds will benefit Tony. Thank you in advance.

Bones is doing great. He just finished his pre-meds for heartworm treatment and will get his first injection on 6/15/22. Sadly, his donation to cover the heartworm treatment did not come through. In addition, we now have a German Shepherd named Zeke who also has heartworms. We know this is a rough time for everyone right now financially, but we are asking for donations of any size to help cover the medical costs for these two dogs. I started a facebook fundraiser on my personal page, Ellen Pratt Sellers or you can make a donations using the donate button on our web site happyheartsanimalrescue.com. Thank you in advance for helping these two guys.

We need a new game plan. Happy Hearts is officially announcing the postponement of our Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic fundraiser scheduled for April 23rd due to low attendance. BUT, we never give up on the puppies and kittens. We are already planning an alternative event to take place as soon as we can organize it.
All current ticket holders have been contacted and given the option of a refund or credit for the next event. We are grateful that almost all opted for credit to the next event.
All of the sponsorship and donations will be held and used at the alternative event with the same publicity planned for this event.
We have a few ideas on how to make the next event a little more fun and appealing to more people. If anyone has any ideas on how to make the next event more fun and one you wouldn't miss, please let us know in the comments. The low cost spay and neuter clinic is too important to our communities and the animals to give up, so we will figure this out. Watch for upcoming news on the next event you won't want to miss.

My precious Betty White. My heart is in a million pieces. I had to make the choice to let my sweet Betty cross the rainbow bridge this morning. From the day I got Betty I knew I would never let her suffer or be in pain. She has made continuous progress. Gained weight, loved her treats, ran circles in her room, got so excited when I came in. She wagged her tail and even made sure she came in the bathroom with me like all dogs, know thats when she has me captive for petting. Not one time was she ever in pain, unhappy, scared or anything but progressing to the dog I wished for her to be. This morning everything changed. With no warning she suffered a seizure that lasted an hour till we could get to the vet. By that time her temperature was 107. The best guess is that a piece of shrapnel had shifted and now causing the seizure. With the exposure to such a high temperature the vet felt there would be additional brain damage. Anyone that knows me, knows that I will never give up on a dog. I promised Betty that I would never give up on her but I would also never let her suffer. Letting her go was the only choice.
Thank you to everyone who donated money for Betty's care. Please know that the money will be used to help animals in Betty's honor in some way. We are trying to open a low cost spay/neuter clinic and it just may be called the Betty White Spay Neuter Clinic. My mind is not is a place to make any definite decisions today but the money will be used in some manner that Betty will never be forgotten.
I am beyond grateful that God chose me to take care of her. I pray that she knew how much she was loved by me and so many others. I know she was saved for a purpose. The purpose is not what I thought, but I know it will be revealed. Run free my sweet Betty, I miss you already.

Happy Hearts may have to reschedule our fundraiser scheduled for April 23rd to raise money to open a much needed low cost spay/neuter clinic in mid Missouri. Why? Because there isn't enough attendance. Why? We don't know! This is something our communities desperately need, so we don't understand why there is little support. Please comment below any reason why you believe the attendance is low. If we have to reschedule, we need to know how to change the event so there is more interest. Thank you for your input.
Visit happyheartsanimalrescue.com for information on the event.
