Somebody here needs help... Needs a home... Needs you

Thank you for visiting our 'special needs' section designed specifically to showcase our adoptable animals who may have a variety of special needs. See our current Special Guest Bio, who is waiting for help and a home. We're looking for homes for these animals that have limitless love to give but may face some challenges. These wonderful companion animals are eagerly a waiting adoption but throughout their life may require some additional time, understanding, finances and commitment.

Perhaps you have a special place in your home and heart for a special needs HSOP dog or cat? Or perhaps you have a special place in your heart to make donation to the HSOP Special Needs fund to help our special needs animals receive the care that without such help, we would not be able to provide. Please Donate.

Our HSOP Special Needs Fund helps pay for veterinary and/or medical treatment for the needs of animals rescued. Helping these homeless animals is an important part of our work. However, the expense of such treatment can at times be cost prohibitive, we know that with support through adoption and donation, these Special Guests can have wonderful lives.

Saving one animal may not change the world, but surely the world will change for that one animal. --- Author unknown

New Special Guest - "Lost Puppy"

So this little guy is as sad and pitiful as the picture shows and for good reason. This brown pit mix puppy was brought to our shelter by a good samaritan who found him along the side of a road apparently after being hit by a car. He has the scrapes and injuries to show for it including a badly damaged hip that requires surgery to repair. While we have to try and keep him comfortable at the vet until his owners have a chance to come find him, since his injuries are not life threatening, we do have him scheduled for the much needed surgery which could cost as much as $700. Although we're hopeful that the vets will give us a discount considering how young, sweet and dear this little guy is. Regardless, he is certainly needs all our help to not only get the surgery he needs, but to recover from his injuries and then find a new home, presuming his owners don't come for him in the next few days. Please consider giving to our special needs fund to help this little guy and other animals just like him that won't get the help they need and deserve without your help.

Update on Savannah: Not only were we able to get Savannah the surgery she needed for her broken hip that had gone unrepaired for months after she too was hit by a car and her owner unable to afford to get it fixed. But Savannah found a wonderful home where she is the queen the house.
