Turbo and Charlie
It was a tragic day when Turbo, a one year old beagle mix, came into HSDR after being hit by a car. It was obvious that this little guy was in a great deal of pain and his front right leg was broken.
We immediately consulted a specialized orthopedic surgeon and scheduled the complex and costly surgery. Turbo needed to have a plate surgically placed to stabilize the break and allow his bones to heal.
We are very happy to say that Turbo has made a full recovery. During his recovery Turbo stole the hearts of his foster family and it didn't take them long to decide that his foster home would turn into his forever home!
This holiday season we have a special donor that is offering to match any donation that you give to have twice the impact and save 2x the number of lives.

Meet Joe!
Joe is a 7 year old Cane Corso mix, who came to HSDR after jumping out of a second story window. He was rushed to the emergency veterinarian, was given a full body x-ray and was taken to a specialist for a neurological exam. Unfortunately it was determined that Joe’s spine was compressed from the fall and we were unsure if Joe would ever walk or even stand again. Despite the uncertainty we wanted to give him a chance. For the first few weeks he received daily pain medication and had to be carried outside by our staff and volunteers. Eventually through daily physiotherapy, Joe’s strength slowly started to come back. He’s still a little wobbly when he gets excited but his tail is wagging and he’s improving daily. Joe’s veterinary care, medication and specialist fees were expensive and we need your help. Please click HERE to donate and support Joe.
