In 2023, we welcomed Hershey, a 4 lbs 14 yr old Chihuahua. His owner could no longer care for him, so we took him into the sanctuary and immediately fell in love with him.
Our excellent Vet, Dr. Handel, told me today that since he started working with House with a Heart, he no longer thinks 14 is an advanced Senior! Our little Hershey is 14, and he has a horrid condition with both of his knees entirely out of place. He came through 2 surgeries on both legs and is good as new! We made sure his next ten years will be as comfortable as possible!
We call him our Hershey Kiss, he is just so loveable!
Thanks to our supporters we can help care for all the foster pups that come into our Piper’s Pals Pack program - and for Hershey, we were able to can help with a Medical Miracle too.
House with a Heart (HWAH) Piper’s Pals Foster Program and K9 & Kitty Medical Miracles.
Our Piper’s Pals program helps other Rescue Groups by providing a temporary home at HWAH for dogs that need a quiet, safe place to recover from medical treatment. These pups are not HWAH residents — they still belong to the original Rescue Group.
Our K-9 & Kitty Medical Miracles program provides medical grants to help other Rescues with medical care to make that dog or cat ready for their new forever home. These pets often need extensive medical care to prepare them for adoption or foster care. This program is so important to our mission to help save as many senior dogs and cats abandoned in shelters as we can.
