HOME NEEDED!
Two beautiful, sweet babies are missing the love of their owner who tragically passed away on October 4, 2009, from complications following a car accident. Her family, who requested that donations be made to HOPE in lieu of flowers, is now having a difficult time caring for these deserving dogs. Both pups, a male and a female, have been fixed and vaccinated and are on monthly heartworm preventive. The family is requesting that they both go to the same home, which must have a fenced-in yard. For more information, or if you are interested in adopting, please call Brittany at 985-665-7122 or Ben at 985-803-0471.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO HOPE!
HOPE for Animals would like to thank the Nestle Purina Petcare
Company in partnership with AdoptAPet.com and Animal Services and
Assistance Programs, Inc. (ASAP) for the generous donation of nearly
3,000 pounds of Beneful Original Dry Dog Food.
What a way to start off the New Year!
DONATE BEDS TO HOMELESS ANIMALS!
It's c-c-c-coooooooold outside this winter, and our cats and dogs would love nothing more (besides finding their forever homes) than a nice, warm bed to stay cozy in while the temperatures are so awful! If you're looking for something specific to donate to HOPE, please consider donating a pet air bed to a needy cat or dog. Our four-legged angels would be most grateful, and for every bed sold, Animal Rescue of New Orleans (ARNO), a wonderful, no-kill animal shelter, receives a $1.00 donation! Check out the gear today!
THANK YOU, CHILI'S RESTAURANT!
Tragedy in Houma
On Sunday, December 20th, there was a house explosion in downtown
Houma. Preliminary review seems to indicate it was caused by a gas
leak. In the home at the time were 3 people and 4 dogs. The mother
and her two young sons, ages 6 and 3, were severely burned and were
transported to Terrebonne General Medical Center. We do not know of
their current condition. Of the 4 dogs, one perished. But the
good news is that 3 were saved! BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION--HAVE YOUR PETS SPAYED OR NEUTERED!
Are you in need of help getting your dog or cat
spayed or neutered?
My Heart's Desire
has a great, low-cost spay/neuter program in Terrebonne Parish.
Cost is $50 per cat and $60 per dog--cats must be at least 10- to
12-weeks-old or weigh 3 pounds. Minimum weight for dogs is 3
pounds. Volunteers transport your pets to and from Southern Animal
Foundation in New Orleans every other month. (Limit is 20 dogs and
20 cats per trip, and spaces fill quickly.) If you are interested
in this program, please email
myheartsdesireministry@hotmail.com, or call Leslie at 985-852-4554
to request an application and information sheet.

DONATIONS NEEDED FOR LUCIA'S VET COSTS!
Meet sweet Lucia, an eight-month-old pup who's had a rough start in life beginning with her mother (Juliet) being abandoned just days before giving birth to her pups. Fortunately, a HOPE member found the very pregnant mother and took her in. When Lucia was about six-weeks-old, her mother accidentally stepped on her eye, causing irreparable damage--the eye had to be surgically removed. Since then, Lucia has battled with numerous infections to the area where her eye once was. She has had to wear a drain (like the one in the photos) on several occasions while having to take strong antibiotics to fight infection. This darling pup has been a trooper through it all, and her medical problems have not slowed her down one bit. She is a playful pup with the sweetest personality (and very smart to boot!). Check out the Youtube video of Lucia at play. It is not certain if another surgery will be necessary at this time, but if infection continues to be a problem, surgery will be likely. If you would like to contribute to Lucia’s mounting vet costs, please specify donations to "Lucia’s fund." This wonderful baby is available for adoption. For more information concerning Lucia, please send an email to meacat at mobiletel dot com. Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you for your unending support! ATTENTION CARTRIDGE COLLECTORS! We need your help! HOPE
for Animals is using
ecyclegroup.com to recycle printer cartridges. Here you can find a
list of toner cartridges we can use to help fund our organization.
Also, any cartridge that reads "replacement" or "compatible" has already
been refilled, and we cannot use these. Please note that we can
also use old cell phones. Please
call Vicki at 985-447-3821 if you have any questions. Thank you
for your continuing support of this program. NOTICE!
Don't be a "throw-away" pet owner! Consider the sacrifices before adopting! "Free to good home" too often means a death sentence.
