The
Survivor Program
They all arrived at the Humane Society for Hamilton
County in need of emergency medical care. From severe
malnourishment and dehydration to life threatening
wounds, hit by car injuries and illnesses, each case
leaves us with the same difficult decision to make—do we
use our limited funds to save this animal or not?
The Survivor Program (Moore/Life Fund) was
established to give these animals the life saving
medical care they need. It is this fund that allows us
to approve the treatment for which these animals cannot
wait…when there is no time…the Survivor Program saves
lives. You can save lives.
The number of homeless and unwanted animals in
Hamilton County is growing so much faster than we can
keep up with. Many come to us with heartworm disease,
Parvo, serious injuries resulting from animal cruelty or
neglect, and many other horrible situations. Your
financial support makes it possible for us to give these
animals a second chance at life.
Average Cost of Emergency
Medical Care & Treatment for Life Threatening Illnesses:
$250-$350 The cost to treat a heartworm positive
dog.
$250-$350 The cost to save one Parvo puppy.
$200-$300 The cost to provide in-patient, supportive
care to a cat or dog.
$300-$500 The cost to stabilize and treat a hit by
car injury.
Without your contributions, animals like those
listed below would not be with us today…and we think the
world is a much better place with them in it. Please
donate today.
Survivor Stories
 Stella
is a 3 year old American Staffordshire Terrier who has
got to be one of the most affectionate dogs on the
planet! She likes to snuggle right up next to you and
shows her appreciation with endless kisses. Stella
would let you scratch her back and behind her ears all
day long if you want and will repay you with a big
hug…yes, she will give you a full fledged hug.
Stella has very good manners and walks well on a leash.
She knows the command “sit” and she is gentle when
taking treats. She keeps her kennel very clean so that
is a good indication that she may be housetrained.
Stella is currently Heartworm positive and can begin
treatment to cure her condition if she can find a
financial sponsor to pay for her treatment. She will
also need a foster home where she can rest and
recuperate after her treatment. She would love for her
foster home to become her forever home too!
Stella is very special and
deserves a family who will give her all the love she
longs to give in return. You will absolutely fall in
love with her. Come see Stella…and experience one of her
signature hugs (& kisses).
This just in! A very nice
family has sponsored Stella's heartworm treatment, so
all she needs now is a foster home! If you're interested
in fostering or adopting Stella, please email
hamiltonhumane@yahoo.com or
visit the shelter.

 Gabriel—“Looking
for his angel.”
Gabriel is an 8 month old, red-nosed Pit Bull
Terrier with gorgeous green eyes who was burned by the
people who were supposed to love him. He was
abandoned by his owners at a local shelter and he is now
in our care.
The scar extends the length of his entire back and
appears to have been done possibly with hot motor oil.
We can’t even imagine how painful this must have been
for him, but he has healed. Gabe will never have hair
where the scars are, but he is beautiful just the same.
There are no special medical needs due to the injury.
Gabe is just a baby, and he’s in need of a strong
leader to teach him good doggy manners and proper
training. He also does well with most other dogs. He is
very loving and playful, and remarkably, very trusting.
If anyone deserves a happy ending…to find an angel…it’s
Gabriel.
You must be at least 21
years old to adopt this pet.

  Noble—He
most certainly is.
Just looking at this noble face shows you the
gentle soul that resides within. Noble has had a hard
life. He is a 6-year-old Retriever/Dutch Shepherd
mix with the softest brown eyes, silky coat and a bit of
gray on his muzzle. He was found on the streets and
brought to the shelter in February. An examination
revealed that he is heartworm positive, but a kind
person has already sponsored his treatment! If you go by
Noble’s kennel he may not come forward to greet you—he
is still pretty shy and confused about his surroundings.
The noisy barking around him seems to make him all
the more downhearted. But I learned that by sitting with
him quietly for just a few minutes, and petting him
gently, that this is all he really wants. He went from
hiding under the chair to resting his head in my lap,
nudging my hand to pet him when I stopped. If those eyes
don’t tug at your heart, nothing will. Noble needs a
family to love him and to give him the second chance he
deserves. And because he is a
senior, he qualifies for the PAWS program! We
would love to have someone foster him through his
heartworm treatment with the intention of adopting him.
Once he looks into your heart, resistance is futile. If
you’re interested in adopting Noble, please visit the
shelter or email
hamiltonhumane@yahoo.com.

 Pongo
has one of those faces that just makes you want to
squeeze him. He looks like a little bear with big brown
eyes. Pongo is an 8 year old Chow Chow who LOVES
human companionship. He is neutered and walks extremely
well on a leash. Pongo has a wonderful disposition and
really enjoys a good back rub. He’s not opposed to a
belly rub…but the back rub…well, that’s what puts a
smile on his face.
Pongo qualifies for our P.A.W.S. Program - Partnering
Animals With Seniors. If you are age 55 or older, please
contact our shelter to find out how you can adopt Pongo
for a reduced fee.
Pongo’s heartworm treatment has been sponsored! All he
needs now is his foster (and hopefully permanent) home
so she can begin his treatment.

Millers
-
Accident
Survivor |
Millers is a 6 month old brown tabby and one
very lucky kitty. She got caught in a wheel well
of a car and came out with a broken jaw, but she
made it out alive. Millers received the medical
treatment required to help her heal, so her fee is
$150 to help cover those costs. She is definitely a
survivor! You would never know she had a serious
injury as she is a very frisky and playful girl.
What a doll!

Isabelle — Cruelty Survivor |
 |
|
The day Isabelle arrived
at our shelter.
|
 |
|
Isabelle lounging in
her hammock at
her foster home. |
Isabelle is a 2 year old,
spayed American Pit Bull Terrier who was seized
by law enforcement and placed with a local
rescue group who then brought her to our
facility. She was
seized after her owner threatened to shoot her
“for not listening to him.” Well as it turns
out, Isabelle is bilaterally deaf. And in all of
his infinite wisdom, he also determined that
pouring kerosene on her back was a good way to
remove fleas.
This little girl has been
through so much. And like so many other abused
pitbulls before her, she is incredibly loving
and amazingly trusting of humans. She so wants to
please her people and to be loved. We have
healed her physical wounds, but now she needs a
loving, patient family to show her what a home
should be.
Isabelle is currently in a
foster home until we can find a permanent one.
Her foster family said she does experience some
separation anxiety in the form of barking when
she cannot see her foster family from her crate.
This is currently being rectified by a
behaviorist. She has learned some vital hand
signals, but she will need to be part of a
family who can work with her to learn additional
sign language. Her foster family said she is
good with people and other dogs, but they are
not certain how she would be with cats.
Isabelle loves to play Frisbee
and enjoys play dates with her canine friends.
As you can see from her photo, she also likes
taking power naps on her hammock and splashing
in her kiddy swimming pool. Isabelle enjoys
cuddling with her favorite teddy bear, and is
looking forward to finding a very special
forever home.
You must be at least 21 years
old to adopt this pet. If you are interested in
Isabelle, please send an email to
hamiltonhumane@yahoo.com.

Bander
— Cruelty Survivor |
Bander is a 5 month old,
neutered Rottweiler mix who arrived at the shelter
with a rubber band wrapped around his tail. Apparently, some genius thought they would dock his
tail by cutting off the circulation. What resulted
was a severely infected tail that we did end up
having to remove.
Bander has now healed and back to being a playful
puppy. This sweet boy has learned his sit command
and would be happy to learn more! All Bander needs
is your love…and all we need is 5 minutes with the
guy who did this to him.

Mongo — Cruelty Survivor |
Mongo is a neutered, 2 year old
domestic short hair tabby who came to us near death.
A concerned citizen saw
Mongo being attacked by several kids in her
neighborhood, and when she shooed them away from the
cat, she realized they had stabbed him in the head
with a sharp object.
We have been unable to identify
those involved with this horrible act of cruelty,
but we were able to treat Mongo who suffered from a
fractured skull. He is doing
remarkably well and healed nicely.
This kitty is truly a survivor as we were uncertain
he would recover from such a serious injury.
He’s a very sweet cat and still
loves people even though he has been through so
much. Mongo deserves to live his life out with a
human who will show him the love and respect he
deserves. |
