Giving Tuesday: Stories from Shelter Pets

TUCSON, ARIZONA – Each and every pet that comes through the doors at HSSA has a unique story to tell. As Giving Tuesday, the global day of generosity, quickly approaches, we wish to share the unique and touching tales a handful of our shelter pets have experienced thanks to the support of local donors.
Included in these stories is Barb, a young Shar Pei who came to HSSA severely irritated and hairless. As her treatments progressed, she regained not only her gorgeous coat of fur, but also her energetic spirit. Barb has made a complete recovery, and she is currently on our adoption floor awaiting her forever home.
Some pets have overcome their traumas and found their forever home. Malakai is a brave cat who came through our doors with severe injuries sustained from being hit by a car. The pelvic fracture which resulted was incredibly painful, but after a hip surgery and physical therapy treatments, his pain was alleviated and he regained full mobility in his hip. It wasn’t long before someone fell in love with him and brought him home for good.
We rely entirely on the support of donors to continue providing happily ever after endings to homeless pets in need. Anyone who is able is encouraged to support pets just like these at HSSAZ.org/donate
