Meet Betsy! She was transferred in from a shelter on the East Coast of Florida after being there for almost 1 year and getting constantly overlooked. From a medical standpoint we can tell that Betsy has had a very tough life until coming to HSMC. She has had puppies in the past and has been battling with chronic skin and ear infections. Her ears have been infected for so long that the pinnas (ear flaps) have become permanently thickened. She is missing fur on her feet and neck. He skin is very red as is all of the skin between her toes and toe nails. Betsy most likely has environmental allergies that have never been cared for. Allergies are the most common disease affecting dogs, especially in Florida. Allergies can be caused by dust, pollen, mites, fleas, and a whole lot more. Just like in people, we manage dog allergies, but never cure them.

Betsy's sweet heart and fight for life has led her to HSMC, where we will manage her allergies and treat her infected ears. She will finally start feeling some relief from the pain and constant itching. Betsy will be a special adoption as we have been able to raise the funds through generous donations to cover immunotherapy allergy treatment. Costing almost $1,500, we have been able to pin point her specific allergies to pork, oat, dust, and dust mites. She will be starting on a year's long dose of special medication to treat her severe allergies. It will be a requirement for her adopter follow the treatment plan created by Humane Society's veterinary clinic. This will include recheck examinations and medication refills at our veterinary clinic . There is no additional fee for the adopter, as the funds to cover her treatment have been generously taken care of.

Betsy has a great prognosis and we can't wait to find that perfect forever home where she will never have to deal with allergies and ear infections again.

Meet Casper! He was transferred in from a shelter partner in desperate need of space. This big goof ball loves attention and going on walks. He is dog friendly and loves to play fetch. Casper did go through a period of losing weight but he is back to gaining weight and doing wonderfully. He is believed to have a high metabolism so he is on a multi-feeding schedule so he can retain the weight he is putting on when eating. Casper is currently eating Purina Pro Plan Performance and it is highly recommended that an adopter either continues with this food or transitions to another food that is similar. Come and meet him today!
