PAW makes it possible!

Carleton

Little Carleton, a two-month old Boston Terrier mix was surrendered by his owner to the OHS. He was part of an unwanted litter from an unspayed female dog. Carleton was born with several deformities. He could barely breathe as his nasal passages weren’t wide enough. This left him gasping for air when playing and snorting awake at night. Both of his eyelids were deformed from a condition called "cherry eye", which impeded his vision and caused him a great deal of discomfort. He also had a hernia on his belly, which was a threat to his future health. PAW donors made it possible for the OHS to perform the three necessary surgeries as well as neutering needed to give Carlton a happy healthy life. Isabella fell from a window in a high-rise building and her owner didn't help her. A concerned cat lover called the OHS. An OHS RIS agent rushed to the scene in the RIS ambulance. Poor Isabella suffered from a broken pelvis and some scrapes and bruises. Thanks to our PAW donors, our RIS agent was able to respond to the emergency in time and ensure Isabella was immediately brought to the OHS for treatment. She has since been adopted into a loving new home.

Cadbury
Cadbury
Last year, police asked the OHS Rescue and Investigation Services (RIS) team to remove a four-year-old female shepherd-mix dog from an apartment. The home was littered with garbage, mouldy food, dog feces and urine, and overrun with cockroaches. Hoards of live and dead cockroaches and flies covered the dog's overgrown coat. The support of our PAW donors made sure Gypsy was saved from deplorable conditions and received a second chance at a happy life. Funds also ensured the neglectful owner was charged and brought to justice. Seven rabbits were dumped in a park. Thankfully for Cadbury, he and his siblings were found and brought to the OHS by a Good Samaritan. The generosity of our PAW donors made it possible for OHS staff to thoroughly health check the rabbits, treat them for fleas, spay and neuter them, as well as provide housing and food them during their stay at the OHS while they recuperated and until they were ready for adoption. All of the rabbits have found new forever homes.
