SUCCESS STORY OF THE MONTH
Thank you Rachel and Tony for making Franklin a member of your family

Remember - this is why we rescue and why people need to donate and ADOPT and NOT SHOP!

Franklin is a celebrity!! This little guy has been through so much but he found his forever family and we couldn't be happier for him!!!

Thank you Rachel and Tony for making Franklin a member of your family!

After being left in a cornfield and found by animal control, Half-Way Home Animal Rescue (Illinois) took Franklin in. At the time, they didn’t know the thin, malnourished dog also had parvo. After four days of emergency care, he turned a corner. It seemed as though he realized the life awaiting him was worth fighting for.

Halfway Home Animal Rescue says they’re truly thankful for Franklin, for his full recovery, and for the joy he’s bringing to his new adoptive family. He’s been renamed Duncan, which means “brown warrior; fighter.” Given his struggles early in life, they thought it fit him well. Though his life started out a little rough, he’s now living the good life with his new family and their other dog! Enjoy the holidays in your new home, Franklin!

Let us all feel the spirit of the holiday season - Let us give to help these 2 deserving dogs to get the medical attention they need!Half-Way Home Animal Rescue is in need of funds to help 2 very deserving pets.

Aspen - A Bernese Mountain Dog Mix - Needs a Spinal Surgery that will relieve him of daily pain caused by being hit by a car.

Name: Aspen (male) Age: 1yr old
Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog / Lab mix
Beautiful boy-pulled from neglect. Very sweet. great on leash

He arrived malnourished, and in rough shape - but trusted us enough to let us help him.
Aspen will be needing a very expensive Back Surgery. Estimated Cost ($3,000 to $5,000 - depending on the severity of his injury).
----------------------------------------
Benny..1 year old Boston terrier that was tied to a guard rail and left behind... blind in 1 eye, infested with fleas, full of sores, starving to death and having a horribly painful time catching his breath due to pneumonia.

Benny arrived in terrible shape and is very slowly making progress...His fleas are gone, his skin is healing, he's gaining weight and his breathing has improved a ton! Though Benny clearly needed a lot of help...
Benny's surgery will cost between $2,000 - $3,000 for eye removal and follow-up care with a eye specialist
--------------------------------
We are looking for sponsors and donations for Benny's and Aspen's continued care.

We would like to thank Andy Avalos (of NBC Channel 5) and his family for their continued support of Half-Way Home Animal Rescue.

We are eternally grateful for the their support of us through adoption (Their dog "PEPPER" pictured), donations and word-of-mouth marketing efforts.

And thank them for purchasing T-Shirts for our T-Shirt Fundraiser!

VET NOTICE

Year-Round Pet Notice:

Veterinarians note that spaying female dogs and cats reduces the incidence of mammary cancer, eliminates uterine and ovarian cancer risk and prevents pyometra - a potentially life-threatening infection of the uterus.

Neutering male animals protects them from prostatic hypertrophy and infections, as well as testicular cancer and certain types of hernias. Vets also note that many less desirable animal behaviors are usually reduced by spaying or neutering, including roaming and territorial aggression.

This is also the reasoning behind our organizations policy of spaying and neutering pets that are adopted from our group as well as why we require that adopters have their current pets spayed or neuter

SPAY and NEUTER NOTICE
