Stories of Hope

  • Pepper - A small tan corgi dog with his neck shaved, showing injuries from a dog attack.

    Pepper

    “I can’t thank Hobo’s Healing Heart enough for the help they gave us. One night I came home to find my 8 year old Corgi, Pepper, had been pretty badly beaten up by another one of our dogs. I took her to the emergency vet in Rapid City as they were the only ones open and could fit her in. White I waited for the vet to let me know what needed to be done I contacted Kelly to see if Hobo’s Healing Heart could help with the medical costs to get her patched up. She was so kind to send me the application and I filled it out while I waited. Before we could even get Pepper home, she told me that I would be receiving financial help for the medical expenses! We are so grateful!”

    “I contacted Hobo’s Healing Heart in a desperate attempt to get some help. They got back to me within a day and told me they could help. Without them, Moose wouldn’t be getting the surgery she needs. I am forever grateful for the wonderful people that run this organization. Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to this charity. You do not go unnoticed!!!”

    Sadie and Yeager

    “HHH is the best! My dogs Sadie and Yeager were brutally attacked by a burglar in our backyard. Both dogs ended up getting their legs broken so bad that major surgery was required. Without the help of HHH and it’s generous donors, both dogs would have ended up losing their legs due to the extent of damage and the cost to repair. Both Sadie and Yeager are doing great now thanks to the kind folks from Hobo’s Healing Heart!! Thank you for being there for us when we thought there was no hope.”

    Bella

    “Without Hobo’s Healing Heart, I wouldn’t have been able to afford the surgeries and Bella’s fate would’ve been very different. I am grateful for the help I received and so is Bella!”

  • Tres- a black cat sitting on a rug. He is missing a leg from having surgery and there is a shaved area with stitches where the leg used to be

    Tres

    “When a cat that belonged to a family friend broke his leg, his options were surgery or be put down. I agreed to take the cat and pay for surgery so he could have a chance at life. However, we already had pets and 2 young children, so we knew money was going to be tight. HHH jumped in and donated a generous amount of money towards his leg amputation. He is now happy, healthy, and has even figured out how to climb a baby gate! Thank you, Hobo’s Healing Heart!!”

    Dezi

    “I heard about Hobo’s Healing Heart and decided to reach out to them, and within four hours of applying they told me they would help pay for Dezi’s surgery! Now she only has 3 legs, but is doing great and can do anything a 4 legged dog can! She is full of energy and personality and if it wasn’t for Hobo’s Healing Heart helping my family out, she wouldn’t be here today! Thank you to everyone who donates and is a part of the organization! You all make a difference!”
