HHBCR Sponsorship Program
Occasionally, HHBCR saves a dog that is deemed “unadoptable” or “difficult adoptions” due to their health issues, or in some cases behavioural problems. These dogs, which are in forever foster homes, still do require ongoing care. We are so blessed to have amazing foster homes that have welcomed these special pups into their lives for as long as they have.
These pups are just as deserving of support and the HHBCR Sponsorship Program allows those who cannot foster or adopt to assist in a very special way. You may opt to sponsor a special dog on a monthly basis, donating directly to medical costs, or even donate monthly for the cost of dog food.
If you would like to be an HHBCR Special Dog Sponsor, please contact us at fosters@hullshaven.org

Meet Texas!
Texas requires medication for his neurological issues, annual exams, and food.
Sponsorship: $25 per month, although any amount helps!
Texas is a beautiful border collie rescued from a terrible situation. When he came into care it was apparent that the abuse he experienced as a pup was a lasting, physical issue. Texas is a loving, goofy boy, even with his issues.
His foster family took him to Saskatchewan for an MRI. His physical exam saw the neurological issues and believe it is intra cranial related. The MRI resulted in a fluid sac on the left side of his brain. There are normal fluid sacs in the brain but this one is about 2-3 times the normal size. There is also atrophy of that area of the brain as well caused by trauma. This is what is causing all his neurological issues. Unfortunately, there is nothing more to do than what we are doing now.
On the plus side, he is happy and managing.
His forever foster family writes, “At this point we just enjoy the happy boy he is and watch for any worsening of symptoms/seizures in the future. We couldn’t be more lucky to have this boy a part of our lives and we will love him forever. He is just something special.”

Meet Opus (aka Schpoopy)!
Opus (aka Schpoopy) requires medication, annual exams, and food.
Sponsorship: $25 per month, although any amount helps!
Hi. My name is Schpoopy. It was Opus, but my foster Mama nicknamed me Schpoopy, and it stuck. I know I know, it’s peculiar, but she loves me.
Let me tell you my story. I was born in a puppy mill in Ohio. When I was just 8 weeks old I had a bad accident, and my tail was torn off, and my spine was damaged. The bad people never took me to the vet for help, so I dragged my back legs around for 3 months, and I had a big sore on my backside from dragging myself. Then a kind lady who rescues puppy mill dogs took me from that bad place, and after a while, I went in the sky! I really did!
Pilots N Paws helped me to fly to Canada! I was 5 months old and I could not walk or stand up. I saw doctors who did massage and acupuncture, and I got a WHEELCHAIR too! With lots of help I am now able to stand and I can go FASTER FASTER in my chair with wheels! I fetch frisbees and balls! I have a special life jacket that I wear, and then I fetch in the water and SWIM! I love swimming!
I love cuddles and snuggles. I am really smart and I know how to get ready for my wheelchair. I come when Foster Mom calls me every single time! I have fun playing with other dogs too! I like to wrestle and play tug.
Thank you for reading about me!
