SPECIAL CAMPAIGN
Victor and Vincent
Meet Little Victor, the newest Hero’s Heart rescue!
​
Not even a year old, Victor has already endured more than any puppy should. For months, he wandered alone, searching for food in garbage wherever he could find it. In September, he was brutally attacked by another dog, suffering deep wounds to his hip and right hind leg—injuries that went untreated until now.
​
Victor is fighting multiple infections, has tested positive for two tick‑borne diseases, and his right leg is permanently locked. Once his infections clear, amputation will be necessary. His emergency care has already exceeded $500, with amputation, neuter, and vaccinations still ahead.
​
Despite all he’s been through, Victor’s spirit shines! He is gentle, loving, and happy—adoring other dogs and even cats. This sweet boy wants nothing more than a chance to heal and live the life he deserves.
​
Your donation can give Victor that chance. Please consider helping Hero’s Heart cover his medical care and be part of his journey to recovery. Thank you for opening your heart to Little Victor!
Meet Vincent! (pictured here with brother Vivace)
​
At just 8 weeks old, Vincent was thrown out of a moving car in a rural area and abandoned. His bonded brother, Vivace, was deposited at a nearby farm. Fortunately, they were both given shelter and food by the kind property owners.
Vincent was taken to a local vet once his limp was noticed. That vet did not reset or treat the leg, so Vincent's leg began to heal unnaturally and become necrotic. When Hero's Heart was contacted about Vivace needing rescue, we did not hesitate to help. When we learned about his brother, Vincent, at the neighbor's property, HH stepped up to intake him as well. The kitten brothers were thrilled to be reuinted!
Vincent received urgent surgical treatment to manage his broken femur, avoiding the need for amputation!​​ Despite everything that happened, Vincent remains extremely gentle, affectionate, active, and happy.
​
Help us fund Vincent's surgery and vet care, which totalled over $1,000; this is a lot for a small rescue to finance. Thank you!
