For over three years, Hearts Alive Village’s advanced veterinary forensics program has played a critical role in more than 250 animal cruelty investigations. While approximately 80% of these cases involved deceased animals, our program has also provided essential support to many live victims.
One such survivor is Gene, a pit bull who suffered severe abuse resulting in blindness. With the assistance of a specialty surgeon in another state, our team was able to restore partial vision to one of Gene’s eyes, significantly improving his quality of life.
Another remarkable case is Chowder, a husky who arrived at our facility unable to walk, likely due to an untreated infection affecting his spine or prostate. Through a comprehensive treatment plan, including acupuncture, swim therapy, laser therapy, and pain management, Chowder is now almost fully ambulatory, with his strength improving daily. His progress is a testament to the power of dedicated veterinary care and rehabilitation.
Thank you for helping us give all of these animals a fair shot at justice and, for the lucky ones, a chance to heal and thrive.
