Moira Needs Your Help!

At the Humane Animal Treatment Society, we often see animals who have been failed by the world before they ever reach our doors. Moira is one of those souls.

Moira, a gentle 3-year-old girl, arrived at HATS as part of a massive 22-dog intake from a single property. She spent her first few years as a victim of backyard breeding—never knowing the warmth of a home, the comfort of a full bowl, or the kindness of a gentle hand. In her former "pack," she was frequently picked on, leaving her shy and uncertain when she first walked through our doors.

Despite everything she has endured, Moira’s spirit remains unbroken. We quickly discovered she is as sweet as honey and lives to please. In her foster home, she has truly blossomed, learning for the first time what it means to be loved.

The Setback

Unfortunately, Moira’s journey to health has hit a significant hurdle. What we initially thought was a persistent UTI turned out to be much more complex.

After X-rays and an initial procedure, our Health Clinic confirmed that Moira is suffering from a uterine stump infection. Tissue from her previous spay has adhered to her bladder, causing constant discomfort and recurring infections. While we are incredibly relieved to share that the mass doesn't appear to be cancerous, it is still life-threatening if left untreated. Without a specialized surgery to remove the tissue and repair her bladder, Moira faces a lifetime of pain and severe long-term complications.

How You Can Help

Moira was failed by people at the start of her life, but we refuse to let her be failed now. We want to give Moira the world, but we need your help to do it.

Because this surgery requires a specialist, the cost is estimated at $4,000. Currently, our Colton Fund for Special Needs Dogs—the fund that allows us to take on these extraordinary cases—is not enough to cover the bill.
