The Henry Fund
Donation protected
UPDATE: Thank you all for your overwhelming support. Henry is doing well and I think it’s amazing his story is resonating so far and wide. We have discovered Henry has an entropion eyelid and will need surgery to correct that including his other already projected expenses. (See list below for breakdown of projected costs.) The good news is: we’ve raised enough for that too. All excess funds will be used to help rescue other dogs at the same shelter as Henry and to continue the rescue’s work.
Meet Henry, the gentle giant whose life was almost unjustly cut short. Labeled as 'vicious' by his previous owners, Henry faced an undeserved death sentence. But fate intervened through the compassion of a shelter worker who saw the truth: Henry's heart is as big as his size.
In a world quick to judge, Henry's tale is one of misunderstanding and the hasty labels that can cost innocent lives. When we first met him, his large, fearful eyes told a story of terror and confusion. Within those eyes, we also saw immense kindness, a plea for understanding, and a desperate yearning for love.
Henry, despite his size and strength, is the epitome of a gentle soul, misunderstood and misrepresented. Rescuing Henry wasn't just about saving a life; it was about righting a wrong and giving a chance to a soul that only asked for love.
In the cold, echoing corridors of the shelter, Henry shivered, not with aggression, but with fear. When we reached out to him, his response wasn't a growl but a nuzzle, seeking comfort and reassurance.
Now safe, Henry's journey to healing and happiness begins, and we need your help. The scars of his past are not just emotional; he requires medical attention for an eye infection and surgery for his entropion eyelid and other essentials like neutering, nourishing food, cozy toys, a safe crate, and transportation to his new life. The operating costs for his care are steep, but every penny means a step towards a future where Henry will only know love and kindness.
Your support will not only provide for Henry's needs but also send a powerful message: every life is worth saving, every misunderstood soul deserves a chance, and kindness can indeed triumph over fear. Let's come together for Henry, to transform his tale of sorrow into a story of hope and love. As always, if extra funds are raised, it will go towards saving other dogs. Please donate and share Henry's story. Let's give this big, sweet boy the life he always deserved – a life filled with love, care, and the joy of a forever home. Together, we can turn his once grim fate into a future bright with promise and affection.
Henry, our sweet and resilient rescue, requires immediate care and support. Sadly, his journey to wellness is fraught with medical and basic needs that are quite costly. We're reaching out to the community to help cover these expenses, ensuring Henry receives the best possible care. Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant difference in his life.
Below is a breakdown of his current and upcoming expenses:
- **Neuter:** Vital for his health and well-being.
- **Eye Infection Treatment:** To cure his ongoing eye infection.
- **Entropion Eyelid Correction:** Surgical intervention to fix his eyelids, preventing pain and potential vision issues.
- **Flea and Tick Medication, Dewormer:** Essential treatments to maintain his health.
- **Crate:** A secure and comfortable space for his recovery.
- **Collar/Leash/Harness:** Basic necessities for his safety and movement.
- **Food:** Nutritious meals for his recovery and health.
- **One Grooming Session:** To address neglect to his coat and ensure his hygiene.
- **Transportation Costs:** For his veterinary visits 2.5 hours away and future transportation for adoption.
Excess funds will support our rescue in saving other dogs from the same shelter Henry is from, covering their very similar care costs and critical operational expenses that keep the rescue running.
Your generosity helps transform not only Henry's life but also aids in the rescue and care of other dogs.
Thank you for your compassion and support!
