EDDIE MILO

Eddie Milo was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized, then brought to Camp for foster.  Eddie was surrendered to that shelter with damaged vertebrae, compressed discs, nerve damage, and several BB pellets in his back.  In the hopes of Eddie Milo walking again, he did a few months of intensive rehab therapy at Water4Dogs in NYC.  Eddie Milo gained back some strength, muscle balance, and proprioception.  Although he will never walk-again, he can now stand for short periods of time and take some spinal walking steps on his own!  

Despite his disability, with the aid of the amazing our Camp counselors, Eddie Milo is healthy, happy, and lives his best life daily – he does everything that the rest of the campers do as if he had no disability at all!  He continues to go to Water4Dogs on a weekly basis where he receives dry and water therapies to prevent muscle atrophy and keep him strong and balanced.  He is also VERY handsome and a favorite wherever he goes!

Please help us keep Eddie Milo in his weekly rehab therapy sessions by donating towards his medical and rehab expenses!  Due to Eddie’s injuries, Eddie Milo needs to be expressed nine times a day to prevent bladder infections.  To prevent him from having bowel movements in the house, Eddie needs to be stimulated to have bowel movements outside before he comes back inside.  Eddie Milo would do best in a home that is spacious enough for him to get around in his wheels and have a family member who is strong enough to carry him up and down the stairs with a sling.  Eddie also needs to be with a family that is home a majority of the day to monitor his well-being and take care of his many needs.

BLONDIE

Meet Blondie, a remarkable 9-year-old senior camper who has triumphed over breast cancer. This resilient and beautiful soul is in search of her perfect forever family.

When Blondie first arrived at Camp in 2020, she carried some extra weight. Recognizing the importance of her health, we immediately placed her on a strict diet to help her shed those pounds. During her initial veterinary examination, we discovered that Blondie had been battling five mammary tumors. Determined to provide every camper with unconditional care, we embarked on a comprehensive treatment plan for Blondie.

With the support of our incredible CHT NYC community, Blondie underwent spay surgery, costly mastectomies, and extensive testing to ensure her successful recovery. Through unwavering love, meticulous care, and the generosity of our supporters, Blondie has emerged victorious, free from cancer and 20 pounds lighter!

Blondie delights in simple pleasures that life has to offer. She enjoys cooling off in the pool, engaging with stuffed squeaky toys, basking in the warm embrace of the sun, and savoring her meals. Her resilience and zest for life are truly inspiring.

To ensure Blondie’s well-being and happiness, her ideal family would consist of no dogs, no young children, and no cats. We believe she deserves a peaceful and serene environment where she can flourish and receive the undivided attention she deserves.

If you or someone you know is ready to open their hearts and homes to this extraordinary survivor, we invite you to email us at camphappytailsnyc@gmail.com for an adoption application. Together, let’s give Blondie the loving family and forever home she truly deserves.
