Things continue to be busy for the animals of Hood County! Last year H.A.N.D was able to help in a variety of ways. Veterinarian shortages have caused us to pause our major vaccination clinics which is a huge loss to our lower income clients. We hope to find new vets willing to help. We continue to offer our basic vaccinations and microchipping. The harder times of the economy have made our services even more needed in lower income areas.
Spay and neuter has resumed as our main priority. Texas as a whole is in a crisis with the number of unwanted pets. Shelters, rescues and fosters are all overwhelmed. Your donations help us provide these services and control the number of unwanted litters.
We have continued to transport animals to rescues, volunteers have fostered over 15 animals and found them new families and keeping them out of over populated shelters. Other volunteers have medically fostered animals.
Donations and our dedicated volunteers is what makes all of this work possible.
Giving Activity
Mission
Helping Animals in NeeD (H.A.N.D.) began because several animal lovers in the Hood County, Granbury, TX area have been rescuing animals for years – fostering, adopting, transporting, and raising money. No matter how hard we worked, there were ALWAYS too many unwanted animals. The only REAL solution is to SPAY & NEUTER animals to stop using killing as the birth control “solution.” We formed our non-profit organization to target funding for spay and neuter surgeries to help end overpopulation, abuse, and neglect.
We provide financial assistance for animal sterilizations (including community cats). HAND also reaches out to economically challenged areas of our community to provide pet vaccinations for free or low cost.
Needs
We continue to work toward our goal of low cost spay and neuter clinics for residents of Hood County and surrounding areas. We are struggling to find a veterinarian willing to provide their services so we are hoping to raise money to hire one for clinics. We also need financial donations to buy the equipment and supplies.
Through monetary donations we are also able to continue our low cost/free vaccination clinics in disadvantaged communities run by volunteers.
Donations allow us to financially assist in the spaying and neutering of animals (including community/feral cats). Currently, we are sending these animals to low cost veterinary clinics outside of our county because no low cost alternative exists in our county.
We would love to have veterinarian's that are willing to donate their time join our organization whenever time permits so we could do more vaccination clinics and hopefully, one day, spay and neuters.
