Boogles – the big-eyed, big-eared bloodhound mix, found her second chance at happiness through the kindness of a family of seven. When Jeff stumbled upon Boogles, she was enduring neglect and abuse from her original guardians. With hearts full of compassion, Jeff’s family took her in, and in no time, Boogles became the “heart” of their home. 

Boogles’ journey with her new family spanned nine beautiful years until an unforeseen crisis struck. Boogles faced a health emergency – pyometra, a life-threatening condition. The cost of her essential treatment was beyond their means, compounded by Jeff’s sudden medical condition, rendering him unable to work. It was a heartbreaking dilemma – the family’s beloved companion needed urgent care, but financial constraints stood in the way. 

Knowing that they were on borrowed time, they turned to Toronto Humane Society’s Public Veterinary Services, hoping for a miracle. As Emily, Boogles’ mom, recounts, “went home to the saddest, emptiest house,” to wait.  

Thanks to the unwavering support of compassionate donors, Boogles received the life-saving surgery she desperately needed. Boogles’ surgery was a success, and she was ready to return home.
