Meet the Senior and Special Needs Residents of House with a Heart!

Meet "Tator-Tot" - he arrived at HWAH in July of 2018

During September we will share stories about our Residents, Piper's Pals (rescues staying with House with a Heart) and Forever Fosters (HWAH residents who live with one of our volunteer families).

Backstory:
Tator was rescued by PetConnect Rescue. They asked for our help to evaluate him as he was pooping and peeing in his crate. We are guessing that he spent his life in a crate and this was normal for him. So we kept a close eye on him, and taught him to poop outside. He is extremely shy and would run and hide when anyone walked in the door. Slowly but surely, he has started venturing out when people arrive. He has even started letting some people hold him and pet him. He has come a long way from the scared little man he was. He is such a cutie and we are thrilled to see him thrive with our pack

And Thanks to YOU, our supporters:
Our resident Tator Tot currently has aspiration pneumonia, so we needed to give him nebulizer treatments which meant we had to put a cone on his head, hold him down, and administer the treatment through the plastic cone on his head. With our new oxygen crate, he can lie down or even move around comfortably while the nebulizer steam treatment comes in through the side of the crate. Tator enjoys hanging out and having a bowl of water while he gets his treatment!
