About

Hugs For Harry is a haven devoted to rescuing senior, special needs, and medically-fragile dogs who have nowhere else to go. We believe every life holds value, regardless of age, condition, or past. While many of our dogs go on to loving adoptive homes, some will remain in our sanctuary for the rest of their lives—and that is not a failure, but a promise kept. These dogs are home. They are safe, they are loved, and they will be cared for with dignity for all their days.

🐾 MY SECOND CHANCE ISN'T OVER YET... ❤️

Lafayette, CA • Hugs For Harry

Hi everyone... it's me, Mickey D. About a month ago, I underwent one of the biggest surgeries of my life. The wonderful doctors at UC Davis removed 19 diseased teeth that had been causing me unimaginable pain. For years, every bite, every chew, every meal must have hurt. I just lived with it because I didn't know any other way. The good news is... my gums have healed beautifully. My veterinary team says I'm finally ready for the next step. This Thursday, I'll return to UC Davis for what they hope will be the final surgery to stabilize and rebuild my jaw. After new imaging—including an ultrasound and Cone Beam CT scan—they plan to implant a special bridge designed to help regrow the bone and stabilize my fractured jaw. If all goes as planned, my jaw can heal properly, and I'll finally have the chance to eat, play, and live without the pain I've carried for so long. But there's one problem. The surgery will cost approximately $5,800, and we're running out of time. Hugs For Harry has never turned away from dogs like me, even when the medical bills seemed impossible. They said "yes" when I needed them most. My surgeries are not cosmetic - they are life saving. Now they're asking for your help so they can say "yes" one last time and see it through. Every donation—whether it's $10, $25, $100, or more —brings me one step closer to the surgery that could change the rest of my life. I didn't choose to live with a fractured jaw and years of untreated dental disease. But because of you... I may finally get the chance to heal. Thank you for believing that dogs like me are worth saving. With love, ❤️ Mickey D \# Help Mickey D Heal 🐾 Goal: $5,800 📅 Surgery: This Thursday, July 23, 2026 at UC Davis Veterinary Learning Hospital 💙 Every donation, every share, and every prayer helps.
