The Helping Orphaned Pets in Emergencies (HOPE) Fund was established in 2001 in an effort to raise money for sick and injured animals so they can be rehabilitated and adopted into loving forever homes. 100% of your donation to the HOPE Fund is used to provide extended medical procedures for the animals in our care. No portion of your donation is used to cover administration or operational expenses. To date, the HOPE Fund has helped hundreds of animals.

​Hope​ Fund Success Stories

The HOPE Fund has helped cover the costs for a multitude of services and procedures, including X-rays, leg amputations, medications, and many other surgeries and treatments.

Bulldog

Bulldog

Bulldog entered the shelter back in June 2016 as a stray with what we believed to be a bacterial infection in his eyes. It turned out that Bulldog had an underlying deformity to his eyelids. This condition is called entropion, which causes the eyelids to roll inwards and rub on the eyeballs. This can be VERY uncomfortable and also result in secondary infections. The only way to help Bulldog was to send him for surgery. When Bulldog was prepped for surgery the hair was shaved around the eyes. The vet exclaimed that he had so many folds in his face that “he looked like a bulldog!” The name stuck and while poor Bulldog needed 2 surgeries to cure his condition, this well-natured, easy going feline has taken it all in stride! He has since recovered and is loving life at Brampton Animal Services– certainly an improvement from life on the streets!​
Peggy

Peggy

​Peggy came to the shelter with a badly deformed leg. After further investigation, it was discovered that she once had a severely broken leg and never received medical attention so it had healed poorly. The only solution was amputation. Peggy now enjoys her life in Mono where she likes to have supervised outside time. She can even climb trees with three legs.
Elm

Elm

Elm came into the shelter at only three weeks old. He was found with a terrible eye infection that resulted in emergency surgery to remove the ruptured eyeball. Elm is on his way to recovery and has already found his forever home!​
Spock

Spock

When Spock was brought into the shelter, he weighed just over one kilogram. This poor kitten had a plum-sized umbilical hernia on his stomach! A hernia occurs when internal organs protrude through the body cavity, but are contained underneath the skin. In other words, Spock’s insides were (literally) on the outside, poking through the hole where his umbilical cord would have been, just under the skin! The HOPE Fund helped to cover the surgery to help tuck Spock’s insides back inside the body cavity, as well as his recovery. Spock has since made a full recovery, and is now a mischievous kitten living in his new home!
Roxy

Roxy

Elm came into the shelter at only three weeks old. He was found with a terrible eye infection that resulted in emergency surgery to remove the ruptured eyeball. Elm is on his way to recovery and has already found his forever home!
Leon

Leon

​Leon suffered from an eye condition called "entropion", his eyelids curled inwards so his eyelashes were constantly against his eyeballs, causing irritation. After three reparative surgeries, Leon is loving life in his forever home.
Hobbes

Hobbes

Hobbes came in as a stray with an old fracture to his leg that had healed poorly. The injury was too old to repair so his back leg was amputated. Hobbes is quickly learning how to get around – you would never know he was missing a leg!​
Leo

Leo

Hello my name is Leo! Unfortunately my family was not able to keep me as they were allergic to me.  It was at this time I started my new journey with Brampton Animal Services.  It was the amazing technicians on staff that determined I had a condition in my eye called ‘Entropion’ which went untreated for some time by my previous owner.  There was scaring on my lens causing me some pain and discomfort.  Due to donations made to the HOPE Fund by community members I was able to undergo surgery and have this condition fixed.  I was able to recover and get all dressed up just in time to choose my new ‘fur-ever’ home.  Help support others like me by donating today to a great cause; HOPE.
Diesel

Diesel

Diesel came to us with a condition commonly referred to as “cherry eye”, in which the third eyelid protrudes from the eye. Left untreated this condition leads to inflammation and infections in the eye. Diesel required surgery to reposition the tissue and post-operative medications to resolve the inflammation. Diesel has since been adopted into his forever home and has had no reoccurrence of symptoms.
Boston

Boston

​Alright, so Boston isn’t his real name - but this handsome Boston Terrier is such a new member of the HOPE Fund we haven’t even had the time to give him a name yet! “Boston” (his temporary name) was found as a stray, with a very badly infected mouth and injured eye. Boston suffered from glaucoma in his left eye, which means damage to the optic nerve occurred. Over time the pressure and swelling of the eye can build to the point it becomes painful, and vision loss can occur. While the HOPE Fund did everything to try and save Boston’s eye, unfortunately it was too badly damaged and had to be removed. During the surgery poor Boston also had 10 of his teeth extracted, as they were in very poor condition! Boston is now on his way to recovery and chances are by the time you read this, will have already found himself a new loving home!
Jakey

Jakey

​Jakey is my name and I have had such an amazing journey with my friends at Brampton Animal Services.  I am a HOPE fund candidate as I found myself abandoned by my owners with a person who could not care for me.  My mouth was in need of repair so through donations made to the HOPE Fund I was able to have the much needed dental.  I ended up having 13 teeth removed allowing me to now eat and feel much better.  Being the handsome man that I am I have found my ‘fur-ever’ home.  This would not have happened if it was not because of generous people donating to the HOPE Fund.  If you donate today all the money received go right back to the animals like me.  Please follow all my HOPE fund friend’s stories to see how you can help.
