Linda Collins Fund for Special Needs Animals

The Linda Collins Memorial Fund for Special Needs Animals was established in June, 2000 to raise money dedicated to treating the medical problems of special needs animals. Examples of medical needs that will be addressed by this fund are heartworm treatment, surgery, or medicines while the cat or dog is in foster care. As money from this fund is raised and spent, the animals saved will be profiled in our newsletter.
Linda Sue Collins was a HAHS volunteer who developed the first HAHS Web site. She was also active in the adoption events. Linda died on June 23, 1998 as a result of a rafting accident in Colorado. She was a certified registered nurse anesthetist and was survived by her son, Lindy, and her husband, Stephen.
One hundred percent of the money donated to this fund will be used for Special Needs animals.

Who Need Very Special People

These animals bring out our best qualities like compassion, patience and humility. Here are just a few reasons we love "special" pets:

• Physically challenged pets are often unaffected by their handicap — but you still look like a hero!
• Special Needs...Special Love

Featured "Senior" Animals

Older pets are just as loving as young animals, but because most people want "small and cute" puppies and kitten first, millions of perfectly wonderful older animals are euthanized each year.
If you're looking for a good companion, look for an older dog or cat. They have lots of love to give and the admirable qualities that come with maturity.

"With an older pet, you will get a less destructive, more graceful animal, and one that has probably already passed "basic training" - you may not need to housebreak the pet, and it will most likely know to come when called and what "no" means. The animal will be spayed or neutered already. And if you work, a full-grown pet is better able to stay home alone during the day; this is especially true for dogs."
