In October 2006, we
learned about
Harley, a Golden dude from San Antonio. The discovery of a brain tumor had compounded
difficulties his mom, Andrea Hanssen, was
experiencing due to being a widow, single mom, and
nursing student. Wanting to do all that was being
recommended by the veterinary specialists, the huge costs of
treatment took her entire savings.
But, Andrea
continued on, her positive spirit present
even though Harley was not well enough to continue his therapy visitations to
wounded soldiers at the Brooke Army Medical Center.
We raised over $10,000 for Harley, our grant program then named in his wonderful memory.
Your tax-deductible donations are integral to our provision of grants to help working dogs in need of cancer
treatment. While donations can be made in any amount by

wonderful plush pup below as a thank-you for our most generous supporters.
