Ames is an adorable 5 month old Goldendoodle puppy, who may look all smiles outside, but inside she was dying. Ames was born with a heart condition called Patent Ductus Arteriousis (PDA for short). This genetic heart condition causes heart failure without intervention. Thankfully due to her young age, Ames was a candidate for surgery and on January 21st, she survived the heart surgery to save her life! Ames still has to recover, but she can now live a normal life and find her forever family soon!

Ames surgery was paid for by the Minnie Hochwarter Fund, a fund to help special needs dogs receive lifesaving care. You can donate to this fund to help save future dogs who need more help than we can provide. to donate please note the Minnie Fund: https://pawstinleypark.org/donate/

FURRY FEATURES

Minnie’s Memorial Fund

The Minnie Memorial Fund which was created years ago by Joan and Wayne Hochwarter after their beloved Minnie passed away. This fund is used for our special needs dogs who may require expensive procedures and surgeries in order to give those dogs a chance for a good life. Besides selling dog bandanas at all events and the Tinley Park Farmers Market, each year on Minnie’s anniversary, Joan and Wayne Hochwarter honor their Minnie by donating $5,000 to the memorial fund. May 11th marked Minnie’s 7th anniversary. What a bittersweet day for all who knew Minnie. P.A.W.S. Tinley Park would not be able to do these life saving procedures without the Minnie Fund and we would like to say “thank you” so very much for Joan and Wayne’s dedication to our special needs dogs. When Joan spoke about Minnie’s fund she said, “Seven years and the tears continue to flow but she does live on in “Minnie’s Dogs”.

Partners

As a non-profit organization, we could not keep our shelter open without the help of our generous Partners. Each of these businesses provides valuable services to the Shelter. From organizing an event or taking care of our animals and the shelter grounds, each of these Partners plays a special role in helping us with our mission of caring for and finding ‘furever’ homes for our animals.
