Canela (formerly Navie) Then - by Amy, Canela's foster mom Navie was brought to the vet with extensive injuries to her pelvis. Instead of euthanizing her, the vet was able to convince her family to surrender her for rescue. Project Hope connected with her Tennesee foster mom and she flew up to Michigan for surgery and to find her forever family. Yes, that's right - she flew on a private plane! Thank you Pilots N Paws for the ride! It some time for Navie to complete her treatment, but the day after her final surgery, she was off to her forever family for the love and care that she had been waiting for. Canela Now - by Erica I adopted Canela (formerly Navie) from Project Hope the summer of 2020. She had been hit by a car and, thankfully, was rescued and given the multiple surgeries she needed to start on her path to recovery. When I adopted her she was just starting to walk comfortably and still needed help getting up stairs. I was fully prepared for life with Canela to be a lot of carrying my little pup around, but I am thrilled to say she made a FULL recovery and is now my running buddy, is often the star of the "zoomies" at the dog park, and handles the many flights of stairs at home better than I do! She is the sweetest, most lovable dog I could ever have imagined welcoming into my life. I am so beyond grateful to Project Hope for giving her a second chance! I feel so lucky that my first dog was Canela— a sweet gal that has been described by many as "a dog with training wheels" or the "easiest dog in the world." Because of her good nature, she's made many MANY friends and is able to have a full life of staycations with aunties and uncles, lots of accompanying yours truly when eating out and shopping and even working on her Off-Broadway debut :) and is always emphatically invited to any friend gathering. She loves the bison bones from the farmers market and lives for belly rubs. She does great in her K9 sack on bike rides through the city, can't wait for the off leash hours in Central Park, and loves snow more than anyone. Truly. I call her the mayor of New York, because she acts like she knows everyone in the city, and I'm certain one day she actually will. I love Canela so much and can't imagine my life without her. She has brought so much joy to my life, and I can honestly say to my friends' lives as well. Thank you Project Hope from Canela and I :)

Phineas Then -by Amy, Michigan foster Kitten Phineas was saved by his Texas foster mom from a pack of dogs that had trapped him beneath a house. He sustained some bad injuries and needed to have one of his rear legs amputated. After he recovered from his surgery, he made his way up to Michigan to find his forever home. Project Hope doesn't often rescue cats, however, when asked we could not resist helping such a brave boy. Phineas wasn’t with his Michigan foster mom for too long before he found his perfect match!  Phineas Now -from Phineas' forever family Phineas came to our home in April 2021 and he has been a three-legged dynamo! His personality fills our home with so much joy and laughter at his antics. He does get into trouble at times, like his propensity for tearing up paper. We have learned to keep our most important papers out of his reach. He seems completely unaware that he is missing a back leg, and can run fast and strong from one end of the house to the other, especially when chasing the evil and sinister red laser pointer. He impressed us early with his ability to scramble up our cat tower at top speed, and upon reaching the highest platform, he rings a metal bell that is part of a window decoration. Once there, he often settles in to watch the birds outside the window on the feeders, or hang over the edge in a photo-worthy pose. We were not sure if Phineas would win over the heart of our older cat, Lanikai, but in just over six months, he was able to convince her that he was a wonderful little man. My heart was full the first time I saw them cuddled up together on the couch, after giving each other a hearty licking of the ears and face. Phineas continues to be a food hog, wanting his face to be the first in any bowl and often shoving his sister out of the way. As they go back and forth between the two bowls, Phineas is never satisfied and wants whatever Lanikai is eating. This results in a back-and-forth running from bowl to bowl, while Lanikai is just trying to eat in peace. She tolerates his frantic shuttling back and forth to get whatever she is eating (which is the same thing that is in “his” bowl). He loves to snuggle and is always near one of his people snoozing next to them as closely as he can get. He is a play-hard, sleep-hard cat who needs to be the center of all attention. We gladly give it to him since Phineas is the highlight of our home and we would not have it any other way.  |
