Haven was found in Barrhaven on Christmas Eve, outside in the cold, hiding under a car and clearly in need of help. He was frightened, dehydrated, malnourished, and beginning to show signs of frostbite. A kind passerby stayed with him until FTCR volunteers arrived, a simple act that gave Haven the chance he needed.

Haven was brought to VCA Alta Vista, where Dr. Megan Jones 🩷 and the veterinary team gave him the urgent care he required. His frostbitten paws and overall condition needed immediate attention. His emergency visit came to $1,000. Now, Haven is warm, safe, and settling into foster care. While he’s starting to recover, his journey isn’t over. Emergency intakes like Haven’s are only possible thanks to community support, and the costs can add up quickly.
