Tiny Sisters Rescued from Irving Shelter, Battling Severe Mange with Happy Pet Project's Help

The Happy Pet Project, an initiative dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable animals, is currently providing critical care to several severe mange cases, including two precious nine-week-old sisters named Anna and Elsa. Their story, though initially heartbreaking, highlights the vital work of the rescue organization and the power of compassionate care.

Anna and Elsa were discovered as strays in Irving, believed to be only eight weeks old at the time of rescue, with no sign of their mother. Their early life had been marked by suffering, as they were battling painful skin issues, significant hair loss, and, most distressingly, an open wound on Anna's tiny head. Their abandoned and ailing condition upon arrival at The Happy Pet Project was deeply concerning.

The Happy Pet Project, the inaugural project of Texas Good Deeds Project, operates with shared guiding values and a culture focused on achieving their lifesaving mission. Their core mission is to partner with local municipal shelters to combat companion animal overpopulation in Texas through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. They also strive to educate the community on responsible pet ownership, animal advocacy, and various aspects of animal welfare. Their overarching vision is a world without homeless animals, where collaboration among animal welfare organizations and community pet owners enhances the health, happiness, and fulfillment of pets, their owners, and animal welfare advocates.

Thanks to the immediate and vital medical attention provided by The Happy Pet Project, including medicated baths and placement in a loving foster home, Anna and Elsa are now embarking on their journey to recovery. 

Another example of the transformative power of the project's work is Pork Rind who also had a severe case of mange  Read about Pork Rind here.
