Hannah was saved back in March. Her owners decided one day they didn't want her anymore, so they locked her out of her yard and replaced her with a new puppy. Hannah's life continued to get worse from there. While living as an unwanted dog, she was shot at, and the bullet is still in her hip. She was also hit by a car at some point and has some old fractures in her back end that healed incorrectly but are too old to repair. She struggled gaining weight for a while. A vet trip for what we thought was a UTI ended up in her being diagnosed with diabetes. Her diabetes journey has not been easy, and recently resulted in an ER trip for nearing DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition that can occur when blood sugar levels become too high and there is not enough insulin to control them). Fortunately, after having the ER stabilize her and take over her care, she's been making steady improvements. Hannah is dog & cat friendly. She loves to go on walks, is good on a leash and loves car rides. She fears thunderstorms/fireworks. She wants to be with her human all the time and loves belly rubs. She is more on the dominant side. On occasion she will engage in play with other dogs. She is good using a doggy door except when her numbers are high (frequent urination can be common in diabetic dogs). As far as the bullet and bad hip, you'd never even know that something is wrong. She runs and jumps very well and doesn't show any signs of pain. Hannah is a very sweet girl that just wants love. She loves to snuggle up on the couch/bed and is also good with children!

ThisIsHouston is a rescue dedicated to helping those who cannot ask for help!
The inundation of graphic dog posts and images on social media seems to have rendered a lot of people helpless. The bystander effect has grabbed a hold of our city and it isn’t loosening its grip. Most people are not aware of the stray overpopulation problem going on in this city. The others don’t help because somebody else will. Well, we are ‘somebody else’. We have no super powers. We have no magic formula or secret that gives us the ability to do what we do. We are just an example of what can be done when people come together for a common cause and leave egos at the door. Why do we do this? Because we choose to. Because we are tired of dogs suffering needlessly. And because we refuse to live in a world where there is a choice not to help.
