the Ophelia projectOphelia, an 8-year-old boxer, was a happy, family-friendly dog, and there were many tears when her family moved, leaving Ophelia once again at Heartland Pet Connection to find her forever home. Ophelia had a number of health issues requiring surgery and continued monitoring. With the help of the HPC, our veterinarians and a special education program, Ophelia found her new life with a wonderful woman who agreed to assume the responsibility of Ophelia’s special care for the rest of her life.
The mission of the Heartland Pet Connection is to “serve as a voice for the human treatment of animals and work toward enhancing the connection of people, pets and education.” With the adoption of the Ophelia Project, the HPC continues its mission of compassion for the animals in its care. The Ophelia Project is a hospice-type program developed in the fall of 2013 to honor Ophelia and all of the people that loved her. It ensures that all of the requirements of the special-need animal are met both before and after adoption. These include individual care for the elderly, unique medical care, provisions for special diet, medications and more. The goal of the HPC is to create a connection between the Ophelia Project animal, the veterinarian and the new owner. |

Meet Delphi!! You must take a look at senior doggies. We are well passed all that chewing and accidents in the house. We have moved on to the better things in life, like naps on the couch in the sun, laying at the feet of the people we love, going on walks to take in all the smells of the neighborhood and just enjoying life. Beagles are a favorite breed because of their loving personalities and this fits me to a tee. If this is what you are looking for in a best friend, come in and spend time getting to know me. You won't be disappointed.***I have been micro-chipped.
