Hospice Program
Our Hospice Program is for our pets who have medical problems that our Vet has determined will shorten their life. We believe that they should have the best quality of life possible for their remaining time with their foster family. For information on our current Hospice Pets please check out Pinto's Facebook page here, and read her story below.
Pinto Vroom came to UOH in July 2015. She had some health issues that puzzled our staff for a few months. After numerous appointments and tests it was discovered Pinto had a pituitary brain tumor. She was given six months to live. Of course, her foster family was devastated. They wanted to give her the send off of her life. That’s when UOH decided to create Pinto’s Bucket List. And Pinto did just that. She went to the beach, the snow, to the movies, to SF, Monterey, had a zillion puppachinos and cheeseburgers and even went on a camping trip. The best time was when her mommy and daddy took her on a cross country road trip where she met friends and followers along the way. Pinto was one happy and loved chihuahua. 
Being the spokesperson had many perks. She was on TV and met her favorite TV anchor Maria Medina. She wanted everyone to give their beloved animals the best ending to their lives. 
In January of 2018, Pinto began slowing down.. Her body was tired and she was ready to go. She took her last breath April 6, 2018 surrounded by her family, her vet staff and volunteers from UOH. 

~Run pain free sweet Pinto.  You will forever remain in our hearts. Love, mommy and daddy
