Help Harley Get the Care She Needs!
By Amy King
Harley has been a resident of the HSVC since she arrived as an evacuee during the Maria Fire in 2019. It did not take long for our staff to notice she seemed to be having trouble walking. Dr. April Armstrong, DVM, was immediately called to examine the 23-year-old Quarterhorse, and it was determined she had Navicular in both of her front legs. Since Harley was an evacuee at the shelter and an owner had not come forth to claim her, the HSVC covered the cost to give Harley the treatment she desperately needed. After several months in our care, Harley was deemed abandoned by her owner and officially became the property of the shelter.
