Some calls become much more than a single visit. These are two of the stories behind the work — one unfolding right now, and one that began with two donkeys who needed a second chance.
One sheep in trouble led us to a much larger story: more sheep, Maurice the goat, Brodie, ducks and cats — and a rescue effort that continues today.
In March 2025, a concerned call led our humane agents to two donkeys living with badly neglected hooves. Their owner was injured, overwhelmed and asked for help.
A veterinarian and farrier stepped in, the boys received treatment, and volunteers spent weeks building enough trust to safely move them. Their journey includes hoof care, deworming, trailer training and a new life in foster care.
HSGC's programs are designed to prevent animal suffering before it becomes a crisis and to respond when animals and their owners need help.
Affordable programs help Greene County residents spay or neuter cats and dogs, reducing unwanted litters and animal suffering.

Brodie had never received routine veterinary care. Through the ongoing Sean rescue he received a full examination, vaccinations, neutering, a microchip, bloodwork and treatment.
About $1,100 in veterinary care.
That's one animal, one case and one very concrete example of what local support makes possible.
