UPDATE: Crystal had her specialized heart surgery on December 2, 2025, and she has recovered well. She is now waiting for her forever home.
Help Needed for Crystal BelleCrystal Belle is a special miniature poodle who recently came into our care. At just one and a half years old, she was relinquished from a puppy mill due to a heart murmur. After a thorough evaluation by our local veterinarian, Crystal was diagnosed with a grade 6 heart murmur and subsequently referred to a veterinary cardiac specialist.
Following several specialist consultations and numerous tests, Crystal is now scheduled for Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Corrective Surgery. Her appointment is set for December 2, 2025, at a veterinary specialty clinic in New York. The combined cost of the multiple vet visits, diagnostic tests, and the surgery with specialists is expected to be more than $5,500.
The encouraging news is that with this surgery, Crystal has a 98% chance of enjoying a long and healthy life. Her foster mom has shared that Crystal is a wonderful dog, and we believe she deserves this opportunity for a normal, happy future.
To help fund Crystal's surgery, we gratefully accept donations via the donate button on our website at haventohome.org. Checks can be mailed to Haven to Home, PO Box 851, Berwick, PA 18603.
UPDATE: Crystal came through PDA Surgery on December 2 and is now in her foster home recovering. She is expected to have a full recovery and a long -- quality life.
