Heartworm disease is devastating. It is preventable with monthly medications that can be obtained from a veterinarian or low-cost clinic. It is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito, not from animal to animal. So while the diagnosis sounds ugly, even a heartworm positive dog is completely adoptable and capable of living a long, healthy life after treatment.
Treatment for HW+ dogs is expensive and well over $500 at most facilities. Cost, coupled with the disease, puts HW+ dogs at a disadvantage for adoption from shelters. That's where we step in. We commit to pulling HW+ animals when our funds allow and provide treatment and support until the animal is ready for adoption into a forever home. Your support of this fund will help us mend the hearts of animals in need!
