Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworms are completely preventable with a monthly prevention. About half of the dogs in county animal shelters are positive for heartworms. Many rescues are unable to take these dogs in because of the extensive cost to treat. We are fortunate enough to have great donors, a wonderful vet staff, and a great fundraising team that has allowed us to take on Heartworm Positive dogs. Please consider donating to these causes so we can continue saving dogs lives.
