These smiling dogs have even more to smile about, since all of them are now fully sponsored for their heartworm treatment! Thanks to everyone who contributed in any amount. We'll keep you updated as they get their treatment and become adoption-ready :)
The pups want to remind you that this disease is preventable - mosquito season is coming, and they want your dogs to be protected!
Heartworm Disease is caused by the mosquito-born heartworm. Entering the bloodsteam via a mosquito bite, these little monsters lodge in the lungs, arteries, and heart, where they grow and reproduce. Untreated, heartworm disease is lethal.Prevention is available in monthly doses that can cost as little as $5/month. Here in the South, mosquitoes are a common & constant threat. Please use preventive to save your own dog's heart!
