Facing Heartworms - Our Plea for Assistance

A Serious Condition

Jan 2010

We received the news that will greatly impact our rescue efforts. The drug, Imiticide, used to kill adult heartworms is in short supply nationwide.  This means that unless we can find some long term foster families (until the drug is available) for our heartworm positive dogs, some very nice, adoptable dogs will have to be euthanized.

More bad news, due to the short supply of Imiticide and the rising heartworm treatment costs to Veterinarians, the cost to treat each infected dog will double prior year costs (cost now exceeds $500 per dog).

We are still committed to help as many dogs as we can, but we need your help more than ever. Here are the dogs that need our help:

UPDATE (4/9/2010): *These dogs are currently undergoing heartworm treatment - happy news for these pups! See who your donations have benefitted below!

Reno*

 

Urgent Needs Dog - Ready 2nd Picture

 

This is Reno. She is a young adult cattle dog mix.  She came to LRAS with a large litter of puppies. She was underweight and covered with mange, and unfortunately heartworm positive. But we saw something special in this dog and wanted to save her. 

We are seeking funds to treat her heartworms so she can go to a wonderful home either here or in New York.  Please consider sponsoring the Reno.  For more information you may contact carrie@lastchancearkansas.org.   

Travis*

 

Urgent Needs Dog - Ready 2nd Picture

 

This is Travis, a sweet older lab who just wants to be loved.  Unfortunately, Travis is heartworm positive.  We are asking for donations to help cover his treatment.

We named him Travis in honor of the shelter vet who became particularly fond of him while he was at LRAS.  He quickly became a volunteer’s favorite so she offered to foster him thru his treatments. 

Travis has passed the assessment test to go to Rondout Valley Animals for Adoption or he may be adopted locally. His adoption fee is $150. Please contact carrie@lastchancearkansas.org for more information.

Leeland*

 

Urgent Needs Dog - Ready 2nd Picture

This is Leeland, a beautiful full blooded red merle Australian Shepherd.  He is playful and very sweet.  He is also heartworm positive.  We are seeking funds to pay for his treatment. 

He has passed the assessment test to go to Rondoout Valley Animals for Adoption or he may be adopted locally. His adoption fee is $150.  Please contact carrie@lastchancearkansas.org.

  

*Plus these 4 lucky pups and Tracie (not pictured)!
