2 very special alum’s came to visit this week… Zane and Honey 🤍
Both had been through a lot. Both came from . Both were forgotten about and left behind. Both were heartworm positive.
Zane survived as a stray for months, doing his best to make it by alongside a pack of other pups.
Honey was a sweet momma whose babies were rescued while she was still waiting for someone to save her, too.
This week, seeing them safe, loved, and thriving reminds us why we never give up on the overlooked ones.
Heartworm disease is spread through mosquito bites and can cause severe damage to a dog’s heart and lungs if left untreated. Treatment can be long, expensive, and hard on their little bodies; but it is treatable, and dogs like Zane and Honey prove that a heartworm diagnosis is not the end of the story.
Please don’t overlook the heartworm positive dogs in shelters. They deserve love, healing, and a chance just like every other dog. 🐾
