Heartworm disease is a parasite that infects the heart after being transmitted via mosquitos. If left untreated the disease is always fatal to the animal. Sadly, because many people are unaware of the dire effects of heartworms, we rescue an average of eight dogs per month with this deadly disease. PLEASE GIVE NOW to help our homeless animals receive the medical care they so desperately need. Your contribution will ensure the only thing in their heart this Valentine’s Day is unconditional love and affection.

FREEDOM is a Boxer/ Lab mix that was supposed to be transported to a rescue in Canada. When she reached the border, the rescue took one look at her and decided because of her "bully breed" appearance, they needed to turn her away! That's where we stepped in, because we know EVERY breed deserves a second chance! Freedom still needs her flu shot, a dewormer, heartworm treatment and a spay. Her total veterinary bill is a whopping $500!
