We've rescued six paralyzed dogs and many other special needs dogs, including those who have injuries like a fractured pelvis or broken legs, or are heartworm positive.
This is a really important question this year because we know that because of temperature and climate changes that are expected in 2022, there will be a higher instance of heartworm.
So we're really adamant about raising awareness around heartworm, because Wish has been in an oxygen chamber and we almost lost him—his bills are more than $6,000 right now.
