The blue dog is Gus Gus. She's a tiny pit bull mix about two years old. She was a drop at our rescue group kennel in New Orleans. People dumping dogs in front of our gate afterhours or driving up and giving sad stories is how we get the majority of our dogs in our New Orleans location. There aren't a lot of resources for dog owners in our area except for a high kill public shelter in our county.
The black and white dog is Grover. He's about 14 years old. His owner gave him up to the Assumption Parish (County) Shelter because he was too old.
We currently care for both of these dogs at one of our multiple facilities in the greater New Orleans Louisiana area.
Both of these dogs have benefitted from receiving heartworm treatment and are alive because of the generosity of our donors, like you.
We contniue to be amazed and astonished at the high percentage of dogs in Louisiana who need heartworm treatment to stay alive. Without this expensive treatment, they will die. Without weeks of convalescing and keeping them calm after the heartworm treatment, they would die. We have to spend more money to keep these dogs who received this treatment calm and quiet. We also can't neuter or spay the dogs without having them treated for the heartworm first.
All this takes time and money. For that, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
