Three Heartworm Positive Homeless Doodles Need Your Help!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

DRC Heartworm Treatment Fundraiser

Doodle Rescue Collective has recently had a large intake of doodles in need of new homes. Three of them have tested positive for heartworm and need treatment to save their lives. Heartworm treatment is very expensive, ranging from about $800 to about $1500 per dog. It also requires the dog to remain in foster care for a period of 2 to 4 months. (Read about HW treatment with Immiticide here:HW treatment)

Paisley was pulled from death row. She was to be euthanized because she had heartworm. That is when our wonderful volunteers stepped in to save her. Paisley recently finished he last round of treatments, which will hopefully leave her heartworm free. In the mean time, we are still responsible for the costs of treatment. 

PAISLEY SAFE AND RELAXED IN FOSTER CARE:

Bailey was surrendered to DRC. Bailey spent the last 5 out of 7 years of his life chained outside. Bailey also tested positive for heartworm and will be starting his treatment this week. Bailey will need several rounds of treatment over an 8-10 week period. 

BAILEY IN HIS FOSTER HOME, LEARNING WHAT LIVING INDOORS AND LOVE ARE ALL ABOUT:

Dino was pulled from an over crowded, high kill shelter on December 16. After a lot of collaboration, we were able to locate a foster home for him to stay in while he completes his heartworm treatment. He will begin treatment in 30 days once his antibiotic is complete. He will then need several rounds of treatment over an 8-10 week period. 

DINO, SAFE IN FOSTER CARE:

DK member and DRC volunteer extraordinaire Kate Singleton has organized a Fundraiser for Paisley, Bailey, and Dino's Heartworm Treatments through You Caring. Here is the link, which includes a short but moving photo slideshow of these three gorgeous doodles. Please consider making a donation to help DRC treat them and continue to save other doodles in need. Thanks for reading, and Happy Holidays from Paisley, Bailey, and Dino!

Already donated, but want to thank all 3 foster families for taking in these beautiful doodles.  The video is wonderful and heartbreaking all at once - I am hopeful that all 3 of these babies will live long and healthy lives thanks to DRC and their foster families!

Thank you, Robin.

It has been mind-boggling how many gorgeous doodles DRC has pulled from kill shelters this last month or so.

Thanks, Nicky!

I donated this weekend when I saw that abused and neglected mini that Nancy (Ned & Clancy) pulled.  These stories are so heartbreaking.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Thank you, Jane!

Yes, that little mini doodle was heartbreaking.
