FOUR RESCUED PUPS NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

As many of our regular followers know, we have a HUGE issue in this part of the world with Heartworm disease.  Approximately 95% of the dogs we rescue that are one year old or above test positive for this disease.  Treatment is very expensive and difficult on the dog, but the disease can be deadly if left untreated, so treatment is critical.
PAWS currently has four Heartworm positive dogs that are in need of treatment.  The cost of treating all four will be $1600.00 (+/-).  Please consider donating to help the following four dogs receive the life-saving treatment they need and deserve.



Ellie aka Wiggles. Ellie was found as a stray out in "the County" after she wandered up to an elderly lady's house. Ellie was in such bad shape and the heartworms has already caused damage when we found her that she would faint when she got excited or did too much. Ellie has been on heartworm prevention and Doxycycline to lessen her risk of undergoing treatment,  and she is now ready for the actual heartworm treatment.


Dempsey was found as a stray with his friend who has already been adopted. Dempsey is now ready for his heartworm treatment so he can find his forever home.


Tucker was found as a stray in Crawfordsville after he had been hanging around a gas station for a couple of days. People called us because they were afraid he was going to get hit by a car. Tucker is a great guy who once he is treated will be ready for his forever home.


Riley was abandoned when her left her and her puppies behind after he moved away. Riley's puppies have gone to rescue and she is waiting for treatment so that she can have her turn at a new beginning.

Please help these pups move onto new loving homes by donating to their much-needed Heartworm treatment.  THANK YOU!
