This just in from Canine Pet Rescue in Dacula...Carla has been battling to save as many as possible. Any dog that tests heartworm positive pretty much faces a death sentence, as it makes them unadoptable to the public and therefore available ONLY to rescues! It seems almost inhumane to take a dog out of one of these facilities, have it tested and if it comes back positive....bring it back to almost certain death. Can you imagine the poor animals confusion and terror? I know that I could not do it and neither can Carla. In Carla's own words... _"There are 2 pups under 8 months,2 three year olds, and 3 six year olds that need help here, just in GA. Two of the 6 year olds have been living at a house alone for a year since their owner died!!" If you can offer a foster home to ANY of these dogs (whatever the length of time) PLEASE contact Carla at adopt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It takes time on the computer to locate and convince northern rescues to take these dogs...and time is the one thing that they do not have.
