It is one thing to be treated but it takes 3 months or more to get a negative result...plus you have to keep them totally quiet for 6 weeks only taking them out on a leash to potty...so there is alot more involved than meets the eye...not too many takers on dogs that have do not have a negative result...actually I will not adopt out dogs that have not gotten a negative result back. HW + dogs take up space for many months that healthy ones do not...this is a sad but very true fact of rescue. SO while I am treating one already I can not take more space for 3-4 months on another one. Sucks but that al valuable space is the problem unless you can foster for that time frame????????hmmmmmm????
wsumner26 if that is an offer to take them in I would be more than willing to set up a transport to get them to you. I would even drive a leg or two.Originally Posted By: wsumner26In the south, rescues must treat heartworms regularly, or they don't rescue many dogs. It is a fact of life down here, and that is why we call it "rescue".![]()
