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????

Hannas mom, I don't know what state you are from, but in the south, most dogs either have heartworms or they will get them. Unfortunately, many people down here do not give preventative.
We do not pick and choose our rescues on the basis of heartworm tests. We do not have to keep a dog for 3 months after treatment.
The rescue I volunteer for recently took the sable female from Reidsville Ga. If you want to see some problems, please look at her thread. I guess you missed it earlier when we were trying to find help for her.

My heart is breaking to tell all of my big guy's fan club
that he has been diagnosed with DM. I'm going to do all I
can to make his quality of life as good as possible. Please
keep the brave, brave boy in your thoughts. It is never fair
for a dog to have an awful disease but poor Bravo deserves...

Last June, I had been looking for another dog. Not intentionally, just browsing, as I had just adopted a puppy I named Hank (he's an aussie x Australian cattle dog mix...
