Brooke Lufkin – Heartworm positive and left tied to a thrift store
Here’s how it started….
Hi~
I was hoping you would be able to help me. We are a non-profit 501c3 rescue org for cats located in Lufkin TX. This Monday, we had a shih-tzu and her pup dropped at our thrift store. We called our local shelter and they said they would take them if we had them groomed and vaccinated. We took them to the groomers and the groomers fell in love with the puppy (which was not a purebred) and we took the mama shih-tzu to the vet were she received her distemper, parvo, rabies, bordatella vaccinations. She was also dewormed, had advantage treatment and tested for heartworms. She tested positive for heartworms and our shelter will euthanize heartworm positive dogs.I don’t know what to do with her. I have no experience with dogs.The vet said she is very healthy and very social. She is about a year old and a purebred shih-tzu according to the vet. She stands on her back legs and begs, it is really cute. I am at a loss, any help or advice would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.
So, on my way home from my niece’s wedding, I picked up this little girl in Lufkin and and she is now awaiting heartworm treatment. We need to raise funds of $350 for her treatment. Is she not a cutie? Please help this little girl we named after the citizen that saved her, Brooke.
UPDATE: 3:30 PM, Tuesday – Donations: $325 – thanks Brooke Cooley, Ginger Warnick, Debbie Styron in honor of Malaika, Cat Martindale.
