Say hello to Escriva Ranger – lost little shih tzu with heartworms
This little stray boy waited for months to come into our rescue. Ok, the story goes like this…a good samaritan found him several months ago. Cute little boy, matted, full of fleas and sores. Then, darn, if he didn’t escape from her yard while we were making arrangements to pick him up. Finally, last week, she found him again – he looked much worse than originally and we took him immediately into the vet. Good news is that he is sweet and a very cute boy. Bad news is that he is very high heartworm positive and has every worm out there. He needs to start his treatment immediately. His vetting, including the heartworm treatment, treatment for his worms will be close to $400. HELP!! I promise, we will stop some day soon. I just keep saying – “if we could only convince the backyard breeders from breeding for ONE year, just ONE year, we could all get caught up!!” But, until that happens, we will try our hardest to squeeze each and every little dog into the program that we can. DONATION STATUS AS OF 10 PM: $60, THANKS ANN ERVIN, IN HONOR OF PETEY AND ANNE SCHWARTZ. ONLY $350 TO GO FOR THIS ADORABLE CUTIE!
Anyway, as long as we possibly can squeeze one in, we will. I know we’re too aggressive, I know we take in too many, but look at that face!! It is NOT his fault that he had lousy owners – who let him go stray and get heartworms. I want to make it up to him!!
