Lexi’s Beating Heart Medical Fund

Home for Good Dog Rescue saves more than 50 Heartworm-positive dogs from the brink of death each year. You may be familiar with the monthly preventative treatment for your family pup.   While this disease may be one of the easiest to prevent, it is also one of the most expensive to treat. The cost of treatment can be in the thousands for some dogs depending on size and severity of the infestation. Most shelters do not have the financial resources to treat this disease or the capacity to house dogs being treated. Therefore, as soon as a dog tests positive for heartworms, they are most often euthanized. The good news is you can join us in our fight against Heartworm disease and save lives of these deserving dogs.

Heartworm disease is a serious and, if left untreated, fatal disease. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of affected animals, causing severe lung disease, heart failure, and damage to other organs in the body. Mosquitoes are carriers of heartworms and have the ability to infect dogs all-year-round, especially in the Southern portion of the United States and during the summer months.

Home for Good Dog Rescue is on the forefront of educating and equipping the communities in which we serve to promote awareness, prevention, and treatment of this deadly disease. With your support of Lexi’s Beating Heart Medical Fund, Heartworm-positive dogs will be saved from certain death and provided with the life-saving treatment they deserve.  Your donation can help us rescue and treat more Heartworm-positive dogs than ever before.  Our goal is for 60 Heartworm-positive dogs to be saved, medically treated, and find their "home for good".  Please join us and make your donation today.
