He has arrived! Treatment still needed.
Adorable Carlos has finally made it to Homeward Trails! We are se excited to see what the future has in store for this pup, but first we MUST treat his heartworm and take care of his aching, painful teeth!
Heartworm disease is deadly. Broken, painful teeth can lead to all sorts of health conditions, including heart failure. Both conditions have a grim outcome. If Carlos has any chance of a bright and happy future, he'll need treatments as soon as possible!
Carlos is a 4-year-old Beagle mix who's been having a tough time lately. He's currently at a shelter that is under resourced, and needs to be transferred ASAP to have any hope of recovery and adoption.
Carlos has tested positive for heartworm--a terrible, deadly disease that starts with coughing, fatigue, and weight loss, and ends in heart failure. Heartworm Disease is caused by actual worms that grow inside the chambers of the heart. They grow and multiply, and as they do, the dog's body starts to shut down. Luckily, this gruesome condition can be cured. Treatment can be pricey, and we'll need your help!
The shelter that currently has Carlos is doing all they can, but they're struggling. They have limited funds and can't afford to treat heartworm in any of their animals. The only hope for Carlos is to be transferred to a rescue like Homeward Trails; a place that has the resources needed to help him heal and feel his absolute best.
Carlos is also in desperate need of a dental! He must have been neglected in his previous life. Even though he's just 4 years old, his teeth show some serious signs of wear and tear! He will need a professional dental procedure to clean his mouth, and treat the problem areas that are causing him so much pain now.
Carlos can be shy when meeting new people, but warms up in no time. With those big eyes, and that sweet face--it isn't hard to fall in love with this little guy! His fundraising goal is high, but we know he is worth it. He deserves this chance at health and happiness, and all the joy that a new family can bring.
