Made it to Homeward Trails!
Roxanne made it Homeward Trails safely! Now she desperately needs our help to treat the heartworms growing and multiplying inside her heart. Before it's too late.
This sweet-as-can-be little girl has struggled to survive in her first year of life. It is a wonder she has managed to find food and water while living on the streets as a puppy. As a stray she has had to cope with harsh weather conditions, disease, and starvation. On top of struggling to make it one day to the next, she has endured abuse from the animals around her. Roxanne has a natural sweetness that made her an easy target. She has to navigate her natural instinct to find a pack while she was being abused by the pack leaders. Her innate sweetness made her submissive and unable to defend herself against the stronger strays.
But Roxanne had a stroke of luck when she was picked up by a local rescuer. She's not out of the woods yet though. She's heartworm positive - a potentially deadly condition that needs to be treated immediately. And her rescuer is only a temporary reprieve for Roxanne and in order to have the best chance at adoption and treatment, Roxanne needs to get to the mainland. We can get her on a flight from Puerto Rico on Friday! Please help get her to safety and get her the treatment she desperately needs!
