Adopting a Heartworm-Positive Dog (More at the link above.)

A diagnosis of heartworm disease is not a death sentence, although for reasons not always understood, for some heartworm-positive dogs, the disease is fatal. Heartworm-positive dogs often go unnoticed or unwanted in the shelter, for no other reason than the stigma that they are either extremely sick or have behavior problems. In reality, they typically make great companions and can have a relatively normal quality of life if the condition is treated and managed appropriately.

Heartworm-positive dogs in a shelter are dogs that have been neglected, either as:

-- Strays, lost pets, transfers, or dogs relocated from other parts of the United States

-- Owner surrenders (for reasons including change in owner lifestyle, inability to afford care, or simply no longer wanting the pet)

-- Confiscated animals (often due to neglect or abuse)

-- Survivors of hoarding situations
