1/25/17 – Sassy was going to be taken to a shelter because the owner could no longer care for her. A caring woman stepped in and took Sassy into her home and to the vet. Unfortunately, it was determined that 11 year old Sassy was heart-worm positive and we were then called for help. We agreed to help this old girl and referred her to one of our vets. It was determined then that the heart worm was not very advanced and that Sassy would be a good candidate for an alternative treatment other than the very painful injections. The doctor believes that Sassy will die from old age before she will die from the heart worm. She is one beautiful girl who will now be able to spend her last days in a home with love. ~ diana
