Friends, can we talk about heartworms again?

Treating heartworm-positive dogs has become our single largest veterinary expense.

Rates of heartworm infection are climbing in the Carolinas.

Marshall, a loved owner surrender who came to us when his human faced a serious health challenge of their own, has tested positive for heartworms. He is the tenth HW+ dog in our care in 2026. Marshall was not neglected. He was an inside dog. His owner just declined to give him monthly preventative, and he had no protection when bit by an infected mosquito. That's all it took.

Not providing monthly heartworm preventative is the number one reason we reject applications to adopt from us.

People send us some spicy responses along the lines of "I'm such a good dog owner that I don't provide standard veterinary care and instead do [insert untested or disproven thing] here." Garlic. Raw onions. Tea tree oil. Neem oil. Herbs sold through a website with no testing to prove safety or effectiveness.

We aren't anti-natural or alternative veterinary medicine, and we use a variety of proven, safe treatments on the rescue Pyrs.

There's no proven alternative to standard veterinary medicine for preventing heartworm disease in dogs, and heartworm disease is common, fatal, and preventable. Responsible dog owners provide preventative, which can be administered as a monthly pill or an injection.

Please take care of your Pyr's heart! ... See MoreSee Less

Someone knows who is dumping puppies in the Union/Chesterfield/Lancaster counties region. If you know who is breeding Pyr pups in that area and had a litter in late January or early Febuary, PM us. ... See MoreSee Less

Everyone is so crazy busy these days.

Take some advice from #CGPRAlum Molly: slow down and spend time with those you love. Time passes quickly!
