Aubrey Finds a Safe Haven at Col. Potter!
Aubrey
was found as a stray by a young woman. She was a matted mess and covered
with fleas. The young woman took her to a vet for a microchip scan and
quick check-up and then posted her on Craigslist, looking for a new home or
rescue for her. She was heartworm positive and had a growth on her
gums that needed to be removed. The young woman could not afford
the recommended procedures, and was very thankful when the Col. Potter Rescue
Team contacted her offering assistance.
This
sweet little girl is estimated to be 5 years old and weighs 13 lbs.
Our vet removed the mass and sent it out to pathology, believing it to be a
benign growth called an Epulis, and her confirming heartworm test indicates
she’s a Stage 1.
Aubrey
is in her Foster Home and undergoing the heartworm treatment, and is a true joy
to foster with her sweet temperament and excellent house manners. When she is determined to be heartworm free,
she will make a wonderful addition to some lucky home!
An
average of six to eight times each year, Col. Potter rescues a heartworm
positive Cairn, giving them the chance to overcome this dreadful condition and
live a happy, healthy life. The
prescribed treatment program runs an average cost of $1,000 and is not for the
faint of heart, requiring a dedicated Volunteer to be there for a three or four
month duration, managing every aspect of every day for the dog undergoing
treatment.
PupsEtc is pleased to offer Col. Potter a special Heartwarming Tails fundraiser to help
offset the cost of our current stable of four Foster Cairns undergoing this
expensive heartworm treatment. Beginning
Saturday, October 19th through
Friday, November 1st, a full 20% of all proceeds taken in by PupsEtc during this two week period will be donated to Col. Potter.
