Some rescues won't even treat for heart worm, they think it's too painful and will automatically put to sleep. I’ve read that YHR won’t adopt to people who won’t use heartworm meds, and I love that policy! RIP Callie, I hope people will learn from this. My memory isn’t so great, so we have the company send us a reminder and I also mark it on the calendar when the boys get their monthly pill, and now they have a monthly reminder app for your phone or ipad. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...eartgard&hl=en You can also use the email reminder.

It was on FB and Taylor had mentioned that it should be posted here as a reminder. I too thought it was a great idea.
Maybe some good can come from her senseless death. This was one of the saddest, if not THE saddest cases I have ever dealt with. Just SO preventable.
