| Heartworms Kill Dogs!! callieyt1.jpg In Loving Memory of Callie 2010-2013 Callie's death was 100 percent preventable! Her owner made a choice not to protect her from heartworms and the damage done to her lungs by the time she came to Yorkie Haven Rescue was permanent. Callie was only 3 years old when she died. After months of being treated with multiple medications, our precious girl went to Rainbow Bridge. PLEASE do not let this happen to your pup! Heartworm preventatives for our little pups are relatively inexpensive. Sadly, I see a lot of posts where people thnk they are giving their pups poison and they opt not to treat them. If they could see the meds Callie was on....never mind the fact they cost hundreds each month.....they might think again. If they could see a precious baby struggling to catch her breath ... they might think again. If they could see a precious girl die just because someone failed to prevent something so easily preventable...they might think again. If they had met Callie for just one day....they might think again. Callie was one of the sweetest pups I have ever met and I will never, ever forget her. I hope that by posting this, maybe Callie will be saving other pups from her fate. The threat is real!! Please please protect your beloved pups. RIP sweet Callie. We will see you again one day...until then you run with the angels sweet baby. callieyt2.jpg Callie was affectionately nicknamed " Bug " by her foster parents. callieyt3.jpg Callie - Pretty in Pink

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Thanks for posting this important reminder, there's no reason not to use heartworm medication, it's one of the safest medications we can give our pets, and it prevents a deadly disease that can be painful to treat and leave long lasting health affects as seen in Callie. 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.

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.

| How very sad! I am so sorry. All of ours get their preventative EVERY month. I lost a baby to this terrible thing many,many years ago. Before much was known and the meds were not as effective. |

| Poor sweet Callie What a heartbreaking and horrific ordeal that sweet baby went through. I will never understand why someone wouldn't do the monthly preventative. RIP Callie
