Success Stories

Buddy11, August, 2001

Buddy 11 was surrendered to a shelter in Memphis, Tn. at the age of two, because his former owner was moving. The shelter contacted the rescuer about this chocolate boy. Buddy had already been neutered and appeared to have had some training. Unfortunately, he was heartworm positive, and the rescuer had no funds to treat him. Heartworm prevention is necessary in most (if not all) parts of the United States. Preventative, given once a month, would have kept Buddy 11 from having to go through treatment.

LABMED was able to fund the heartworm treatment for Buddy 11 and give him his second chance at a happy, healthy life.
