April is Heartworm Awareness Month!

Our April raffle basket fundraiser will benefit the heartworm positive dogs undergoing treatment with Operation Paws for Homes Rescue. Operation Paws for Homes is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization devoted to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of dogs and cats who have overcome great odds and deserve wonderful, caring forever homes.

Heartworm positive dogs are less likely to receive safe harbor if they find themselves in a shelter. Rural shelters rely on rescues like OPH to save as many dogs as possible. OPH trains their fosters to be educated and understanding of heartworm disease, treatment and recovery so their fosters are not hesitant to foster a heartworm positive dog.
In 2023, OPH treated 65 heartworm positive dogs.
In 2024, OPH treated 45 heartworm positive dogs
In 2025, OPH treated 72 heartworm positive dogs
And so far in 2026, 19 dogs have already been treated.

Raffle basket tickets are $1 each or 6 tickets for $5. They can be purchased at the front desk or by phone.

You can also support Operation Paws for Homes by participating in person or virtually at their upcoming 5k! Visit www.oph5k.com
