News and Stories from GDRNT

The American Heartworm Society and Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) are reporting that the warm winter has brought on perfect conditions for extremely high parasite populations in Texas. Heartworm isn't the only immediate concern. Fleas, hookworm and roundworm all may pose problems as well. American Heartworm Society President Wallace E. Graham Jr., DVM, of Wooldridge Creek Animal Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, has already had to perform a blood transfusion on a dog with flea-bite anemia. "Veterinarians are likely to see increased traffic in clinics," he says.

Many of you have been following Hope's story of recovery. You have shed a tear when you watched her video, donated to her care.. so now please REJOICE with us because We are so happy to announce that Hope has found her FURever home with a local couple! If you were at Highland Village this weekend you saw her posing next to the picture of her first day in rescue.... Many people did not believe it was the same dog and I can see why! Hope's story is not unique.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our AMAZING Volunteers who helped to pull of this fun great event! Not only was this a great time for Dogs and the humans who love them but it raised some much needed cash for Rescue! Look at the big crowd in our group Pic! http://youtu.be/c-_aeO0LIcg

It is almost here! We want everyone to come to DaneFest but we have to follow the rules:) Pre Registration allows you to use Express Check in and play faster! You can still come if you do not pre-register but you must bring proof from your veterinarian that your dog is altered and CURRENT on Rabies, DHLPP and BORDATELLA (which seems to be the one everyone forgets!) You will also need a registration and waiver form that you can download from the site. If you Pre-Register we will contact your vet and confirm vaccinations.
