You may remember last month we asked for your help to bring tiny puppy Baris over from Puerto Rico. By the time our fosters became aware of the situation, the rest of Baris' litter had been given away. But a volunteer stepped up to get Baris on a flight out of Puerto Rico, YOU stepped up to get his costs covered and now Baris is happily settled in his forever home. Well now, we're asking for your help with his mom, Perlita.
At the time Baris was rescued, the owners were adamant that they could not surrender Perlita. She was adored by the family and they simply could not part. However, not long after, the situation changed. The owner contacted our fosters again and informed them that although they loved her, they did not have the time for her and poor Perlita spent most of her time tied up on the balcony of the house in the blazing Puerto Rican sun.
But sweet Perlita is only 1 year old, NINE pounds, does wonderfully with children, adults and other dogs and our fosters quickly found her an adoptive home....until Perlita tested positive for heartworms and the adoption fell through.
Perlita deserves so much more than she has received and now she is battling a disease which, if left untreated, will put her through endless suffering before eventually taking her life. Heartworm IS treatable but it is extremely costly to treat on top of the already high flight and vetting costs. So again, we are asking for your help, so we can get this deserving mother to safety, get her healthy and FINALLY find the forever home we know has been waiting for her. Please, help us get Perlita to Homeward Trails NOW.
