What if the dog Id like to adopt is Heartworm positive?
Beginning Wednesday, October 20, 2010, any adoptable shelter dog that tests positive for heartworms will be treated for the disease after adoption, at no cost to the adopter, by SPCA of Texas partner VCA Animal Hospitals. The adopter may choose the Metroplex-area VCA Animal Hospital location from a list given to the adopter at the time of adoption. This partnership will provide the best total care for heartworm positive dogs in treatment, as the animals will have access to emergency care and overnight stays if necessary.
