Yeti, Scotch, Chico and Susie are just four of the hundreds of dogs that have been rescued and transported to the Kent Animal Shelter from overcrowded shelters where they were targeted for euthanasia. How could these beautiful pets be destroyed? Because they had heartworm. A totally curable disease but because of that diagnosis, rescue groups pass them over and they have no way out, no hope at all. Kent provides a lifeline to these animals, the forgotten, because they can be easily treated and placed in loving, responsible homes where they can live the life they so deserve. Please donate to the K-9 Heartworm Fund so that Kent can continue to give hope to these forgotten animals. https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/kentanimalshelter
