    Do you place heartworm positive dogs up for foster to adopt or directly to adoption?

    Hello! 

     Here at Grand Prairie Animal Services, HW+ dogs go up for adoption.  Their HW treatment is included in their adoption and we perform it here at our facility on a scheduled date after they complete 30 days of Doxy that we also provide.

    Thanks,

    Do you have any agreements or forms you are able/willing to share? 

    Also, how do you handle it if the adopter does not come back for treatment as scheduled/evades further contact?

    Thanks!
