What a great program.  I also believe it is lack of education for owners that do not keep their dogs on heartworm prevention.  We find that alot here in TN due to the fact that many are moving here from the West Coast where it is not an issue.

Thank you Dawn,
Education is a major part of our program. In fact, we JUST produced This is an auto message that goes on when I go off! I will respond to your message the next business day. Thanks for reaching out to The Inner Pup. The Inner Genie needs a break but I promise you will hear back during work hours. Heartwormedly yours, gg 12 minute education video on heartworm for professionals in animal welfare and we are currently figuring out how to distribute this. We are really excited about it, and consider it the best and most digestible video out there. Please stay tuned to our social media and our website www.theinnerpup.org, for updates on all we do, including distributing our education video!

I am in a municipal shelter in rural Georgia, I provide as many low to no-cost services to the community.  I provide no-cost heartworm testing and preventative for a $5.00 donation.  The same goes for flea/tick preventative.

I volunteer for a rural non profit rescue in Tarrytown, GA. I know you said you provide no cost/low cost tests but do you have a no/low cost treatment plan for the dogs who come up positive? One of our biggest expenses after food, is vet care. Most dogs taken in need some form of deworming. You work for your county I assume? Our county doesn't have services near by and SoCo is a full time job for the CEO presently as we can seem to find even staff that are reliable. We got a grant this year for spay/ neuter program which is wonderful but deworming eats up a lot of costs.
