Meet NALA
Nala has heartworms and OCAS is working on her treatment. If you're interested in her, they can give you more details! In North Carolina, it's unfortunately common to see many dogs that are infected with heartworms (they are transmitted by mosquito bites). Heartworm disease may cause severe lung disease, heart failure, or other organ damage in dogs. It's usually fatal if left untreated. Heartworm treatment is costly. With your support, OCAS can help more dogs with this disease - resulting in healthier dogs that are even more likely to get adopted. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign. Notes from her adventure buddies and foster friends:`So friendly with all humans and loves attention and belly rubs. She was a little reactive when she heard other dogs, but was able to settle with pets and treats.`
