Rescue for Rascal! Heartworm treatment.

Rascal is the face of love. He is the face of determination, spirit, and strength. He is also one of the lucky ones, because he has the opportunity to get a second chance.

Rascal's life thus far has been battered, broken, and disheartening. His story is one that you read in the headlines that make most people turn away, unable to read the articles that make them question their fellow man-kind, and his ability to compassionately care about other living, defenseless beings.

Rascal's life was not one of love, enrichment, or even adequacy. He lived his life in an outdoor pen, riddled with filth, feces, and urine. His care level had diminished to almost nothing, and then completely vanished when his owners moved, and left him behind without a second thought as to what would happen to the little dog.

He watched from behind the same caged walls he'd spent his life prisoner, as they drove away, never looking back at him.

He knew he'd been abandoned.

From that day on, Rascal spent his days and nights whimpering, crying out, and begging for help. Concerned neighbors heard his pleas and called local animal control officers to take in the dog. Upon response, he was seized and taken to the nearby animal shelter, where his fate was completely uncertain. Again, Rascal looked out through caged walls, confined as if he were a prisoner- though he had committed no crime.

To make a somber story more upsetting, it was determined that Rascal is heartworm positive. Heartworm disease is a serious, life threatening disease which is almost certainly a death sentence for animals that contract it while in shelter settings due to its extremely expensive, and extensive treatments.

Rascal is fortunate, despite his broken past, because he has the opportunity to be saved. If funds can be raised to aid in Rascal's heartworm treatment, Mobile Mutts Rescue will take him in, and ultimately, save his life. Rascal is ensured a bright future if he can undergo the treatment he so desperately needs. Rascal never has to look out of caged walls again.

Please help us save Rascal. No amount is too small. Be a part of Rascal's new future- be a part of saving his life, and donate today.
