Featured Stories
Every dog has his or her own unique story. But there are four particular stories we would like to share with you. BMR has spent over $10,000 to save the lives of these four dogs, which has depleted our savings. But they are worth every penny! Several generous supporters have made donations to help us defray some of these medical costs.
For anyone who isn’t familiar with heartworm, it can be fatal if left untreated. Heartworm is transmitted by mosquitoes and is very much treatable; a dog can go on to live a very normal life. The treatment is costly – a minimum of $1,000 per dog. BMR could not see putting these three dogs down when we knew we could help them. Please give your dog(s) heartworm preventive medication on a monthly basis!
Meet Luke:
Luke, a yellow Lab mix, was pulled from a high kill shelter in Ohio just days before his time was up. Luke was suffering; he was in excruciating pain that was never diagnosed until he arrived at BMR. At 2 years old he could not even sit because his hips were so bad. We took him to see an orthopedic surgeon who told us after reviewing his X-rays that his “hips were so bad it pains him to look at them.” Due to severe hip dysplasia, Luke needed a double hip surgery costing over $5,000 and extensive rehabilitation afterwards. Luke went through his surgery, and with the help of his loving foster (now adoptive parents) he completed his physical therapy and is doing great. He can do all the things a healthy 2 year old lab should be able to do, including sit down.
Thank you, Mike and Karen.
Meet Prince:
Prince is a Beagle who was heartworm positive at 4 years old because was not given the proper preventative medication by his previous owner. He was placed in a shelter where they were going to put him to sleep. Brendan’s Meadows stepped in to save Prince and have him treated for heartworm along with a few other parasites. He is with a wonderful foster family who would like to adopt him as soon as he’s fully recovered.
Thank you, Alan.
Meet Maddy:
Maddy is a heartworm positive 6-year-old German Shepherd who was dumped in a West Virginia kill-shelter for chasing chickens. The real reason was that she was heartworm positive because her original owners did not provide her with preventative care. When blood tests were performed the heartworm levels was so severe it could be seen on the slides in her blood. She is finishing up her treatments in a foster home in WV and will be ready to join a foster home here in New Jersey as soon as she is cleared to travel.
Thank you, Sarah.
Meet Mason:
Mason, aka Blackie, a 1.5-year-old black Lab mix, was going to be put to sleep in the shelter in North Carolina because he was a black dog in the south and had been there too long (a few days.) BMR committed to saving him and had him vetted. That is when we found out this poor little guy was in dire need of veterinary attention, being heartworm positive and having a triple play of parasites. He has been treated and cleared of the whip and round worm and started his final step in the treatment of his heartworm in mid-June. He is being fostered by a family who is a supporter of BMR and was part of helping get our rescue off and running.
