Adopted
Congratulations to Barky on his adoption! This lucky boy was originally a prospect to go on transport to Nala's partner in NH when it was discovered he was heartworm positive and they do not accept heartworm positive dogs in NH. It is truly an awful crisis at Okeechobee Animal Control with so many heartworm positive dogs and months later Barky was still waiting at the shelter, hoping for a miracle for someone to rescue him and pay for his heartworm treatment. Christine, who works at All Creatures Animal Hospital already adopted Munson from Nala's and when they sadly lost their other dog she reached out to Barbi and described what they were looking for. Jessica, the amazing manager at the shelter knew just the right dog for them. He had to be dog and cat friendly and Barky went right from the shelter to Christine's home. It really takes a village to keep saving these lives and we thank Christine, Vinnie and Munson for welcoming Barky into their family. Barky still needs to go thru heartworm treatment and he would like everyone to know - HEARTWORM DISEASE IS 100% PREVENTABLE BY STAYING ON PREVENTATIVE! We wish Barky and his new family years of fun and happiness.
