Adopted
Congratulations to Squirrel (now named Nala) on her adoption! This sweet girl was quickly losing hope as she sat at Okeechobee Animal Control, hoping for a miracle. She had a family and then next thing she knew she was brought to the county shelter. She was a beautiful, young, friendly dog but the problem is she was heartworm positive and the chances of someone adopting her or a rescue saving her with the mounting costs of heartworm treatment were growing slimmer by the
day. Barbi arrived at the shelter last April to choose the dogs for transport to NH and because they do not allow heartworm positive dogs into their state, Squirrel could not be considered. After choosing the dogs going on transport, Barbi never forgot about Squirrel and Nala's rescued her the next week. An amazing family were interested in adopting Squirrel and they fostered her thru her grueling months of heartworm treatment and finally Squirrel received a negative heartworm test last week. We are thrilled to announce her adoption to a wonderful family complete with 2 kids to entertain her. We wish Squirrel (Nala) and her new family years of happiness.
