Ivy's Bio

Ivy was formerly Gertie from Houston TX and was adopted last May. Her adopter contacted us today about her partner dropping over with a stroke and needs her total care now and she can’t keep Ivy any longer. Sadly, Ivy was heart worm tested today and she is now Positive even though in the adoption agreement it states the adoptive dog must be kept on heart worm preventives. The adopter fell on hard times and didn’t reach out for help. I get it, I do , because I’ve fell on hard times before myself so instead of complaining and pointing fingers, we step up and do what we need to do for Ivy. She is such a sweet girl who is dog, cat and kid friendly and is a 5 years old. Some of you may remember she is the girl who had scars all on her legs due to other dogs biting her and beating her up. She has seen the vet and checked out great except for being heart worm positive. She is fully vetted otherwise along with a microchip. Ivy is on doxycycline now for 30 days and then she will be able to undergo fast kill treatment but she needs to be in a home first. Ivy does not like dominant dogs but is dog friendly if you have a dog in your home. She also does not mess with cats and is kid friendly. She just wants to be near her person for attention and love
