Kizzy found herself at a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy overfull Kentucky shelter....so overfull that dogs are in crates in the hallways.  She also tested positive for heartworm disease.  We got her out of the shelter as soon as we possibly could and got her to the vet clinic to confirm the heartworm test result and to get all of her other routine vetting done.  

Our girl received the royal treatment with a Pilots N Paws flight to her Indiana foster home, special thanks to Pilot Mike and Marilee and to volunteer Laura for getting her from the clinic to the airport.  She is getting all settled in there and will start the injection part of her treatment in a few weeks.  

Please keep Kizzy in your thoughts and prayers for treatment and check back in for updates on her.  

8/2 UPDATE:  Kizzy had her first round of her arm treatment and tolerated it very well. She will go in for her next round for the second and third injections in a few weeks.

8/18 UPDATE:  Kizzy had her second and third injections for her heartworm treatment and is doing well.  She will need a few weeks of crate rest and down time then she will be ready to find her family.  Kizzy is spayed and all vetted.  She is currently being treated for a UTI but is ready, ready, ready to move to a longer term foster or adoptive home.
