He was losing hope. When 7-year-old doggie Phelps arrived at the Humane Society of Broward County from another shelter, he was heartworm positive, and just skin and bones. This sweet natured soul was so defeated, he just laid on his kennel floor with his face down. After a month of care from our medical team, as well as animal care staff and volunteers, he started healing and gained some weight.
Even though he was on the road to recovery, Phelps was overlooked by adopters time and again because of his age and heartworm illness. Luckily, the perfect family came in to our shelter and fell in love with Phelps. Now he has the comfort and love he has been waiting an entire lifetime for
Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to give Phelps the chance to find his loving home and his heartworm treatment is being provided for free even now that he is adopted.
