More information and adoptable pets can be seen on their website https://cherishedtails.weebly.com/
Annie came to Cherished Tails from an El Paso shelter. She is a “youngster” for us at only 6
years old, but she had advanced heartworm disease that was affecting her kidneys, so she had the organs of an “older dog”. It was touch and go to see if Annie would survive heartworm treatment. She was extremely emaciated and sickly when she arrived, with coughing just racking her poor little body. Her foster family wrapped her in love and day by day she began to get stronger. The injections were very hard on Annie and she was clearly in pain, but we promised her that life was going to get better. She is 2 months post treatment and still testing positive BUT she has gained several pounds and is active and happy – a completely different dog that the one we initially met.
Recently Annie moved to a foster-to-adopt home as we await more testing in hopes that we get good news that she is heartworm free. Her new family is willing to see it through if she does need further treatment. Annie deserved a second chance at life and health and we’re glad that we were able to help her. Now she has a real home where she’ll be cherished for the special spirit and little survivor that she is…and the best is yet to come!
