April is National Heartworm Awareness Month
Every year, beautiful Golden Retrievers come into our rescue needing treatment for heartworms — a completely preventable, fully treatable condition. What they need most during this time isn’t medical expertise.
They need a calm, loving home and a patient heart.
By fostering a heartworm positive Golden, you become the reason a dog gets a second chance at a healthy, joyful life. We cover all medical expenses, provide full support, and connect you with experienced fosters who have walked this path before.

Hear From Real Fosters Who’ve Done It
We’ve gathered several fosters who have successfully guided Goldens through heartworm treatment — plus one of our trusted veterinarians — to share what the journey is really like.
Watch and listen to the discussions to learn what to expect, what makes it rewarding, and why so many fosters say they’d gladly do it again.
