[COURTESY] Georgia

NOTE: This is a Courtesy Post for a dog that is NOT in our care. We are working with our volunteer transporter in the Carolinas who runs a separate, private rescue operation, saving dogs on death row. Transport can be arranged if interested! <br/>We will be reviewing applications and working with the volunteer to help ensure Georgia finds a good home. <br/><br/>Attached are pictures of Georgia (Boxer mix, 58 lbs, 8-9 years old per the shelter, spayed). She came from the Heard County Animal Shelter in Macon, GA, and were slated for euthanasia when I flew down to rescue them in early December, 2025.  Georgia have since been treated for heart worms. Georgia has had a more complicated course due to a much larger heart worm burden, but she is doing well now and looks great.  Following a 2-hour flight at 9000 feet from GA to NC, she developed what appeared to be high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) with severe respiratory distress, and was rescued medically with aggressive diuresis.  Following this episode, I took her to a veterinary cardiologist for a consult and echocardiogram.  This study showed that Georgia had pulmonary hypertension, possibly from the large worm burden, but the cardiologist felt that it would be OK to go ahead and treat her for the heart worms.  She has continued to guide us through Georgia’s treatment, and as I mentioned above she is doing great.  She is currently on Vetmedin and sildenafil twice a day, and will require a guardian/owner with a sense of responsibility to care for her.  "As I said to you on the phone, both dogs have loving personalities and I would keep both of them if I didn’t already have 6 dogs.  They are very popular with the staff at the vet clinic where they are currently boarded.  I really want them to go to good homes.  Thanks for any help you can provide."<br/><br/>APPLY TO SAVE A DOG<br/>https://form.jotform.com/243184639148060
