Guilford Co. Animal Services hosts event for dogs with heartworms

Guilford County Animal Services officials said they get many dogs with heartworms. It makes it harder for them to find the animals a home.

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — Dozens found it in their hearts to support the Fall in Love with Dogs festival in High Point Saturday.

Guilford County Animal Services and High Point Parks and Recreation partnered on the event.

All money raised goes to the Have a Heart program.

The fund provides treatment for heartworm-positive dogs.

The Assistant Director for Animal Services said about a quarter of the dogs they take in have the disease.

Organizers want to be able to quickly treat any heartworm-positive dogs they get, so owners are more likely to adopt them.
