Heartworms in dogs are easy to prevent, but difficult and costly to cure. Sheldon Rubin, 2007-2010 president of the American Heartworm Society, separates facts from the myths about heartworm infestations in dogs.
Q: How do dogs get heartworms?
A: Only by the bite of an infected mosquito. There’s no other way dogs get heartworms. And there’s no way to tell if a mosquito is infected. That’s why prevention is so important.

NTBHR relies on volunteer fosters to care for our rescued Basset Hounds. We do not have a shelter facility. In a foster home our dogs are a part of an actual family. This enables each dog to become well socialized with other dogs and people. This interaction provides a healthier environment for the dog, ultimately enabling a smoother transition into an adoptive home where children and other dogs are likely.
Fostering is a rewarding experience for everyone involved. Not only do foster parents nurture and care for their dog, there is the added benefit of receiving the love and attention right back from the dog you nurture. Many families foster as a way to teach their children about compassion and responsibility.
We are in urgent need of additional foster families. If you would like to become a foster home for NTBHR, please complete our foster application and our foster coordinator will contact you. There are few acts more heart-warming than helping to save the life of a loving Basset Hound.
PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A FOSTER FAMILY FOR NTBHR.
You provide the love............. we provide the healthcare.
