In Loving Memory Of Sahara

Sahara came into the care of Lucks Lucky Tags and Dog Rescue Inc heavily pregnant after being dumped in the bush. Once her puppies were born safely, she then faced the extremely painful and stressful process of heartworm treatment after testing positive for the disease.

Just as Sahara was beginning to feel comfortable, safe and happy again, events took a devastating turn. On New Year’s Day, the much-loved dog passed away following complications from treatment.

Sahara will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who cared for her. Her fight is over, but her legacy lives on through the lives she touched.

Heartworm prevention reminders:
• Keep pets on year-round heartworm prevention as recommended by your veterinarian
• Ensure regular veterinary check-ups and annual heartworm testing
• Use vet-approved preventative medication consistently and on time
• Protect pets from mosquito exposure, particularly during warmer months
• Never skip doses, even if your pet appears healthy

Early prevention saves lives. Heartworm disease is preventable, but once contracted, it can be deadly. Donations help Lucks Lucky Tags and Dog Rescue Inc continue to save dogs like Sahara.
