Penelope, a small Chihuahua, was one of the dogs who needed urgent care from the Hurricane Joaquin rescue. She tested positive for heartworm as well as Demodectic mange two times. With the diligence of our medical staff and the monetary support of the Petfinder Foundation, Penelope is now heartworm-negative and free from mange!
