Flora is a 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier in Gatesville, TX, who needs $545 for treatment for heartworm disease.

Flora was relinquished to the shelter in September after her owner's didn't have any use for her anymore, she was used a breeder dog. Meaning she was bred back to back with no rest between litters in order to make the most money for the people that owned her. She has been spayed, because of her previous history of being bred so much with little to no time in between litters, we were afraid that she might get mastitis in one or more of her teats or a pyometra while awaiting her new home at the shelter so a generous person with a special interest in Flora paid for her Spay surgery and Heartworm test. This is when we found out about her Heartworm disease.
