Welcoming Willow, an 8 year old sheltie that was abandoned at the pet sitter. Her coat is a bit sun burned but will grow back in as a rich black. She’s a bit overweight at 30 pounds, but foster family will help her get the weight off. She is now up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm preventive. Willow gets along with other dogs and small children. When the vet examined her a heart murmur was found so we are having an ultrasound done to find out if medication will be required.

UPDATE: Willow has undergown an ultrasound on her heart and it has been found that she has a significant heart murmur.  She has been started on medication that we have found to be very helpful for sheltie with heart murmurs.  It  has shown to improve heart function and blood flow for dogs with heart murmurs and congestive heart failure.
