Marbles is available through South Lake Animal League (aka The Animal League).

She is heartworm positive and will be starting treatment. Don't let that scare you, though. Dogs are treated for heartworm all the time and they live long, good lives. After receiving treatment they are able to go for walks, play, etc. People are scared and leary of dogs who have had heartworms, but they shouldn't be. It does not make them handicapped. If you or someone you know is looking for a cute little dog, please consider Marbles.

I second GeoGeo's comment about dogs living long healthy lives after heartworm treatment. We had a Springer Spaniel that had heartworm years ago. She was treated and lived a long time, and you never would have known she had heartworm. Don't shy away, you may miss your next best friend......
