Time is Running Out...Please Help Us Provide Heartworm Treatment!!

Hardeman Adoptable Animals(located in the Hardeman County Landfill at 86 Landfill Way Bolivar, TN. 38008) is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit charitable organization and group of volunteers rescuing dogs from euthanasia at the Hardeman County animal control kill facility.  All dogs taken in are strays, owner surrenders or breeder throwaway.  Poor dogs and pups that no one wanted, and left to be disposed of as if they were trash. They deserve better!

We currently have 11 heartworm positive dogs in the shelter! Heartworm disease is serious, and can be fatal. Adult heartworms in dogs are killed using a drug that is injected into the muscle through a series of treatments.   Each dog can cost $500 - $1000 to treat based on their size.

Our junior volunteers have worked hard all summer trying to raise money for heartworm treatment on these dogs.  But we need your help! Please consider donating to help us save these dogs lives.  Without treatment, they will not survive.  The link below will take you to our fundraising site.
