  Animal Rescue is in Need of Dog Food Donations Cat Litter
  
  With the increase in animal surrenders due to the bad economy and with the increase of animals transferred from Animal Services before being euthanized, the Sanctuary is in need of dog food donations to help feed all the animals residing at the Sanctuary until they are adopted.
  
  (Unfortunately this has become an on-going need as the stores that once donated ripped bags of food are also being hit with the bad economy and are now taping the bags and offering them for sale at a discounted rate instead of donating them to the Sanctuary).
  
  Bags of food can be dropped off at the following locations: The Sanctuary, 20010 East SR 64, 34212 (leave at the front gate) (941) 750-8185; Tractor Supply, 4404 East SR 64, (941) 748-2157; Sherrie's Furniture & Appliances, 5523 15th St. E, (941) 749-5837.; and Ruff Cuts, 502 - 36th St. W., (941) 748-7833.
  
  Cat litter is also needed. Please donate the least expensive brand as the litter boxes are changed frequently so quantity is most important.

  Heartworm Positive Dogs Transferred from Animal Services Need Sponsors
  
  There is a large number of adoptable dogs and cats that are needlessly being euthanized for no other reason than lack of space or time it takes to treat an animal with treatable conditions. The Sanctuary helps house and provide vet care for these adoptable animals until a new adoptive home can be found without fear of euthanization as the Sanctuary is a no-kill 501(c)(3) animal rescue operating since August of 2004 in East Manatee County.
  
  As expected, the New Year has brought in more transferred / surrendered dogs that have tested positive for heartworms. Due to the high cost of heartworm treatment for owners ($1,000 to $2,500) dogs are surrendered with the hopes of receiving needed medical care that the owner can not afford and finding a new adoptive home for their pet. Unfortunately Heartworm positive dogs are very expensive to treat and require the most recovery time of all animals transferred and would be the first to be euthanized. Treatment consists of 2 to 4 weeks of antibiotics; an immicitide shot, overnight stay at the vet’s office with a 2nd immiticide shot the following morning; crate rest for 30 days; then a 3rd immiticide shot followed by 30 more days of crate rest; placed on Heartguard heartworm prevention at 3 months and re-tested at 6 months to make sure the dog is heartworm negative.
  
  The Sanctuary has found a vet that has agreed to provide treatment, alter and provide shots at a reduced price: approx. $225 each dog covers altering, shots, and heartworm treatment including a 6-month supply of heartworm prevention that the dog takes to their new adoptive home after the treatment.
  
  The Sanctuary is seeking sponsors to help cover the vet costs to treat the heartworm positive dogs. Donations can be mailed to the Sanctuary, 20010 East SR 64, Bradenton, FL 34212; credit card donations can be made online on the Sanctuary's website www.NapierFamilyFarm.com; or to the Sanctuary's vet: Animal Medical Center of Bradenton, (941) 753-6709 in care of Napier's Animal Sanctuary heartworm fund.
