Loofie Needs Our Help — Heartworm Treatment Fundraiser

Fur‑st Responder Animal Rescue has opened our doors to Loofie, a gentle, loving girl who deserves a long, healthy life. During her intake vet check, Loofie tested positive for heartworm, a serious condition that requires immediate and intensive treatment.

Heartworm treatment is costly, and as a small rescue funded entirely by community support, we’re reaching out for help. Our partners at Conestoga Veterinary Clinic have provided an estimate of $1300.00 for Loofie’s full course of treatment.

Every dollar truly makes a difference. Your support helps Loofie get the care she needs so she can finally enjoy the safe, happy life she’s been waiting for.

Our experience with Fur st Responder Animal Rescue was truly wonderful. From the very first call, it was clear how deeply Azalea cares for every animal she rescues. Nate — now Fidji — has become a beloved part of our family, and we are so grateful for the compassion and dedication shown throughout the entire process.””
— Audrey Joly

“Azalea was incredibly responsive, compassionate, and supportive as I adopted my sweet Tink just days after losing my senior dog. She shared photos, videos, and updates that made me feel connected before I even met her. I not only gained a new companion, but also a friend who continues to check in and care.”
— Allysea Atkins

“After searching everywhere for the right dog, I finally found Toby through Fur st Responder Animal Rescue. Azalea guided me through the process and sent so many videos that I felt like I already knew him before he arrived. He has fit into our home perfectly, and we are so thankful for the rescue’s dedication.”
— Vera Bowman

“As first time adopters, we had many questions, and the team spent hours with us on video calls to ensure we felt confident and informed. Their professionalism, honesty, and genuine love for the animals made the entire experience seamless. Leo is everything they described — gentle, loving, and the perfect addition to our family.”
— Jenny Dickinson Humphreys

“They are amazing — their love for animals and support throughout the adoption process is impossible to describe. Thank you so much for bringing Sal into our family.”
— Nayane P. Góz Boechat

“Azalea is one of the most caring and committed people I’ve ever met when it comes to rescuing animals. She works tirelessly to save them and match them with the right families, making the entire adoption process smooth and supportive. She is truly a hero">— Shelley King
