How Mrs. Diaz Turned Love and Prevention Into a Heartworm-Free Victory

This is Mrs. Diaz and her 5 year old dog Milo. Mrs. Diaz received Milo when he was just a puppy as a gift from her grandson. Mrs. Diaz who immediately fell in love with Milo, made him a special member of her family. Mrs. Diaz who resides in the Pets For Life focus area, joined Pets for Life a year ago after receiving a flyer at her home. Mrs. Diaz was able to have Milo neutered and vaccinated through Pets For Life and has even been able to receive medical treatment for her almost 17 year old cat Pelusa!

Milo who Initially tested positive for Heartworms in November of 2018, was all smiles on his latest visit on December 4th to PAAC because he tested Heartworm Negative! Mrs. Diaz was ecstatic because she has been consistently obtaining Milo’s monthly Heartworm prevention through PAAC and it has paid off!

Mrs. Diaz stated that the Pets for Life program is excellent for people with limited access to resources. Mrs. Diaz has been appreciative of the Pets for Life program since joining because as someone who is on a fixed income, the free services obtained through Pets for Life have helped her tremendously. Mrs. Diaz stated she encourages people in the community to have their pets spayed/neutered to avoid overpopulation. Mrs. Diaz feels it is our duty to help community animals in need because all animals deserve nothing but love.
