Sweet Lincoln had a severe case of heartworms and he had to have a place to stay where his treatment could be closely monitored. Lincoln was transferred to Acredale Animal Hospital in Virginia Beach where they took amazing care of Lincoln. Gimme Shelter was able to sponsor his heartworm treatment and some of his boarding costs but his total care wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for the help of many "heroes" who stepped forward to donate to Lincoln's boarding costs. This close monitoring probably saved his life. On Monday, March 9th, Lincoln was cleared to go to his wonderful fosters, Laura and Caleb, where he is enjoying lots of love and care.
Here is a little "update" from Laura ... "Lincoln is doing great!!! Just now, he was resting by my side while I folded laundry. He stuck his nose into the basket, pulled out a pair of socks, and started tossing them into the air - and catching them!! It was adorable, but also made me think of the tough life he has had, and how any fun he experienced was fun he made for himself. Caleb and I promise to show him lots of fun times once he is fully recovered!!"
Thank you so much to Laura and Caleb for fostering Lincoln and to ALL who helped get him where he is right now!
