The Heartworm Project is a volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that provides medical care for shelter animals in need. Founded in 2004, the original purpose was to treat heartworm positive dogs at local shelters who were scheduled to be euthanized because of their illness. Since inception, we have expanded to include dogs and cats of all ages who need medical intervention that shelters are not capable of providing.

The Heartworm Project has also partnered with the Animal Supply House, 5474 Augusta Hwy, Lexington, SC (803-996-3493) in a joint effort to help find permanent homes for the animals in our care. Let us introduce you! Our volunteers and furry friends are there every other Saturday from 12:00 - 4:00.
