Kim Box Memorial Fund for Senior or "Fospice" Dogs
All Shepherd Rescue is heartbroken to share that on 5/29/25, Kimberly Box lost her courageous battle with cancer. Kim's passion for dogs was strong, and even while undergoing many treatments, Kim continued to volunteer in any role she could.
Kim served in many roles for ASR. She was a member of the Board of Directors, a puppy foster, and worked with the reference team on application reviews. Her true calling, though, was as Foster Coordinator, as she worked tirelessly to find fosters for dogs that were out of time in shelters. She also had a huge soft spot for the seniors. She would have pulled every single senior who was in danger and grieved for those we could not help.
Kim was preceded in death by her white German Shepherd Kody, a "foster fail" who was her constant companion throughout her lengthy illness. Kody never left her side until his sudden death due to hemangiosarcoma. Kim is survived by her husband, Jeff, and their other GSD, Karma.
As treatments failed and she knew her time was short, she asked that in lieu of any flowers, donations be made to All Shepherd Rescue. To honor her memory, All Shepherd Rescue is pleased to announce the formation of the
Kim Box Memorial Fund for Senior or "Fospice" dogs.... dogs that will remain permanent fosters due to age-related or other medical issues. All donations made in her honor will be distributed to this fund to help cover the expenses related to caring for seniors or "fospice" dogs in ASR's care.
Heartworm Prevention For Dogs
Heartworm prevention for dogs is a significant concern for every pet owner. Prevention is an integral part of providing essential care, and heartworm disease prevention for dogs is something every owner can do. Consider this:
- Dogs have been diagnosed with heartworm disease in every state in the US.
- Mosquitoes spread heartworms, so any area of the country with mosquitoes—even just a few—can also have heartworm disease.
- Dogs don’t just need prevention during warm-weather months. Heartworm preventives work by treating heartworms that already infected the pet within the past month or longer; meanwhile, preventives need to be given on time, every time, to be effective. That’s why the American Heartworm Society recommends year-round heartworm prevention for pets.
- The American Heartworm Society estimates that more than a million dogs in the U.S. have heartworm disease—and heartworm disease can be fatal.
- Cats and ferrets can also get heartworm disease.
- Heartworm preventives are safe, relatively inexpensive, and easy to give. Still, if a dog becomes infected, heartworm treatment can be costly and complicated, requiring multiple veterinary visits and months of exercise restriction.
- While there are drug-free strategies owners can implement to reduce a pet’s exposure to mosquitoes, there’s no such thing as a “natural” heartworm preventive.
- Heartworm preventives come in different forms, including monthly chewable pills, topical “spot-on” medications, and injectable medication given every 6 months. Heartworm preventives are available only by prescription from veterinarians.
Some preventives only prevent heartworms, some protect pets from heartworms and intestinal parasites, and some protect pets from many different parasites, including heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas, ticks, and mites. Because veterinarians know which parasites are common in the area in which they practice, owners should talk to their pet’s doctor about what product or products will be best for their pets.

Many instances of owner surrender are due to financial hardship. There are many organizations that can help with owner retention. Most pet owners aren’t aware that they have options! ASR hopes this information borrowed from "The Pet Rescue Squad Inc." might be helpful to pet owners
