Hearts of the North Dog Adoptions on Hold

Hearts of the North is putting the brakes on adoption after reports of attacks. The organization brings American death row dogs to the Maritimes, but on Facebook it says it’ll stop in the meantime. The post also points out there have been two incidents out of almost 1000 dogs, and that’s considered successful. However, Vets in the province are also raising concerns that adopted dogs are bringing new cases of heartworm into the province.
