Story
Please contact Kathleen Wilson (kathleenw@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet. SHORTY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Shorty Best Guess for Breed: Doxie / Basset mix Best Guess for Age: 4 yrs. as of 3/2020 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 35 lbs as of3/2020 Gets Along With: other dogs; we haven't tested Shorty with cats yet, but if you have them we can coordinate a test Currently Living at: DC area foster home. Special adoption considerations: Shorty cannot go to a home with kids under 15. SHORTY was diagnosed as heartworm positive and received treatment on March 17. Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. Shorty is Looking For: Shorty is looking for a fun new family that will offer him lots of walks to sniff all the sniffs, and lots of opportunities to go run around with his doggy friends at the dog park. He's heard, from his doggie friends, that there's something called toys that you can run around with and squeak?!? Shorty is also ready to be his best pupper self and go to training to hone his Short-Dog skills. What My Foster Says About Me: Stay Tuned Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
