Oreo

Please contact Anna Colllins ([email protected]) for more information about this pet.handsome, athletic SBWM ISO family! OREO NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Oreo Best Guess for Breed: Australian cattle dog (blue heeler) mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of October 2024 Gender: Male Approximate Weight: 32 lbs Gets Along With:Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested if you have them. Currently Living At: Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to come up after completing heartworm treatment. Special Adoption Considerations: Oreo is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Oreo is Looking For: Look at this handsome guy. Sure, he's about five - well out of the puppy yips - but look at his body and coat. That is a working breed, bred to run all day. Once Oreo has recovered completely from heartworm treatment, oh, he will need plenty of physical and mental enrichment! Walks and time in the yard alone - nope, that's not gonna work for him. He's looking for an active home where he gets to move - and think - plenty. He will be an awesome companion for someone looking for just this type of pup. Meet him and see if he's a match for you! What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with his foster 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 $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
