Meet this lovable giant, who has a heart as big as his size! 🌟 This delightful dog found his way to the shelter as a stray, and while he might have started off a bit stinky (who hasn’t had a rough day?), he’s turned into quite the charmer after a good bath! 🛁 Now, this gentle giant has a personality that's waiting to shine! He’s friendly and enjoys the thrill of playing and exploring the world around him. 🌳 Just picture this lovable pooch, all playful and wagging his tail with joy as he discovers new places! However, it's important to note that he’s a bit shy when it comes to cars and stairs—don’t worry, though; he’s easy to carry when he needs to be! 🚗❤️ He has been known to get along well with another dog he was found with, but he’s going to need some slow, monitored introductions to any new furry friends in a forever home. As for those cheeky cats? Well, that’s still a mystery! 🐱 Now, let’s talk about health: like many dogs in North Carolina, he is currently heartworm positive. But fear not! The loving folks at OCAS will be there to cover the costs of his treatment. Heartworm may sound scary, but with the right care, he can recover beautifully—just like a phoenix rising from the ashes! 🔥🥳 Remember, heartworms are transmitted by friendly mosquitoes, so let’s keep those pesky bugs at bay!
