Current Location: Alexandria, VA Hello! My name is Emma! I'm coming to OPH on 4/10. Please check back soon for updates on my personality, and to see adorable new photos. I'm making my way north in search of my new family. Is that with you? If so apply today because this cuteness won't be around for long! This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH's heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.
