🐾 Looking for a Calm Home Full of Love 🐾 DOB of Pet: 04/30/2024 This sweet pup is ready to leave their past behind and start the next chapter of life with a loving family. Like many rescue dogs, this dog is currently receiving treatment to become heartworm-free. The good news is that heartworm disease is treatable, and dogs who complete treatment typically go on to live long, happy, healthy lives. Heartworms are spread ONLY through mosquito bites — not from dog-to-dog contact. Your current pets cannot catch heartworms from this dog through normal interaction, shared water bowls, cuddles, or playtime. Right now, this pup is looking for a calm and loving home where they can focus on healing. During treatment, they will need a quieter lifestyle with lots of naps, cuddles, and relaxation while their body recovers. Activity restriction during this time is temporary but very important to help ensure a successful recovery. We know opening your home to a dog during treatment can sound intimidating, but many families tell us it becomes an incredibly rewarding experience watching these dogs grow stronger, healthier, and more confident each day. 🐶 Foster-to-Adopt Option Available! If you live within 60 miles of Kansas City, you may qualify for our foster-to-adopt program while this dog completes heartworm treatment. Our rescue continues to provide medical support during treatment while you begin bonding with your future family member. What this dog needs most is not perfection — just someone willing to offer patience, love, and a safe place to heal. ❤️ Adoption fee includes: • Age-appropriate vaccinations • Spay/Neuter • Microchip • Heartworm/flea/tick prevention • Deworming treatments Our animals are kept at our shelter and in foster homes. By visiting our shelter, you can see available animals there, and we can identify if the animal of interest is currently in foster care. Thank you for your interest in adopting from !
