About Yoshi

Yoshi is a large male mixed breed dog who came to us heartworm positive but is currently undergoing treatment. He has received the injectable form of medication and will be on a monthly prevention program for life. While heartworms can reduce lifespans, with successful treatment and proper care, Yoshi is expected to enjoy a long and happy life. For the next 30 days post-treatment, he will require strict cage rest. This means short 3-5 minute walks on a leash for bathroom breaks, with no running or jumping allowed. Yoshiโ€™s treatment ends on November 3; he will go home with six months of Tri-Heart at no charge, which needs to be administered monthly. A retest will be scheduled around February 8, 2027, to ensure the treatment's success. This is a great opportunity for someone to take Yoshi into their heart and home. Make his next chapter his best one yet.
