Carl is a fun, young (2 years old?), little guy. (He weighs 20#) We didn't DNA him, but he makes us wonder if he is part Whippet because of his long legs and how much he loves doing zoomies! He also has many Jack Russell traits. He is quite a character. He loves to run and play, but if you want to have cuddle time, he is happy with that too. He'll even let you hold him on his back like a baby. He needs to go to an active family as well as one that is willing to set ground rules for his antics.
Carl has been diagnosed with heartworm infection. Dogs acquire heartworm infections when they are bitten by a mosquito that was infected with heartworm larvae. He was given a Proheart 12 shot in April to start the "slow kill" method for destroying these worms. He will not need more heartworm prevention until October at which time we will test him to see if he is negative.
Dogs with heartworm infection live happy, high-quality lives as long as they are given appropriate care. Heartworm infection is relatively common in the United States so we are in need of caring adopters like you that are willing to open their home to a dog with heartworm infection. We think that our heartworm dogs have just as much to offer their new adopters as any other dog and they deserve a chance at life. Adopters will receive all the necessary medications needed to complete the heartworm treatment protocol.
Carl also did test positive for anaplasmosis which is a bacteria infection caused by a tick bite and he has begun a 30-day course of doxycycline.
Please understand you are committing to providing a good home for his entire life (up to 15+ years or more.)
You must be committed to housebreaking, age-appropriate enrichment and exercise, leash training, grooming needs, and positive socialization.
His adoption fee is $150. This includes his neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPP vaccination, Nobivac® Intra-Trac 3 vaccination, Drontal® Plus, IDEXX SNAP® 4Dx Plus Test, 24PetWatch® microchip, and leash and collar.
Please be aware that puppies and small breed dogs do get adopted quickly so interested parties are encouraged to apply online at www.saspca.org.
