Blanco was pulled from Monroe Humane Society in December 2023. This guy is so sweet and doesn't deserve what life has handed him. Blanco is deaf, and also heartworm positive. Save Monroe Strays has lots of experience with both!
He is currently undergoing his heartworm treatment (first injection down, 2 to go). If you have ever wanted to do the most rewarding thing ever, please consider fostering Blanco through the rest of his treatment. While he is in a loving foster home now, there are several other dogs around which, of course, Blanco wants to play with. Part of the struggle with heartworm is that a dog needs to remain fairly calm and not elevate their heart rate. Do you have a quiet house for him to hang out in?
As far as Blanco being deaf.....we have had several deaf dogs in our care. We can help with training. Their ability to overcome this one deficit with their other senses being so keen is really something you have to see to believe. Please don't let his deafness dissuade you from meeting Blanco. He's such a good boy!

Additional adoption info
We do not use a first-come, first-serve process when adopting out our animals. Instead, we focus on best fit for each individual animal. The process is intended to ensure a long-term successful adoption for both the family and pet.
All of our adoptable animals have had a complete veterinarian checkup. Our cats and kittens are FeLV/FIV tested. Our dogs and puppies are heartworm tested. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, dewormed, and have received age appropriate vaccines before going to their forever homes.
Feline adoption fees - $125 for kittens under 8 months, $100 if over 8 months, and $60 if over 9 years old.
Canine adoption fees - $350 for puppies under 1 year, $300 if over 1 year, and $200 if over 7 years old.
