My name is Cairo!

Cairo is a fluffy, adorable 5-year-old Corgi/Chihuahua mix with short legs, a soft coat, and the kind of face that makes you want to scoop him right up. This little guy has been incredibly brave while dealing with severe heartworm disease that has led to right-sided heart failure—but despite his diagnosis, Cairo is currently stable, comfortable, and doing well on his medications.

Cairo does still have some residual fluid in his abdomen, but his medical team is pleased with how he’s responding to treatment. What he needs most right now is a calm, quiet foster home where he can rest, relax, and continue his medications until he’s ready to begin his heartworm injections next month.

Because of his condition, Cairo is not looking for an active lifestyle. Instead, he’d be perfect for someone who enjoys peaceful companionship—short potty breaks, cozy naps, gentle affection, and lots of love. His fluffy appearance and sweet demeanor make him an easy houseguest, and he’s happiest when he feels safe and settled.

Cairo’s medical care will be guided and supported by our clinic, and he just needs a foster who can offer patience, consistency, and a low-stress environment while he continues his healing journey.
