Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Low-Ride Boy ISO Forever Family HEMLOCK NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Hemlock and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Dec. 3) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)! Name: Hemlock Best Guess for Breed: Dachshund mix Best Guess for Age: 6-7 years as of Oct 2023 SEX: male Approximate Weight: 18 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but he can be tested. Currently Living at: DC area foster home. Special adoption considerations: Hemlock is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworm but completed treatment on November 13! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. When Hemlock arrived in the shelter, he was very scared and shut down. However, he has been making great strides. We think Hemlock would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to continue to build confidence. Hemlock is Looking For: Hemlock is very eager to have his own forever home, where he gets his own humans for sniffy walks and romps in the park and gets to meet new pup and people pals along the way! Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved and under his own roof. In exchange, he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he has spent some time with his foster! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
