Description:
Xeno is just the happiest dog. Romping with his canine pals is one of his favorite pastimes, second only to snuggling with humans. :-) It is always so hard to understand how such a sweet dog could not have a person come looking for him when he ended up as a stray at a shelter .....but we knew we had to help him when we found out he only had hours till he would be euthanized for space. Although Xeno originally tested negative for heartworms at the shelter, during routine vetting done when he arrived, he tested positive for Heartworms . We have started him on the initial meds but will need to start the actual treatment soon. ASR follows the guideline of the American Heartworm Society with 3 injections, Day 1 initial injection, 30 days of restricted activity , Day 31 Injection #2, Day 32 Injection #3 and an additional 30 days of restricted activity ( leash walks, crate rest, no ball playing or running ). https://www.heartwormsociety.org/images/pdf/HeartwormTreatmentGuide_PetOwnerColor.pdf If Treating heartworm is not inexpensive but we are committed to helping this sweet boy conquer this disease and have a happy and long life with some lucky family ! ASR will pay for all Heartworm treatments with an adopter's vet and provide a Volunteer experienced in Heartworm Treatment to answer questions etc. If you are interested in learning more about Xeno and/or his heartworm treatment, please email [email protected] IF you are not yet approved to adopt from All Shepherd Rescue, please fill out our online application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our adoption fee is $350.00
