The dog has responded well to this treatment and is ready for adoption, though may still have some bald patches and/or thin fur in places. Please note that demodex can flare up in any dog in times of stress (eg, transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months after adoption for adults or until 18 months of age for puppies. Please see here for more information on demodectic mange and talk with your Adoption Counselor about this condition. Medical Note: Slight under bite. At the time of adoption, no gum or soft palate trauma, nor discomfort with or effect on eating/chewing is noticed; no treatment is recommended at this time. As the dog is a growing/developing puppy, this could change and change quickly. Adopter should do regular checks of the mouth weekly to see if there is any trauma occurring. Comfort and ability to eat are going to be the main observation points, but the adopter should also look closely for damage to the gums/palate. If any concerns, exam by an oral specialist is recommended as they are best equipped to recommend the care and timeline that would benefit the individual the most. If intervention is required, growth and facial development should be relatively complete. Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.

We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.
