Hello! My name is Hoss! I'm a fun-loving kind of dog looking for someone who loves to play and can also be a couch potato. I would do great in a plenty of family dynamics, come meet me today so I can show you what I am all about!
Hoss has heartworm which means that this dog has parasitic worms in the right ventricle of the heart and nearby blood vessels. Heartworm is transmitted from one dog to another by mosquitoes and can be easily prevented using monthly heartworm preventative, but once the disease is contracted the treatment process can be quite intensive. Hoss will need to remain sedentary with minimal activity during the treatment process to ensure a healthy recovery. There is additional information on heartworm disease and treatment available at our Adoption Desk.
