DESCRIPTION
Meet Socks, a handsome 7-year-old black and white gentleman. He came to us after his beloved owner entered a nursing home, and he's ready to find comfort and stability once again. Socks can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, he simply wants to be near his person, soaking up quiet companionship. He has been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle. He is not currently on medication, but his adopter will need to monitor his resting respiratory rate at home. Normal is under 30 breaths per minute; consistent readings over 30-35 or an upward trend should prompt veterinary care. Apps like Cardalis can help track this. With routine six-month rechecks, Socks can continue to thrive.
