Lawrence: The Heartworm Hero With BunnySoft Fur and a Heart Full of Sunshine
Location: Circleville, OH
Lawrence's story began in uncertainty — a young English Setter found as a stray, navigating the world alone far earlier than any pup should. But everything changed the day he got his freedom ride out of the shelter. Rescue stepped in, lifted him out of the unknown, and guided him through heartworm treatment with love, patience, and four months of crate rest. Today, Lawrence is a 11⁄2yearold heartworm survivor, bursting with joy, confidence, and the kind of gratitude only a oncelost pup can carry.
Activity Level: Freedom Looks GOOD on Him
With heartworm treatment behind him, Lawrence is living like a dog who just discovered the meaning of happiness. His energy level? THROUGH. THE. ROOF. Zoomies on top of zoomies, with a huge smile plastered across his face. Outside, he runs like he's making up for lost time — because he is.
Inside, he's a snuggly, affectionate sweetheart who loves curling up with his humans and soaking in all the love he missed early in life.

Lawrence is a happy, charming, peopleloving boy.
Great with kids
Great with adults
A total charmer at the vet's office

Fence Requirement

“Come”
“No”
He learns quickly and will blossom with gentle guidance and consistency.
Crate Training
Yes! Lawrence is very good in his crate. It helped him through treatment, and now it's a familiar, comforting space.
