Special adoption considerations: GP is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
GP is Looking For:
GP is has a gorgeous long dark coat and a gentle expression that instantly draws you in. This sweet boy recently found himself in need of a new home after his previous owner became too sick to care for him anymore. While the transition has been a big change, GP is ready for a fresh start with a family to call his own. He’s hoping to find a home where he can settle in, enjoy life at a comfortable pace, and share plenty of love and loyalty with his new people.
After losing the only home he knew, GP deserves a second chance with a family who will cherish him through all of life’s adventures — big and small. Could you be the one to give this beautiful boy the happy new chapter he’s been waiting for?
