Currently Living at: South Carolina Shelter. Ms. Peaches needs a forever home!
Special adoption considerations: Ms. Peaches is a truly Lucky Dog. She 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!
Ms. Peaches is Looking For: A forever family! Ms. Peaches would love to go on walks, play with doggie friends, and learn some basic skills like “sit” and “wait.” This smushy girl is ready to become someone’s forever, do you think it could be you?
What My Foster Says About Me: We will update once Ms. Peaches arrives in the DC area!
