DESCRIPTION
Meet Shep!
Two year old Shep is one of the happiest boys you will ever meet - always with a smile on his face! He's great with other dogs but he would do just fine as an only dog with a social family that will let him hang out with dog friends for play dates. Shep loves to impress every new person he meets with his treat catching skills too - he's a dog you can probably train to do all sorts of tricks.
As is extremely common with dogs rescued from rural areas in the Southeast, Shep has tested positive for heartworms. RMG utilizes a slow kill treatment protocol that has shown to be much safer and less toxic. All treatment medications are provided and once treatment is complete, dogs typically have no lasting health concerns
