Meet Tarzan!
He's a pup on the smaller side just under 40 lbs. He's 2 years old and came to us as a stray from Gulfport Animal Control with a limp. After x-rays we decided he needed a surgery to help with his hip and since recovering he's a master of the zoomies and is having the time of his life running around the yard now. He's happy and friendly - we believe he is housebroken, and he is waiting for his life after the shelter. He likes other dogs and takes correction well if he gets a little too rowdy. He has tested positive for heartworms but with the proper treatment he can live out the rest of his long life happy and healthy. This little guy has had a rough start on life, but he is so deserving of a loving forever home.
