Andy - Terrier Dog for Adoption in Pierceton, Indiana

Howdy! My name is Andy, and I am 1 years old. I am a goofy boy that loves to jump, explore my surroundings and confidently show off my good looks! I am a sweet boy that may be a little shy meeting you at first, but once I warm up (easy with treats), I like to stick around for some lovings!

I am here at the shelter because I was seized from my home with ten other dogs. While my past may not be the best, I am looking forward to a better future and I have lots of years left to start over! Due to my past housing situation, I do better with female dogs than I do with other males. And while staff cannot guarantee I am housetrained, I do a pretty good job of going potty outside!

Unfortunately, I am heartworm positive. This means that I was without heartworm prevention (please use flea/tick/heartworm prevention for your dogs!!!) and I contracted heartworm from a mosquito. This disease causes parasitic worms to live in my heart, lungs and blood vessels, and it can become fatal. DON'T WORRY! The shelter is starting the process of treating my heartworm, but it is a lengthy treatment process. I am able to be adopted, but my adoption will not be finalized until my treatment is done with, and I test negative for heartworms - think of it as a foster to adopt! The shelter wants to make sure I am happy and healthy before finalizing my adoption! During this time, this will require my adopter to keep me on exercise restrictions as lots of activity will cause the worms to do more damage. I will also be on daily pill that my adopters will need to feed me every day for 90 days. Then, I will need to be brought back and forth for my actual treatments starting in June! My heartworm treatment and any medication I need will be provided by the shelter! That is not any additional cost to my family.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at info@awlwarsaw.com if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!
