Elvis
3 years old / 60lbs

Elvis is a very easy-going boy. He loves laying in the sun and relaxing outside. He's fine with other dogs. He loves to snuggle up for some pets too. This guy has been at the shelter since May and would love a chance at a loving home. If you can help Elvis out, please reach out today!

Sadly, this dog is heartworm positive. Heartworm is a preventable disease that can become deadly if left untreated. Heartworm is not contagious to the dogs in your home. Thankfully there is treatment for heartworm disease! Rescued Rascals is prepared to provide the treatment to this dog, but they need to be in a foster home first. Fostering a heartworm positive dog is a 2–3-month commitment. The first month of treatment consists of daily antibiotic pills for the dog. The second part of treatment is two injections of medication followed by one month of limited activity. After that the dog can resume regular activity and is ready for adoption! While you foster, the rescue provides you with all the supplies you need for the dog, as well as support for any questions you have.

Fostering a heartworm positive dog is a rewarding experience – you don’t need any special qualifications – only the desire to help save a life.


We will provide all supplies and support while fostering. You provide a safe home and lots of love.
