Special adoption considerations: Scotch is a truly Lucky Dog. Although he has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! 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 talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process.

What My Foster Says About Me: 'Scotch is a handsome cuddle bug with the most adorable wiggle when he's excited. He is very well-behaved and will do super well with any kind of training. He's also incredibly friendly and loves to give hugs to everyone he meets. He's great with other dogs and children, and loves to play tug of war with rope toys. He does great on leash with very little pulling and likes to take his time sniffing on walks. Scotch also does well in his crate at night and is good at communicating when he needs to go out.'
