New bio for whiskeys Petfinder. Added some photos to show her size. She's not easy to photograph but is much smaller in person than I think she shows in photos.

Hey there! My name is Whiskey and I've been in a foster home since November 2023. When I first came to ODHS I did not trust anyone and was a pretty scared girl. My foster parents are amazed by how far I've come! I still find fast movements and loud noises a bit scary but have started to realize not all people are bad. I may take some time to open up once you take me home, read up on the 3-3-3 rule if you're considering adopting me. Since being in foster I have found my bark and my sassy side. If you're taking too long to get my dinner ready or take me outside I will let you know!

I have started to love going for walks but will probably never love the car.
While in my foster home I've spent time with dogs and cats! The cats don't seem to interest me very much, and I tolerate my rambunctious foster siblings.

If you are interested in meeting me, please read up on the 3-3-3 rule and fill out an application. My foster family tells me I'm pretty perfect and that they know I'm going to find the best home!

Medical Notes:

I received heart worm treatment on 1/31/24 and 2/1/24. For more information visit https://www.heartwormsociety.org/ it will be necessary for me to have 30 days low activity.

I am Ehrlichia and Lyme positive. Treatment is typically 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this disease, a dog may always test positive even if treated. I did a course of antibiotics for this in January 2024. Its always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.
