Oreo Mixed Breed Madison, WI

Meet Oreo! Oreo (2 to 3-years-old/45-pounds) found herself in a rural Alabama shelter, where she was rescued by a kind foster family. She is friendly with and likes being around people, including children. She loves playing with other dogs! Oreo is a very smart girl and she has already learned how to use the doggy door. She is doing so good, very social, and is a very happy dog! Oreo loves being with her people and will push other dogs out of the way for loving! She’s very gentle with treats and food. Her entire bottom swings when she shows she is happy, with wagging her tail!

Update 4/29/19, Oreo unfortunately tested positive for heartworm disease. She got this by being bitten by an infected mosquito. She is not contagious to other dogs (but all dogs should be on heartworm prevention monthly, year-round to prevent infection/reinfection). Underdog has started Oreo on treatment for heartworm, and with proper after-care, she will fully recover. Her adopter will simply need to bring Oreo to scheduled treatment appointments and keep her CALM (with strict crate rest or supervised relaxation) post treatment injections (for 2-3 months). We provide adopters with instructions and will cover needed meds. Dogs who are treated for heartworm have a positive likelihood of recovery when post-treatment instructions and rest are followed.
