LANCE Needs a Foster-to-Adopt Home.
He is a social butterfly who loves people & other dogs. He flits between new people because he adores everyone. He leans against you & tries to fit on your lap.
However, LANCE has heartworm & is in the middle of his treatment. This purebred Redbone Coonhound was diagnosed with heartworm in July when he was still at a crowded Kentucky shelter. We literally became his last hope, because poor, rural areas cannot afford to hold onto heartworm positive dogs & pay for the treatment. He is only 3 years old but tests showed his heart was enlarged.
LANCE has been staying at our vet since July for his heartworm pre-treatment & first immiticide injection. And to be built up because he was emaciated when he first came to NY. He had a fan club at the animal hospital.
He is scheduled for the second part of his heartworm treatment in mid October .
LANCE is ready for a Foster-to-Adopt Home, At the present time the social butterfly is supposed to stay low key.
There is a danger of a pulmonary embolism when adult heartworm are disintegrating, so exercise is restricted for several weeks after injections.
Last Hope covers all LANCE’s veterinary expenses until he tests heartworm-free & can be neutered.
Redbones are an affectionate breed. If you love Hounds, and love mushy dogs, LANCE is your boy.
