Thatcher is Looking For: His forever home! This handsome stripey boy landed in the shelter through no fault of his own. Now he's looking for his own humans to trot alongside on those sniffy walks and adventures - he's in his prime young adult years and wants to burn all that awesome dog energy! Making new pup pals along and having plenty of opportunity to run and play is on his wish list along with quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. But above all he wants to know where he belongs, to be under his own roof, to be safe and loved. In exchange, he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him by your side?
What My Foster Says About Me: Thatcher is doing really well! He does great in his crate while I’m at work and at night. His absolute favorite part of the day is walking. He gets so excited to go outside and sits right down to put the leash on. He just wants all the attention! He's very interested in playing with every dog we meet on our walks and is super outgoing when meeting new people too. He loves his bone!
Heartworm information: Thatcher is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! 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. Thatcher has completed this activity restriction period.Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
