My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Santana, an incredible survivor! His journey hasn't been an easy one. He was found in a Walmart parking lot in critical condition, his life hanging by a thread. He was later diagnosed with babesia, a serious tick-borne illness, and thankfully received the treatment needed & made an incredible recovery.


In his foster home, Santana has flourished. This boy is a cuddle enthusiast, always ready to soak up affection. And while cuddles are his top priority, he's also a big fan of treats and never misses an opportunity for a snack. Santana is crate trained and has made impressive strides with his potty training.


For households with children, Santana has done well in a foster home with respectful kids over age 7, but supervision between animals and kids is always recommended to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.


Santana is currently heartworm positive, but heartworms are not contagious and are treatable! Thanks to the incredible support of Friends of Wake County Animal Center, he has a $400 sponsorship towards his treatment.

Santana is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, microchipped, and is neutered. If you have other dogs or cats at home, we recommend introducing them to Santana gradually over time.
