My story

Meet Slater!

*I am heartworm positive. I will need to be treated with 28 days of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic) before I receive my heartworm injections. You can still adopt me, but the cost of the treatment will become your responsibility, ODHS always recommends you contact a vet to price this treatment if you are interested in adopting me beforehand. https://www.heartwormsociety.org/

If I am adopted prior to heartworm treatment injections, ODHS will send me with 12 months of Advantage Multi for slow-kill treatment. Your vet may opt to proceed with heartworm injections, however, so please ensure to discuss with your vet.
