This big handsome boy was picked up near Poverty Point where he had been roaming for about 3 days. His new owners have reached out and will reclaim him today but not before we discovered that he had no microchip or any identification, is intact and heavy heartworm positive. It's not the new owners fault entirely. They had only had him for about a week. But just a good reminder that any dog will roam (especially one that's been allowed to roam in the past) and especially one that has just been moved to a strange place. Add to that, he's a hunting breed and still intact. (Did you know that a female dog in heat will release pheromones that a male dog can smell from 10 miles away and he WILL try to find her.) So this boy is VERY lucky that he has been recovered safely. That's a great reason for us to have a Happy Thanksgiving!
