Albert D64599

My story

Hi! My name is Albert and I am from Arkansas. From his foster: Hi! I'm Albert! Thanks for stopping by to read a bit about me. If you are looking for a 40 pound lap dog - I could be your boy. Don't get me wrong, I love going on walks, playing with my foster dog sister, and destuffing toys but my absolute favorite activity is snuggling up or even on top of my foster mom. My foster mom says that I am a very good boy because I am house-trained, kennel trained - never a peep out of me after enticed in with a treat, and I know not to chew on stuff that isn't mine. I do have an old leg injury but that doesn't slow me down. I play, walk, and chase around with the best of them. I'd love to meet you so you could see for yourself what a good boy I am. From the Vet: I am currently being treated for heartworm disease. Heartworm is not contagious so your resident pets are not at risk! The treatment for this is 3-4 months long and requires a minimum of 3 appointments and strict rest/restricted activity. My adoption can take place during treatment, while TBB manages the financial responsibility of my heartworm treatment at The Bond Between Vet Center. Any other medical care needed outside of the specific care covered in the contract disclaimer, would be the responsibility of my new family. Albert came to us heartworm positive and upon completing his exam we notice that he walking abnormally. His legs show a fairly severe previous fracture resulting in a protrusion of his femur bone The injury occurred so long ago that surgical repair is not something our orthopedic specialist is recommending. We also discussed possible amputation, however he does use the leg when walking, but as you can see in his photos when he is stationary he will sometimes just hold it up. He will likely need some medical management for this life-long, but its nothing a young dog like him can't handle. We hope that he continues to thrive in his forever home!
