About Sam
Sweet Sam needs a foster carer, is anyone able to help?
Meet Sam, he is a little 18mth old JR mix, tri coloured male who has come to us from a Western Sydney Pound.
Unfortunately for sweet Sam, he has heartworm and we are now looking for a carer to help him through his treatment which is most likely to take around 12mths.
To be a carer, you would need to live locally to be able to make his vet appointments or be able to bring him to us at Londonderry for us to take him.
There is a possibility that he may take a reaction to his treatment and so being able to get him to our vet is a necessity.
There is also a stage during his treatment, where he will need complete cage rest, so will need a carer who is home most of the time for toilet breaks.
His treatment plan/costs will be fully covered by us, as well as our support during his treatment. It consists of daily medication, injections at intervals by the vet and possible vet stays. There is to be limited exercise and at times complete cage rest.
It is probably best his carers don't have other dogs but he may get along with another female. However your own dog will need to have been on a successful, regular and current heartworm preventative. Heatworm is spread by mosquito bites only.
The kennel environment is not really suitable to his treatment plan.
We have had good success with treatments for heartworm in the past and are hopeful to be able to help Sam also.
