Special dog in Sarasota

Met is a 2 year old male Retriever mix who weighs 60 pounds.

Met was a stray dog that was turned into our friends at Sarasota County Animal Services. He was very sweet and loving. They knew he was a very adoptable dog except for one problem. Met tested positive for heartworms.

SCAS asked if we could help this young fellow out and give him a chance. Met was transferred to our shelter and in June, 2008 he was treated for heartworms. He would not be able to run and play like the other dogs. He had to be walked daily instead of getting yard time. Our staff and volunteers made the commitment to help this great dog have a second chance at life. Everyone eagerly awaited the re-test in August.

Unfortunately, Met was still heartworm positive and had to be re-treated. This setback has not discouraged the staff and volunteers or Met at all. He would definitely prefer to get to run and play but for right now he is content to be walked on his leash each day – several times a day. He still is the very sweet and very loving boy that he when Animal Services found him running loose.

If you could provide a stable and loving home for met, along with his heartworm treatment monthly, please call 955-4131 and ask about him. You can also check him and all his friends out here.
