Hello! Like many dogs in NC, I am currently heartworm positive, but don't worry - OCAS will cover the cost of my treatment! In North Carolina, it's unfortunately common to see many dogs that are infected with heartworms (they are transmitted by mosquito bites). Heartworm disease may cause severe lung disease, heart failure, or other organ damage in dogs. It's usually fatal if left untreated. Heartworm treatment is costly. With your support, OCAS can help more dogs with this disease - resulting in healthier dogs that are even more likely to get adopted. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign.Bently has a lot of energy and he did not do well with children and cats in a previous home.Insights from adventure buddies and foster friends:Bentley overall is a very sweet boy. He has a lot of energy and will mouth and jump alot when first greeting or wanting to play, but once he settles he gives lots of kisses and likes to sit in your lap. He loved hiking with us today and enjoys long walks. He also enjoyed walking downtown and having a pup cup! He is very loving and needs someone who wants to take him places and get lots of exercise! He is very cute! We think he looks like a mini Scooby Doo! Love that he likes to hike and explore. Will give lots of kisses once he gets settled with you.
