About La Bamba

Adoption Fee: $335
Plott mix
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

La Bamba is a low to medium energy plott hound mix estimated to be about 40lbs and 1-2 years old. Sweet, but also a little shy and nervous - La Bamba would do best in a home with other animals who would help him learn how to be a dog. He is most confident and happy around other dogs and has been okay around people, and cats but is a little weary and seeks out his crate where he seems to feel most safe. His favorite thing to do seems to be to relax and curl up on his dog bed next to his humans in his foster home. La bamba does need some gentle coaxing to go outside for the bathroom, but once he's out there he does his thing. So far he has not been prone to chasing any outdoor critters, and just sniffs around. La Bamba does not pull when being walked on a leash but does get frightened by sudden loud noises. All this little guy needs is a forever home with a family who will take the time and has the patience to make him feel safe; so he can become the confident and happy dog he is meant to be. If that could be you, apply today! This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH's heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable. Learn more and apply to adopt at https://ophrescue.org/dogs/8660
