About Foster Me - Miles

Miles - Male Hound mix, about 35-40lbs., HW Positive This boy needs a special foster. He is nervous but as sweet as can be. They fed him with a metal bowl at the shelter and that scared him...he wouldn't go near it! They decided to feed him in a ceramic bowl...problem solved! He is learning trust and has come a long way. He is apprehensive at first, but quickly warms up and lets you give him pets. He has absolutely no signs of aggression but needs to learn that he is SAFE. He needs a patient and loving family to show him the good life. Miles will need a 30-day course of antibiotics followed by 2 injections (24 hours apart) to treat Heartworm. Once he has these injections, he will need to stay calm with minimal exercise for the following 30 days. Heartworm treatment is crucial for his long term survival. While you foster, Safe Haven Dog Rescue provides a crate, food, leash, collar, and all medical care at our participating vet offices in Naperville, Wheaton, and Elmhurst. Heartworm treatment is done at Fox Valley Animal Welfare League in North Aurora. We also have a very supportive foster network to answer your questions, provide support, and guide you along the way. Please email [email protected] ASAP for more details or an application. If you are not in the position to foster, please SHARE - Everyone knows some that one that might help!
