Hi, I'm Chico, and I'd like to file a formal complaint.

As a Mountain Cur mix, I have a LOT of energy. Running, exploring, sniffing, investigating suspicious squirrels—these are all very important parts of my job description. So imagine my surprise when I was informed that because I'm heartworm positive, I have to "take it easy" while I recover.

Take. It. Easy.

Apparently, zooming around like a maniac is now "not recommended." According to the humans, heartworm disease is treatable, but until then, I need to stay calm. I disagree with this decision, but unfortunately, nobody asked me.

The good news is that I'm available through a Pathway to Adoption or Foster-to-Adopt program while I complete treatment. I'm sweet, goofy, and always excited to see my people.

One other rule I've been told to mention: I MUST wear a harness. Allegedly, my enthusiasm sometimes exceeds my judgment. I have no comment on these accusations.

If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick who's temporarily grounded by his doctor, come meet me. I'll be the one dramatically staring out the window, dreaming of zoomies.

Dogs: Unknown — a meet & greet is recommended
