STEFANA NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Stefana Best Guess for Breed: Wirehaired Pointer/Terrier
Best Guess for Age: 2.5 yrs as of April 2025 Gender: female
Approximate Weight: 45 lbs
Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!
Currently Living At: Our South Carolina rescue campus
Special Adoption Considerations: Stefana is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.
We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Stefana is Looking For: Her forever home! She landed in the shelter through no fault of her own and is oh so eager to once again have her own humans for sniffy walks and all the adventures they can dream up. She has all that awesome young-dog energy and is eager to see and experience the world! To explore all the toys! To go to dog school to learn to be the bestest girl! And to make new pup and people pals along the way!
What she wants most of all, though, is to love and be loved, to know where she belongs, to know she's under her own roof every time the sun goes down. In exchange she promises adoring gazes and happy tail wags and snuggles and loyal companionship. What do you say? Is Stefana the companion you have been seeking?
What My Foster Says About Me: Stefana needs a foster!
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
