Adopter: T. Howard
Adoption Date: December 2021


Heartworm-positive Dancer was adopted into the Howard family. As with all HW+ dogs, FOTAS paid for his treatment so Dancer can live a healthy and happy long life in his forever home.
The Howard family told us, “Dancer turned into Dasher and then my daughter started Dash. He is great! Eats well, plays well with my daughter and cats. He has a basket full of toys that he drags out daily. He sleeps with my daughter and I. We are taking him camping this weekend for the first time in our camper so we hope he likes that.”
