Mason!

Mason has those pleading eyes that make you want to do anything to help him. He is a young purebred Redbone Coonhound who is heartworm positive. The APL will treat his heartworm if he has a place to go, but so far no one wants him :(

He is very very shy, but warms up to people and places once he is familiar with them. He plays with his dog friend in their kennel, but as soon as a stranger approaches they stop (his dog friend is also very shy). He learns quickly what is a "safe" space....during SAFER testing he was out of his element, but his posture adjusted and he pranced along once he was in the familiar environment of the kennels. Mason will likely thrive when he is in a stable environment, and a submissive little boy like him should be no trouble at all. He did great on his SAFER test....when the tester did the gaze test she remarked that he had the softest gaze she'd ever seen.

Mason is a young adult dog in the 40lb range. He needs a rescue or adoptive home, or a sponsor for his heartworm treatment. Treatment for a dog his size should be under $100....I will try to find out for sure how much it will be. And of course no one person has to pay the full amount....sponsorships of any amount are *always* welcome!
