Comment: 28-AUG-25 - Interact - 8/25/25 Per volunteer: He was easy to leash and walked to the yard with a mild pull. He chased toys for a few minutes and sniffed for treats in my pockets. After several minutes, he began exit seeking so we walked in the parking lot. He pulled towards some interesting smells but was otherwise easy to walk. He went back to the kennel easily but tried to squeeze out again just as I was closing the gate so I needed to block his way.
Comment: 15-AUG-25 - Interact - 08/15/25 11:38-Ronin greeted staff member with wagging tail and appeasement grin. Jumped up onto the kennel gate several times and nipped at leash when staff member attempted to remove him from the kennel. Was able to leash and remove from the kennel after several attempts. Seems to walk hard on leash and tends to veer at times towards the other neighboring dogs. Cruised around the play yard and played with some soft toys that were in the yard. At one point during the interaction. Ronin became overexcited and pulled the treat bag off the handler’s belt and began to chew on it. Was able to redirect his attention with treats and was able to remove the treat bag. No issue placing back into kennel. MS
Comment: 15-AUG-25 - Interact - 8/14/25 Per volunteer: Ronin was lying down in his inside kennel, I called him, he came to me and took a treat gently. He was jumpy with leashing, but was easily secured. Due to the heat, his URI, and age we went for a short walk. He walked past the neighboring dogs without reacting to them. He initially walked with a moderate pull, but then lessened and walked calmly when he began to sniff around and explore. Toward the end of our walk and as we were walking back through the kennels, he began to get mouthy and jumpy. He did grab a harness that was hanging on an outside kennel and began biting it. He was able to be redirected back to his kennel and was unleashed without issues.
Comment: 06-AUG-25 - Medical - HEARTWORM POSITIVE (TEMPLATE) What is the medical issue? This dog was diagnosed with Heartworm disease at the shelter. Heartworm disease is caused by large worms that live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, causing lung disease, heart failure, and other organ damage. What has PRC done so far? This dog has begun treatment for this disease. A 30 day course of doxycycline will be completed, followed by a 30 day 'rest' period. If this dog has not completed meds prior to adoption, you should receive a prescription to fill at a pharmacy to obtain remaining doses. Two months after diagnosis, if healthy enough for treatment as determined by PRC veterinarians, your dog can receive injections to kill adult heartworms at the PRC. This injection is a medication called "Diroban" which is injected into the large muscles of the back. Two injections are given 24 hours apart, per FDA guidelines. This protocol kills about 90% of heartworms and is recommended for stage 1 and 2 heartworm disease. Alternatively, adopters can elect to pursue heartworm treatment with their veterinarian. Your veterinarian may recommend additional diagnostics prior to treatment, or may recommend a slightly different protocol. What can the adopter expect? This dog should receive heartworm prevention monthly year-round for the rest of the its life to prevent another infection. Next month's dose of prevention will be dispensed; you must follow up with your vet for continued prevention. Your pet should be retested 6 months after treatment for heartworm disease, and then yearly thereafter. Your vet may recommend additional diagnostics or treatments. All further care is the responsibility of the adopter. Comments: Heartworm treatment is not benign. Some pets may have adverse reactions to heartworm treatment, including swelling at the injection site, pain, and respiratory issues. In rare cases the dying worms in the bloodstream might fall apart and cause a thrombus (blockage of a blood vessel). If this happens your pet might have respiratory distress and could die. Any activities that cause panting or elevated heart rate can increase the risk of a thrombus. It is critical that your pet is crate rested for 6 weeks following treatment and is only allowed to go outside for short periods of time on a leash to urinate/defecate. A medical staff member will go over any questions you may have at discharge.
