Victor was left at a veterinary hospital in Wisconsin by his owner with Boomer who is also Heartworm Disease Positive.

Victor is a neutered 5 year old sable boy - very sweet!.  He was neutered and has all his shots. He has had no accidents inside the house.  He gets along with his foster sisters and brother. Victor is curious about the cats, but leaves them alone. He loves to go for walks.  With more practice he will stop weaving and stopping at every single tree.  He had a lot of fun at the dog park yesterday.  He behaved himself.  He is very polite and acts younger then his 5 years of age.  He seems to have lots of energy and is always up and interested in what you are doing.  He tries to communicate by a growling sound that he does.  He likes to go outside in our fenced in yard and race cars that drive by.  So we will try to work on that.


He doesn't like slippery floors, so there are now lots of rugs down so he can walk fast rug to rug.  He only weighs 55 lbs and so he needs to put on at least 20 lbs. so he is on a eat what you want diet. He doesn't chew on anything, nor does he seem interested in raw hides.  He is pretty quiet and doesn't bark tomuch compared to are others.  He is we found out, heart worm positive. We have been going back and forth to the vets for various tests for his health and will soon be starting on medication for the heartworm treatment.   He has been treated for his hookworm and is on antibiotics for the Lyme Disease.  He is very good in the car no matter were we go. He just need to work on sitting down in the car.  He is a very good boy and needs to gain his strength to fight off all of the parasites!

Victor is being fostered in Minneapolis, MN.
