PET PROJECT: Meet Oakie

Sponsored by McInnis Insurance Agency

Oakie is a five-year-old, 40-pound neutered male Plott hound at LaMa Animal Rescue.

Oakie is heartworm negative, up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines & on flea/tick prevention. He has a birth defect on his hind leg. Our vet suggested NOT amputating because it is causing no pain. He gets around well, so we chose not to amputate.

A kind man took him in as a stray. He fell in love with Oakie’s personality but knew he could not afford heartworm treatment and specialty vetting or give him the time he deserves, so he made his way to us. He has been treated for heartworms and is now negative!

Oakie is the perfect age — still has some spunk but LOVES to chill. He would love a chance at a home of his own where he can find a sunny spot on the couch and have a yard to sniff in.

We do not “kid-test” but I think Oakie would do great with kids.
