Meet Shiva
Shiva was found in the bushes by our wonderful rescuer with her sister Aya and brothers Odin and Kofi, who are also looking for homes.
They all look very similar but Shiva has a white chest and is the smallest of the siblings.
When they were first found they were all quite timid and unused to human contact. Shiva is still quite shy and doesn't tend to run around much and prefers to lay down watching all the fun. She is not getting on with the hustle and bustle of a pension, and would love a quiet forever home where she can chill out.
Shiva has been fully vaccinated and will be spayed before travel.
Shiva tested positive for heart worm on routine testing and is currently under treatment. Shiva will be able to travel to the UK after two negative heartworm control tests have been achieved and a scan to check no lasting damage.
Heartworm is fairly common in Serbia and many dogs recover in full if caught early enough and dogs can lead full and normal lives. Heartworm is not generally well known in the UK but there are plenty of articles online and a useful video within the video library on our website here https://www.balkanunderdogs.org.uk/video-library.
All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).
