Silly Sammy Slick (Vienna, VA)

These poor pups were dumped in the shelter with little hope of making it out. OPH has super fosters who came to the rescue to help save this family. They have a skin condition that is easily cleared up with time, medicine and love.

Adorable, sweet and just in need of some TLC, these pups will be ready for adoption soon. They are about 14 weeks old and Sammy is currently 28 pounds. So far, she's a super love able girl whose getting used to TLC. She absolutely love to be loved on and to smother you in kisses. Sammy is very smart and very food motivated so she will be easy to train.

Demodex mange is not contagious. We have dogs all the time in the rescue that are being treated for it and none of them has ever been contagious. Our vets have all told us the same thing, sarcoptic mange is the one that is contagious.

Here is an article from VCA Animal Hospital. We don't do the skin scrapings most of the time but the article has good information in it. http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/mange-demodectic-in-dogs/741
