BEAR is a 3-year-old Mixed in Mableton, GA, who needs $1,975 for Heartworms treatment.

Bear is my perfect rescue baby. He was one of the dogs that had been in the shelter the longest. It was love at first sight and I can not imagine my life without bear. When he first joined our family he was so scared and shy. He is now 3 years old and spoiled rotten. When we took bear for his yearly check up we were informed he has tested stage 2 heartworm positive. Please help me save my baby.

Bear has added so much joy and life back to my family. We love to go on walks, play in the backyard, goes on vacation with us. When I get home from work to see his beautiful face makes all my stress melt away. If he sees a bag in my hands he gets so excited knowing he has a treat or new toy. When we are in the backyard he loves to watch the birds or sit in the swing with me. He is perfect!

We are a family that lives pay check to pay check. I don't know how to provide the money for bears treatments. This is a very unexpected expense, but I have to save my baby. I have already maxed out my credit card on his xrays and bloodwork.

When we took Bear for his yearly check-up, they discovered he is stage 2 heartworm positive. He has never been sick before so my shock to learn this. We had the xrays and bloodwork completed, but there is a long process to save my baby. His next step is to stay over night at the vets and start his treatment. I have attached a picture that explains the treatment and vets information.

The funny things my baby does, where do I start? He likes to play super puppy. I will ask bear where is super puppy, he will lay on his back with his front legs stretch out as if he is flying. Then he looks at me and smiles. He loves to be tickled under his front legs and laughs. He knows how to shake, high five and sit He had come a long way from being a shy baby in a shelter
