Beaux is a 2-year-old Pit bull in North Charleston, SC, who needs $1,000 for Heart worm treatment injections.

Beaux was found on scene of a residential fire chained next to an empty bowl and a cracked “shelter” that provided little protection. On the night his previous owners mindlessly surrendered him, it was 34°F and sleeting. In his 2 years of life, it was confirmed Beaux had never lived indoors or been to a vet. Beaux has since transformed into an indoor doggo and loves to cuddle with our 3 pitties!

For the first week, Beaux was terrified of many things found in a common household. He simply didn’t understand this new environment and often hid if we praised any stride of courage he made. We quickly discovered that Beaux was constantly watching and learning from our dogs. He has fully come out of his shell and does not appear to have ANY fears. He LOVES other dogs, cuddles, and every toy.

Being a rescue that has only lived outside, we are amazed at how quickly he learns right from wrong. This past month, we have slowly been working on his manners. Within a couple days, Beaux learned to ring bells to go potty. Although it sometimes drives us crazy, we adore how much he loves his toys. We’ve stopped picking them all up since Beaux will have every single one out within 10 minutes.

After learning Beaux had never been to a vet, we immediately had him seen. Unfortunately, Beaux tested positive for heart worms. Aside from this diagnosis, Beaux is a very happy and healthy boy. Our vet found no other concerns and he was recently neutered. Beaux has not shown any change in behavior or energy. Without a visit to the vet, no one would know this sweet boy was heart worm positive.

Dr. Klein at Olde Towne Vet has been amazing in helping us get this boy the care he needs. Due to us already having 3 pitties, Beaux’s unexpected diagnosis has been a financial strain for us. We would love any help to ensure he gets the treatment he deserves.
