Boss is a 1-year-old American Bully in Gretna, LA, who needs $1,631 for Staged Heartworm Treatment.

Boss is my angel dog. Having seen him on the SPCA website, I had to have him because he reminds me so much of my heart dog, Jake, who passed last July. When I saw Boss' birthday is the day I said goodbye, I knew it was fate.

Boss is the perfect completion to our family. Biscuit and him have bonded like no other, and all 3 of our babies get along, as if they were always supposed to be together. I can't imagine life without them.

Boss is special because I swear he's my Jake come home, just like "Boss dog" in "A Dog's Purpose." I could have named him Junior, but Boss suits him well. He is my bestest friend, snuggling up next to me all night. He completes my little pittie party of 3.

Boss was diagnosed with heartworm yesterday (tested Wednesday, results). We picked up the Doxycycline today, along with treatment estimate from his veterinarian.

Between the loss of Jake, acquiring 2 new dogs, Biscuit needing emergency care, Zorro's recurrent ear infections and subsequent aural hematoma surgery, both resolved, and all annual shots, my Care Credit and other cards are maxed.
