Bosun is a 2-year-old Mixed Breed Dog in Bradenton, FL, who needs $254 for Heartworm Treatment Injections.

While camping in Live Oak, Fl at Thanksgiving I found him after being told he was there for several weeks. You can see in the picture him and I in our tent the first night I rescued him. He was so exhausted but we had an immediate bond. He was not chipped and I was told at the shelter after 2 weeks he would be put down. Well, he came home with me the rest is history. It was meant to be.

Bosun is the most amazing, funny, chill, loving little snuggle bug you could ever want in a dog. He loves his home and my kids absolutely adore him. He instantly fit into our hearts and home like he had always belonged there. He chases my cats but is always very gentle. It's like he knows we rescued him, he had a tough life before but now gets tons of love and hugs!!!!

He howls when he wants hugs and talks to you when you come home I swear he says I love you. Pushes your hand until you pet him or when he wants attention. and has the most adorable little gallop to his walk. He's a mixed breed so he very unique looking and people always stop to pet him and he's more than happy to accept.

I took Bosun for a well check to get all his shots, neuter, and microchipped when I got back. I found out he tested positive for heartworm. I was heartbroken I didn't know much but the clinic explained the treatment process to me and cost, they were amazing with him. I wanted to do all I could to treat him. I paid for his first injection on April 20th.

I myself had to have knee replacement surgery (first of two on 4/20) same day as his first shot. I had complications and have been out of work and will be for at least a month. He's due for his next shots 5/17 & 5/18 I'm a single mom and I took a big financial hit.
