Franklin is a 7-year-old Pit Mix in Brookville, IN, who needs $2,000 for Heartworm Treatment.

We adopted Franklin shortly after our elder dog had passed away. I was not really interested in another dog but there he was, listed on shelter page I follow, wearing a winter sweater. I HAD to meet him. I took my husband on a "drive". He came home with us :) He is such a cuddle bug. He enjoys his pup cup and hotdogs stops

Franklin would never survive outside. He is so babied, it is unreal. 100 percent my fault. He has a nice bed with a full sized comforter and body pillow but chooses to lay with me. He has to touch me at all times. If my husband cuddles with me,here Franklin comes to push him away. It's hilarious. Franklin has a bucket of toys but prefers reg bottled water bottles and the rubber chicken that squack

Franklin does the funniest thing when we try to move him down our bed or off the bed. He throws his entire weight downward and pushes our chests away. He suddenly becomes double his weight. He runs to the door when he has to poop and wimpers but prances of so fancy like when he just has to go. All dainty like. It's so cute

In Nov, Franklin started peeing all of the house. He couldn't hold it. I found him by the front door laying in his own pee not responsive. I took him to his vet and they said he wouldn't make it through the weekend. Turns out he has a hole in his heart but also heartworms in which he was given a monthly preventative. He was in two hospitals. His care credit is maxed. This last treatment is now 838

As of today, I am not working. His care credit is maxed out again. He's been there for me and I need to be there for him. He has been confirmed to still have the arrythmias.
