Hubble is a 2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier in Ithaca, NY, who needs $3,000 for Heartworm Treatment.

I chose to have Hubble travel from a high kill shelter in TX, two years ago to come to me in Upstate NY. Best two yrs of my life. Together 24/7 (exception of appointments and groceries);exploring nature, he is my world. He is my emotional support animal, but Im really his. He can’t stand to be separated from me,even if it’s with my partner of 13 yrs. Hubble saved my life. Please help me save his.

I didn’t realize Hubble was not tested for heartworms. This is my first puppy. I had an antiquated vet (since changed) who didn’t have Hubble tested at appropriate age. My new vet suspects he’s had these since adoption. The antiquated vet refused to follow American Heart Worm Society gold standard for treatment. I had to find a vet that would follow protocol to ensure best outcome. $3000 estimate.

I call Hubble my Tender-Heart. He’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever met. He was so easy to train, eager to please, just bursting with joy, life and love. His favorite game was ball until he has become too tired to play as the Heartworm progresses. It’s hard to see my boy, so full of life just a few months ago, go to napping all day and clearly uncomfortable. Hubble taught me how to be a better person.

I’ve been on SSI since 2021. Since adopting Hubble, I ensure he has the best possible food, play, interaction, and vet care. I did not know I was not receiving the proper tests and preventative from my prior vet. My heart is breaking. I don’t know how to live without Hubble
