Izzy is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Perry, AR, who needs $781 for Dirofilariasis (Heartworm).

A coworker rescued Izzy from a household that had too many pets and was neglecting her. Once Izzy found her freedom, come to find out, Izzy didn't like being with the coworkers existing dog. We had just lost our 16-year-old Boxer a couple of months ago and were delighted to rescue Izzy (and my coworker).

We had only had Izzy for a couple of weeks and took her in for her checkup and annual shots. Unfortunately, testing found that she has Heart Worms.
Hospital: Lake Hamilton Animal Hospital
Doctor: Dr Brian Peters

Izzy loves all people (not so much other dogs). She is very well behaved and loves to fetch and tug (once procedure is complete). She, like a lot of dogs, is afraid of thunder (4th of July was not a happy time for her). It's just me and my husband, so she is our Fur Baby and gets way too much attention!

This huge expense could not have come at much worse of a time...we have to have $2k by Aug 1 and another $2K by Oct 1 for Homeowners Insurance. We had a couple of major expenses earlier this year which ate up all our savings. This is not a procedure that can wait.
