Max is a 4.5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier in Tulsa, OK, who needs $1,681 for Heartworm Treatment.

Max (aka Maximus) is a 4.5 year old American Staffordshire Terrier that adopted our family Thanksgiving of 2017, when he was approx 9-12 weeks old. He lives with my husband, myself and our two young daughters. He stays outside when it’s nice, inside when it’s not and sleeps both on a pillow in our room or in a crate if we are gone.

Max has become such an integral part of daughters lives and The Roberts Clan as a whole. He loves car rides, shopping at Lowes and PetSmart, and getting a Puppuccino from his favorite Dutch Brothers Barista! He constantly plays with our daughters, whether it’s chasing them around the yard or guarding them as they swing.

Max adopted us shortly after our beloved Dalmatian passed and glued our broken hearts back together. He has grown up with my daughters, 8&10 and is totally inseparable from my husband. We joke that he is the “joker” because when he smiles wide, you would swear he was the dog version of the joker.

In June, Max went for his yearly checkup and it was discovered he was suffering from heartworms. We immediately started Doxycycline (antibotics) and Simparica Trio.

On July 12th, we received an estimate from two separate animal clinics ranging from 1681.63 - 2471.10 for treatment. We have chosen Woodland West at $1681.63.

In June, we originally paid $604 at Woodland West and over $200 in Max’s RX since. Two weeks ago, I had a medical issue that costed an unexpected $7,880. Max is the heart of our family - always knowing when we need his cuddles. We have been heartbroken that he isn’t 100%
