Phoenix is a 2 year old Boxer in Tavares, FL, who needs $700 for Heartworm Treatment.

Back in December I was on my way to my mom's when I saw 2 dogs running loose. I called the number on the tag of the one and it was my mom's neighbor. He explained the dogs keep jumping the fence and the boxer was always in trouble chasing chickens and getting out and he needed to find her a home. My boyfriend and I have both had boxers in the past so I jumped on getting another one.

When I took her to the vets in March for her annual checkup, shots and to get her on a monthly preventative she tested positive for heartworms, she looked so healthy so we had no idea.

She is the weirdest most loving dog. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her. She's never barked and she's so gentle with kids. We couldn't imagine life without her

She started get treatment for the heartworms last month. Last week my boyfriend got injured at work and broke his ankle and we're fighting to get him short term disability. Phoenix goes for her last treatment the end of the month which is also my boyfriends birthday.
