Shelby is a 6 year old German Shepherd Dog in Kinta, OK, who needs $1,500 for Melarsomine Dihydrochloride Injections.

Shelby came into my life on January 30th. I was driving my normal route home from college. I saw Shelby on the side of the highway obviously needing help. Long story short she did not want anything to do with me. I fed her and went on my with day. February 3rd she was in the same spot only this time she remembered me and my kindness and allowed me to eventually take her home.

I took Shelby to the vet the same day that I brought her home. Shelby was diagnosed with heart worms. Despite this diagnosis Shelby is said to be healthy. I have another dog that she has already shown love to but I can't keep her and house her without proper treatment to avoid spreading the worms to my other dog.

I have passed many dogs in my life that were homeless but for some reason something told me to turn around for Shelby. The first time I met Shelby she was slightly aggressive due to fear and standoffish. The second time I saw her she wagged her tail due to her remembrance of me. Shelby is a dog that have lots of love to give but it is evident she has been let down by those who previously had her.

I am currently a college student in my last semester of nursing school. Her treatment was estimated to be $1,500 dollars. While I would love to help her it is just not financially possible. I would love the opportunity to finish what I started and give Shelby a forever home.
