About this campaign

My name is Chris, and I’m asking for help to save my 3-year-old German Shepherd, Tank.

Tank is a 3-year-old German Shepherd, born May 5, 2022, one of eight healthy pups. He lives with me, his single owner, in a quiet home. Once playful and strong, he now struggles with heartworm and inflammation. Despite illness, he’s gentle, well-behaved, and deeply bonded to me, relying on my care daily.

Tank, my 3-year-old German Shepherd, battles heartworm and severe inflammation that stole his mobility, appetite, and joy. Treated at Arroyo and Brownsville Vet Hospitals, we’ve spent nearly $3,000 on meds, tests, and X-rays. He urgently needs costly fluid analysis, continued meds, and heartworm treatment to survive and regain strength.

Tank is a gentle, loving 3-year-old German Shepherd who naturally led his litter of eight. He loves being near family, playing with a ball, and still wags his tail when we say his name despite his illness. He’s never had formal training, yet vets are consistently surprised and compliment his calm, kind, and well-mannered behavior.

Tank is more than my dog—he’s family.
Heartworm and severe inflammation are weakening him daily. We’ve spent $3,000, but need $3,000 more for critical tests, meds, and treatment. Your help now could save his life and bring back his strength, joy, and tail wags.
