Taz is a 6-year-old Doberman Pinscher in Lake City, FL, who needs $2,000 for heartworm treatment.

I took in taz as a puppy cause his previous owners couldnt care for him at 8 weeks old. Since then taz and i have been inseparable. Taz has been there since 1 day to save me from my own demons. And has been there to protect my kids like a gum stuck to a shoe. My baby has always been there for us from being assaulted to protecting livestock from other wildlife, etc. We do our very best to care from him. We have gone to endless housing cause they wouldn't accept his breed in the community so instead of rehoming him or taking him to the pound. We kept it moving along cause if he wasnt welcome neither were we. He is much more then juat a pet/dog.. He is family and a very protective older brother to my kids.
