Peanut was a stray in Detroit. The Pit Bull mix was cold, dirty, and skin and bones thin. Some good Samaritans found him, took him home, cleaned him up, and helped him become healthier. After a couple of weeks, his rescuers looked for Peanut's forever home. And that's when Jordan A. first met Peanut. "He was a perfect fit right away. He was slowly starting learning how to be a dog again," Jordan tells Waggle. Jordan brought Peanut to Cedar Creek Veterinary Clinic for vaccinations and a check-up. That's where he learned Peanut tested positive for heartworm. Since he was a stray, no one was giving him monthly preventative to prevent the terrible condition. If a dog tests positive for heartworm and is not treated, the worms continue to grow in the dog's heart, and the dog will die an agonizing death. Now Jordan is struggling to pay for Peanut's heartworm treatment. He created this Waggle campaign hoping generous pet lovers will chip in and help him save Peanut's life. "We were not planning on bringing Peanut home or any dog, but when we saw him, we knew he was meant for our family. What we didn't know was the extent of his medical needs, but we do know is that he deserves a second chance at life and happiness," Jordan says. Peanut has fit in perfectly with Jordan's family, and with your help, they want to give him a new "leash" on life. "He is special because he is a fighter, and despite all he has been through, he is sweet, loving, well behaved, and just overall a super sweet boy," Jordan says. "Peanut loves to give hugs, he will wait until you invite him to climb up and give you a hug, and sometimes he will even sneak in a kiss, even for his siblings sometimes."
