Lovable, Oversized Lap Dog is HW+

Traveler is a sweet, handsome FLOOF of a dog! Weighing in at 100 pounds, this pup just wants to cuddle and be loved. (His favorite activity recently has been snuggling up with the little boy who is fostering him!) 

Traveler was surrendered by his owners to a shelter in rural Virginia. The shelter doesn't get much foot traffic from the public, and asked if we'd take him on. He has been nothing but loving and gentle since he arrived! He even knows a few commands (like heel, sit, and stay) and has perfect manners on a leash. He's a very good boy. 

Before he finds his new forever home, there's just one thing this good boy needs--heartworm treatments! Unfortunately, Traveler tested positive for Heartworm Disease. If we don't do anything, the worms inside his heart will continue to grow and multiply. He will grow weaker, and every breath will be harder and harder to take. 

If we don't do anything, Traveler will die. 

The great news is, there is something we can do! Traveler just needs a round of medications to kill off those heartworms, and he will be good to go. Unfortunately, this treatment costs a pretty penny. He's relying on us to find a way to make it happen. Can you help this lovable, oversized lap dog???
