I was on my way to work one morning and I saw Fazo standing in the road. Cars were swerving around him and he was just standing there in shock. I pulled over and called to him. He ran right over and jumped in my car. I took him to check for a microchip and he didn’t have one. I was going to take him to a shelter but I couldn’t bring myself to. I had fallen in love with him. He was covered in fleas and ticks and extremely skinny. It broke my heart. How could someone abandon him like this?

He went for a vet visit where he got some tests and his shots. A few days later, I got a call that he was heartworm positive. This was devastating news. As a 19-year-old mostly supporting myself, I can’t afford the thousands of dollars it will take for his treatment. This is one of my only options. Anything helps.
