He may look scary, mean, and to some he may just be a vicious pit but i assure you he is not. He is everything but those things. His looks are the result of neglect and at one point pure cruelty. To me, well, he is my everything. His name is meat head and we call him "meats" for short. He was brong to me almost a year ago and from the moment i met him, even with all of his scars i fell in love. He had a story and although I didnt know it fully I knew what it consisted of. He was sweet, a gentle soul and immediately myself and my family took him in. He fit in well. He never bothered anything, played with all four of my kids, even made best friends with our cat Toby. He was home, forever, he had stolen our families heart. He was inside one day and needed to go out and thats where our story turns bad. A much larger dog attacked my sweet boy. I rushed home from work, scooped him up and rushed him to the vet. He was almost dead by the time i got him there but they saved him. He had 18 stitches and a dranage tube in his throat, but that wasnt the worst part. He tested positive for heart worms. Not knowing his complete background he could have had them for a while. He was 3 years old and had always been outside until he became a part of our family. I was devestated, it was a double wammy! Treatment would cost roughly $700 to $900 and i had just paid $500 of which i didnt have but i couldnt let him die. He had become my 5th child. He is my sweet boy. It has been 4 months since Meats surgery and although he healed perfectly from it he is now showing signs that his heartworms are taking over. He has accidents now (he never had them before) he is very weak unlike his normal playful self. Tonight i called him into my husbands and my room to go to bed and my sweet boy couldnt even jump up to get into bed with us. My heart is breaking. The photo above is a photo i took of him and my husband earlier. You can see the sickness in his eyes. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes begging for help. He may just be a dog to some but he is my child and I am willing to do whatever it takes to save him so I am reaching out. Whether it be $1, $10, $50, or even $100,I dont care because every little bit donated is more than what i have for his treatment. Please help me save my sweet boy. I saved him once before from an unknown life and in return he showed me and family what truly loving an animal was like. We cant lose him. Please help me to keep my baby home with my kids where he belongs.
