My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nelson unfortunately has gotten some bad news today, and he isn't taking the news very well....
He is heartworm positive ❤️‍🩹
Poor Nelson already is having a hard time adjusting to the shelter life and to top it all off the news of having heartworms is just heartbreaking. While heartworm disease is treatable, it does take a toll on these poor pups, especially soft souls like him that are already stressed at the shelter.
Nelson is desperately in need of a foster home or furever home. He is around 7-8 years old and needs a home with no cats. He does ok with some other dogs, but a meet and greet is required with potential dog siblings. His ideal home would be a calm, laid-back home while he undergoes his treatments.
Nelson will be undergoing treatment at the Pet Wellness Center of Southern, IL. If you would like to donate to his medical bills you can do so by calling the clinic at 217-342-7444.
