Cavender came to rescuers with a pretty bad upper respiratory infection and heartworms. Since his URI was rapidly progressing, rescuers immediately rushed him to the vet for an evaluation. Doctors believe he may now have Pneumonia along with heart problems due to his heartworms. Cavender is currently being hospitalized while receiving fluids, strong antibiotics, injectable meds to help the heart issues, and receiving breathing treatments every few hours.
Heartworm is completely preventable, but because Cavender has lived a life filled with neglect, he is now struggling to simply breathe. Please consider making a small donation to Cavender's care to help him win this battle. No amount is too small and everything makes a difference, thank you!

Cavender sat at the lonely, frightening shelter waiting for someone to come along and be his hero. Despite the shelter volunteer's best efforts of posting an urgent plea for this sweet boy, there were no shares and no one was stepping up. That is until when Fort Worth Abandoned Animal Alliance saw one heartbreaking picture of Cavender and they instantly knew they needed to intervene.
