Hello everyone,
Charlie needs your help! After continuously drawing the short straw in life, he has been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and needs medication twice a day for the rest of his life. We are asking for help in raising enough money to cover 7 WEEKS of medication for Charlie. Read about Charlie in depth here: http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/dog/1255

We took Charlie in after seeing his URGENT post on the ARK website and facebook page. We were never in a position to vet another animal more than your average monthly heartgaurd, frontline, etc and this among other things was discussed. Unfortunately, the expenses due to medical issues that cropped up after a day of him living in our apartment have left us with no choice but to ask for your help.

Here is a summary of Charlie’s medical history and current needs:
1. Tested positive for heartworms and was treated while in the care of his previous foster.
2. It turns out that his adopter didn’t take him to the vet and a “healthy dog” came to us with horrible bacterial and fungal infections in his poor bleeding ears. His previous adoptive mom agreed to pay for this treatment.
3. He was then diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension caused by the heartworms he had previously. There is no choice but to treat his condition with medication twice a day for the rest of his life. Not only is this a financial strain, but also a huge deterrent for a more permanent home for Charlie.

WHAT IS NEEDED NOW:
- A stable foster or ideally an adoptive home (by March 1st).
- We would like to raise money cover 2 weeks of the medication that we have already given him + 5 more weeks to be given to whoever can provide him with a more stable foster or adoptive home. Grand total of 258,720W.
o 1 day of medication is 6,600W. My vet generously gives us a discount because Charlie is a rescue.

Charlie has been doing much better now that he is healthy and used to taking his medicine. He has a lot more energy and is in the process of learning many fun doggie activities. However, it is crucial that he has this medicine!

No amount is too small - just 6,600 W will cover one whole day! Please help increase the odds of Charlie finding his perfect forever home.
