Meet Champ 🐕
Champ is a little guy about 35-40lbs. He has a heart mumor requiring daily medication that will cost about $40 per month.🐾
He needs a laid back home without a lot of action. No other pets or kids as he gets excited and wants to play, which makes him not feel so well 🤒🐾
If you have it in your heart could you help Champ so he doesn't have to stay in the shelter.😪💙
