"Being Euthanized on 9/25
Rescue Only, Heartworm Positive. Save His Life!
He is now the next dog to be euthanized, there will be no extensions."
This is how he sits just waiting for his last walk:

"Tyson's family walked him into the shelter, threw the leash and said 'we just found him.'
His heart is broken.
He sits watching people walk by, not being chosen.
No one has picked him as he has medical needs (Heartworm positive)
Pledges, Foster, Adopter Needed"

"Dogs with no signs or mild signs of heartworm disease, such as cough or exercise intolerance, have a high success rate with treatment. More severe disease can also be successfully treated, but the possibility of complications is greater."
