Years ago I had a GSD that I adopted that had heartworm (when we got him) He was treated successfully and lived for a few more years but it is very hard on the body. He passed from renal failure.
If I had to do it again...I would. He spent the last years of his very short 4 year life knowing that he was loved. It's not for everyone...but my husband and I are all about second chances and forever homes.
I know it will be difficult to choose. Good Luck with your decision.
