  Heartworm is treatable, but the treatment itself can kill them. It is also very expensive to treat. They also need to be confined for a long period of time as moving around can be fatal. 
The owners need to turn this poor guy over to a rescue to make sure he gets the proper treatment and care before being adopted.
