My wife & I almost did the same thing .. Took over care for a Dod because the owner just couldn't. He was heartworm + but got through the treatment @ $2K
Looks like Great Dane from the pic. By far they’re the best breed of dog I’ve ever owned. Gentle Giant is an accurate description. Best of luck with treatment.
Are heartworm treatments really $2k. When my dog tested positive for heart worm and hook worm after rescuing, it was only like $200 for medicine. I'd wonder if they are pushing for treatments to make more money and not just give medicine.

I have my year and a half old lab currently getting his first treatment today and it's going to cost me about $1400 and he has to live in a kennel for the next 2 months. The dog was given his monthly medication religiously, but the vet said that it's possible he could have thrown up the medicine shortly after I gave it to him. Which is why they encourage people doing the shot form of the medicine that is good for a year, but it isn't offered when they are younger. It is super frustrating and if I didn't have so much time and money in this dog for hunting, I wouldn't have paid for the treatment and just given them the monthly treatment as usual and let it ride.
