Nemo was spotted Tuesday afternoon about a half mile from shore at White Rock Lake when the Dallas Police Department rescue team pulled him out of the water and brought him to East Lake Pet Orphanage, according to NBCDFW.

But upon arriving to the pet orphanage, they discovered that Nemo has heartworm disease, and he needs $2,000 for treatment. In a Facebook post, East Lake Pet Orphanage is asking for donations to help treat the disease, which can be deadly.

“It will take some time before Nemo is ready and back to a healthy state, but he can be eligible to receive treatment with your help!,” the post reads.
