Barkley is a 6 month old Poodle in Glenmoore, PA, who needs $2,000 for PDA Surgery.

Barkley, our spirited 6-month-old miniature poodle, joined us in March 2025 after we rescued him from the Phoenix Animal Shelter. Named after Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles, he brings energy, affection, and resilience despite a grade 5/6 heart murmur. He quickly bonded with our 10-year-old rescue, Cairo, & follows our young kids everywhere, sharing in their daily adventures.

Barkley is in need of emergency heart surgery. After a visit to his vet and cardiologist they deemed surgery his only chance at prolonged life. Hopefully after successful Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) surgery to close the valve he will be able to live a normal life span of a miniature poodle. Barkley may also need to be on heart medication long term.

Barkley is a spark of energy. You would never know looking at him that his heart on the inside is hurting. He is so playful, smart - learning all kinds of tricks already, and such a sweet boy. Our older dog may seem to feel that Barkley can be a menace at times, their bond has grown to be inseparable in such a short amount of time together filled with cuddles and even sharing a seat at the window.

Barkley's heart condition new was shocking to learn & comes along with a huge financial cost to our family unexpectedly. Seeing him unwell has been so hard, but the thought of him healthy again fills our hearts with hope—his recovery means our family feels whole again.
