Bruce is a 10 year old Shiba Inu in Hayward , CA, who needs $2,000 for Paw Surgery.

Bruce is a ten year old Shiba Inu who has been in our life since he was a puppy.
Bruce has always been by our side, even while living overseas in Japan (my husband is in the military)..but we were unfortunately not able to bring him with us to Africa 💔. Bruce has been staying with family while we are away and it breaks our hearts that we can’t be there for him when he needs us the most.

We received a shocking phone call from a family member letting us know Bruce’s paw was shattered out of nowhere and couldn’t walk without limping. Bruce was taken to a vet and they told us he would need surgery for it or amputation.
We of course would rather get surgery for his paw and save him the pain and depression from having to live the rest of his life with only 3 legs.

Bruce has a cat like personality. He is very calm but randomly will get the zoomies and start jumping off of walls (when he was able to). He is very intelligent and a great listener (when you have treats). Bruce and I used to go on long walks and trailing when he lived with us and is very patient with our toddler.

The surgery to keep his leg is over 12,000 dollars….its a very hard situation and we want to try our very best to keep Bruce’s paw so he doesn’t go through depression and have his life change even more drastically.
