Buck is a 8 year old Labrador Retriever in Colorado Springs, CO, who needs $5,000 for Addison's Disease, Life Support, and Imaging.

Buck was a rescued pup we got when he was just under 6 months old . From then on he has been an absolute member of our family , where he closely grew up with his pup- sister Oaklee (boxer) . Buck is a model citizen and has been an extremely healthy dog until he picked out the wrong treat at the pet store after a bath.

Buck consumed a EarthWise “No*Hide” chew from our local pet store. After eating it , buck started going down hill medically. It started with peeing/ throwing up in the house , could not hold any food down and then later completely refused to eat anything. 3 days go by and it’s time to take him to the emergency vet . He has since been under the close eye of our wonderful local vet ER .

Buck is a critical member of our family . With a 2 month year old baby brother , 4.5 yr old sister , and his pup sister . He is your typical lab where he is loving , caring and very affectionate , until someone’s grabs a toy ! Instincts take over and he goes into retriever mode until it’s time to rest.

With two dogs , a 4.5 year old and a 2 moth year old , we were already stretched pretty thing as it was. Both parents are active duty Air Force. We are getting unfortunately close to having to make the tough decision to not keep him in urgent care just because of money.
