Burksy is a 11-month-old Goldendoodle in Hot Springs, AR, who needs $2,000 for Save his Leg.

We got Burksy as a Puppy, my son (8 years old) has debilitating anxiety and we were told that a therapy dog might help him, he picked Burksy and they have been inseparable ever since! He got Burksy at 8 weeks old on his 8th birthday, and so far anytime that his anxiety spikes, Burksy has been right there and helped him through it!

Burksy loves to be with his person, 8 year old little boy, he loves to fetch tennis balls and run. He also loves to swim at the lake and play in the water! He is a silly, clumsy puppy, and is so very loved by the whole family! Until he slipped and broke his leg, he has always been an active playful cuddlebug! He is 80 pounds but still acts thinks he is a small lap dog!

He will play fetch non-stop for hours at a time, as long as someone will throw a ball, he will play! He loves to run and swim, he is very clumsy, and sometimes swims too far out and has to be "rescued" or pushed back in. He also love to lay in my bed, right in the middle of it, even though he has his own bed in every bedroom in our house.

Burksy broke his leg on December 23rd, he has been in a cast since then and unfortunately it is not healing right, we are faced with a decision on an expensive surgery or an amputation. He is not quite a year old and is so active that we are scared the amputation may make him less active and playful!

My husband lost his job as a Loan Officer the end of 2022, we have been struggling to pay our house bills much less an expense of this size. It would mean the world to a very concerned little boy and our entire family to have our furbaby back and healed!
