Ducky is a 11-month-old Bernedoodle in Long Beach, CA, who needs $2,000 for Orthopedic Surgery.

At the end of May last year 2023 my Dakota went to see the angels, I was blessed with him for 16 1/2 years, after losing him the house and my heart was so empty so I decided to fill both again with love, and that is exactly what I found a new pup who I named Ducky. When I had seen his picture something just clicked and I knew he was for me. From the first day he has been by my side.

Even though he was 3 months old when I got him our bond is undeniable. He is my wild child so much fun and love from such a little package. He loves people not a mean bone in his body. He tries to play with the two older cats who don't seem to want to play with him, but that doesn't mean he stops trying...funny He is easy to train as long as you have a piece of cheese...good boy

Ducky is like no other, he wakes me up with kisses or pulls my blanket off me after I am up he goes back to sleep. When the mail comes he has to have his own (ads etc) shreds them to pieces same with packages. There is so much about Ducky that makes me smile and laugh everyday is a new adventure with him.

Since the first day Ducky seem to favor his right front leg, he would sit and his leg would start shaking. Once he was playing in the yard and started crying holding is right paw up, rushed him to emergency had x rays done but didn't find anything. Now he has broken his leg from jumping down 3 stairs. Emergency said he needs surgery, app set to see orthopedic vet at Primary Care.

I am on a fixed income and lost my job last year my emergency fund is now gone with vet bills. I will do anything for Ducky it is my responsibility to keep him safe and healthy even with his broken leg he is such a joy filled with lots of love. Keeping him healthy is tops.
