Duke is a 10 year old American Staffordshire Terrier in Georgetown, TX, who needs $6,000 for TPLO.

This is Duke, he is 10yrs old and a full breed american Staffordshire terrier, I've had him since he was 6 months old. He was listed on Craigslist, the owner had to find him a home within 5 days otherwise the authorities were going to euthenize him because of a county pitbull ban, so he went home with me and we have spent everyday together since that day!

Duke has been extremely healthy and active his whole life. He recently injured his leg, he had begun to limp and clearly was in a lot of pain. His vet suspected a tear and referred him to a specialist. The orthopedic vet VROC who confirmed he has a full ACL tear in his knee and urgently needs at TPLO to repair it. The longer he waits the more medical issues it could cause.

Duke is an amazing dog, he is my registered ESA dog. I have been through a lot of trauma and he never leaves my side. He is my best friend and honestly now my only family member. I work remotely from home so we are together literally all day everyday. He is the most important thing in my life.

The TPLO will cost around $6000 which has to be paid up front. I unfortunately do not have the money to pay it. I am rebuilding from leaving an abusive relationship after being stalked and went through all my money because of that situation. I would not survive without Duke!
