Duke is a 5 month old American Staffordshire Terrier in Grass Valley, CA, who needs $2,000 for Surgery or Amputation on Front Right Leg.

We met Duke while visiting the SPCA. He was shy and sat in the corner. We arranged a visit with him and when he came into the room he smiled at us so big we could see his puppy teeth. He curled up on my lap and that was it. We feel in love. Since then everyone that meets him has fallen in love with him. He is so gentle and loving. His best friend and big sister Sadie are inseparable.

While out on a family outing Duke and Sadie were playing like they always do. They both ran up a pile of snow and slid down. Once at the bottom both lost there footing and rolled the rest of the way. Sadie then landed on top of Duke causing a fracture in his front leg. We immediately took him to the emergency vet in Reno. We were told he needs to have surgery to repair the break or amputate.

Duke is the biggest cuddle bucket you’ll ever meet for a an American Bully. Duke loves going to the dark park with Sadie. They’re the best of friends, Duke is everyone’s friend. At the dog park, he always runs to the gate to meet his incoming dog friends. When coming home from work, he always comes running to the door to greet you with hugs. He loves our kids,& loves our orang kitty jello bean.

This is a very unexpected financial issue as we have already spent what we had on the emergency vet. We have 6 children 2 that are foster children that we are in the process of adopting due to the lose of there parents and we are on a very tight budget.
