Duke is a 6-year-old Shiba Inu in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $2,000 for Root Canal Therapy.

Duke is a 6 year old Shiba Inu. He lives with me his mom, and his two Shiba Inu brothers King and Boss. I am a single mother of these 3 precious boys and have recently experienced unexpected challenges. I faced a layoff, had my catalytic converter stolen in January and had 2 hit-and-runs in July leaving it damaged and in need of repair.

Duke is the sweetest boy compared to his older brothers. He is the most affectionate, loving, and quite needy of your attention. He is my shadow always making sure to ask for cuddles, pets, and best of all gives people so much love back. He is great with people and especially very curious with infants. He is so gentle with them.

The most commonly asked question and comment I get is How is your Shiba so affectionate and well-mannered. He is always smiling and aware of people's feelings that I feel lucky to have him as my son. He is also more loving than your typical Shiba which is quite special to me and always noted by anyone who meets him.

Duke's molar is broken in half exposing his root. I had taken him to see 2 doctors and my vet for recommendations and repair was highly recommended.

I lost my job and experienced my catalytic converter stolen along with 2 car accidents recently. He means the world to me, and I want to do everything in my power to ensure his well-being so he can continue being the happy and playful companion he has always been. Thank you
