Duke is a 1 year old Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois) in Oklahoma City, OK, who needs $4,509 for TPLO (Tibial Plateau leveling Osteotomy).

We adopted Duke from OKC Animal Shelter. We’ve had him about four months I think but not exact! Lol My 11 yr old daughter begged us for a month to get a dog so we went to the shelter and she picked Duke out. She knew right away he was the one. We have two cats one named Summer who also was adopted from the shelter and L’Oréal who we adopted from petsmart. Duke gets along great with them.

Duke somehow tore his leg while playing outside. The vet said it’s a partial tear which can lead to a full tear. I had already spent 500 just in exams and finally found Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital in Oklahoma City. They were honest with me and I finally got some answers. We don’t have funds to spend. I didn’t get excepted for CareCredit. I can’t afford any other expenses.

Duke loves to play and fetch balls. He’s a very active dog. After he hurt his leg he has trouble walking so he has to lay down and take breaks between. Me, husband and daughter have all formed a bond with him. He’s loving but does love to chase the cats. He loves kids, doesn’t like the lawn mower. My daughter especially has formed a bond with Duke. He helps her with anxiety issues and sleeping.

I’m already maxed out on my current credit cards I’m trying to pay down. Between a mortgage, health insurance, car payment and insurance I’m left negative. Mote bills than income. It would mean the world to us to give Duke the future he deserves without pain
