Duke is a 9 Year Old Labrador Retriever in Saugerties , NY, Who Needs $2,000 for Surgery for Broken Femur.

I had adopted Duke when he was 7 months old and he has been raised by me ever since he grew up in a home with his “little older brother” Rookie (a lemon beagle) currently we have all been workin on a family myself my girlfriend and her 5 year old son, Duke, Rookie, and now Kenzie my girlfriends German Shepherd.

Duke was hit by a car and rushed to Kingston Animal Emergency Clinic of The Hudson Valley where they discovered he has a broken femur in 3 places, and multiple cuts and abrasions. He was then taken to saugerties animal hospital the next day they had reviewed X-rays and sent us to guardian veterinary specialists where he is currently waiting for surgery rather than amputation.

Duke is the protector of the house, he is the boss of his little brother Rookie and the boss of his sister Kenzie. Duke is the first one to greet anyone at the door to be sure he knows you and the last one to go to bed after walking around the house to be sure everyone is in bed. Duke loves visiting the firehouse with me as I am an assistant fire chief and he loves going for walks and car rides

I work full time plus I volunteer for my local fire department, this surgery is very costly and unexpected I am the last one to ask anyone for help but I am asking for assistance for Duke to continue giving him that chance to walk and that life he has.
