Duke is a 1 year old English Mastiff in Vandalia, OH, who needs $2,000 for Leg Amputation.

Hi everyone! This is duke. Duke is a rescue, I got duke when he was 4 months old. We have been together ever since. Duke was my first big responsibility as i moved out at 17. And took in this big boy. Duke shares an apartment with his brother (cat) Romeo. Duke’s name was picked by me. My two options were duke and Scooby because duke resembles a lot like scooby doo.

When i rescued Duke he was very underweight. As he got bigger and getting his weight back be began to have a limp on his back left leg. He went to the vet and i was told it could be growing pains and to massage and exercise it.It continues to get worse we go back and they finally did x-rays.In the c-rays it shows that duke has a broken femur. With how it is broken he will have to have it Amputated

My boy is my best friend. Being 18 fresh out into the world. It’s just me and my big boy. Duke is the biggest fan of the river and loves to go swimming. He loves the water hose, and walks to get snow cones. Duke is a big time cuddle bug who takes up the whole bed. He enjoys eggs, and his favorite is cheese.

Being 18, starting college and working as a serve. It’s extremely hard to come up with the money for his surgery. All i want is to have a healthy boy who is able to run without any pain. Anything helps and so gratefully appreciated.
