Duppy is a 8-year-old Australian Shepard Mix in Morgan Hill, CA, who needs $2,000 for Heart Worm Eradication.

Duppy's previous owner surrendered Duppy due to her incarceration. He's been subjected to yelling for hours on end over the past year and food insecurity. Since coming to live with us last month he is so much less stressed and has become the most loving dog one could ask to have. He enjoys his kibble morning and evening and a warm comfy bed at night. During the day he enjoys bathing in the sun.

Duppy has a zest for life that is contagious. Over the past month he's discovered he has a love of tennis balls and riding in the car. If he encounters an open car door hell jump in even if it isn't his car. He sleeps next to the bed and never jumps up unless given permission. He's super easy going and will willingly give you each of his paws to clip his nails without so much as uttering a word.

The first thing you'll notice about Duppy is his striking ice blue eyes. He worms his way into the heart of everyone he meets. He is loving towards his feline friend Blaze and will lick him lovingly. In the short time we've had Duppy he's become extremely attached; crying if we're out of sight. He's loving, kind, gentle and very loyal!

Duppy's past owner failed to provide him with basic medical or preventative care. Once we adopted him we took him to the vet for a thorough check-up and it was discovered that sadly he has heart worms. Our veterinarian believes he has a long and healthy life ahead of him if treated soon. We wish to see him happy and healthy, he is a faithful, kind and caring companion.

Due to an impending divorce, the associated legal fees, and loss of income, treatment costs just aren't in the cards. We're fully committed to preventative care and providing him a comfortable life. The unexpected expense immediately just wasn't something we had anticipated.
