Pouppy is a 5-year-old Malitpoo in Brooklyn, NY, who needs $2,000 for Cruciate Lateral Suture.

Pouppy is one of the most playful dogs you will ever meet! My baby boy is 5 years old, and full of life. My coworker’s dogs had babies and she inquired if I’d be interested. I’m thinking, “what will I do with a dog?” I’ve never had a dog before. But when I saw his face I fell in love! I named him Pouppy because my bf has a French accent and pronounced puppy as poopee lol. It was perfect!

Pouppy loves my friends and family and they love him back. Soon as they come through the door he runs to get his ball because he’s ready to play. He’s usually running around the apartment but when he’s relaxing he’s on the bed with me laid out like a human lol. And one thing he absolutely loves is feet! lol. That boy will lick for hours if he could.

Working for a non profit is great, but when funding gets cuts it’s not so great. Due to COVID, funding for my position was cut and I don’t know what’s next for me as they will soon do layoffs.

It hurts me that one of his legs is hurting so much that he can’t put it down. He has a CCL which is basically an ACL tear in his left knee. The doctor said it happens in very playful dogs. Even though he still loves to play, it’s very limited now because he can’t run and jump like he used to. It’s also affecting his mood because he sleeps more now. I just want my old Pouppy back to normal.

Pouppy is special in so many ways. One funny thing I’ve noticed while working from home is that he’ll be quiet when I’m on virtual calls, but once I say the word “Bye” he jumps right up! He knows I’m getting off the phone and it’s time for him to get some attention. It’s the sweetest thing. He jumps off the bed and sits with puppy dog eyes nudging the ball towards me.
