Tucker is a 2-year-old Labrador in Marana, AZ, who needs $2,000 for Carpel Arthrodesis.

We got Tucker two years ago a sweet puppy who soon became a fearless dog who thought he was indestructible. We got him through adoption and he lives at home with 2 older children and mom. He has an older lab to keep him company, as well as cats, turtles, and other animals. He has a pool to swim in here in the Arizona desert. He's primarily inside but plays in the back yard.

Very high energy and playful, swims all the time, runs, jumps, and is just a bundle of energy. He's been a good boy and is learning obedience, and starting to get out of the puppy stage ever so slowly! He takes turns withsleeping in the kids beds as well as with mom. Each morning he goes for a swim in the pool.

He's the goofiest dog you could imagine. He hides his intelligence beyond his happy go lucky attitude. Always happy, always playful. So playful he's clumsy, which is part of how we came to needing such high vet bills. He is very sweet when he calms down and craves attention 24x7 yet can entertain himself by throwing the ball in the pool and getting it himself!

Tucker was at a friends house that has a two story garage with a viewing deck. He was watching him and took the older lab and him up there at sunset, and tucker not knowing what was on the other side of the wall decided to jump over the wall. He fell 23' feet to ground. Snapped his left leg and did major ligament and tendon damage to his right leg.

His bills are approaching $12,000. He needs fused surgery to fuse his paw to his lower leg because the original surgery didn't heal properly as the doctor has hoped. We are hoping to offset the costs of the new surgery. Maxed out credit cards on previous surgery.
