Walker is a 5 year old Siberian Husky in White Cloud, MI, who needs $900 for Exam + Bilateral Cryptorchid Surgery.

A friend gave me (WolfSpirit) Walker as a baby pup in April 2020 when COVID had just started. I got him microchipped right away but found out that he couldn't be neutered because he has bilateral cryptorchidism - neither of his testicles dropped! He needs a dual orchidectomy and it cost a lot more than I could come up with but at the time. However, the vet said that as long as I got it done while he was still young (< 5 or 6) it likely wouldn’t become a problem.

I had saved about $300, but then in July 2024 he went missing! Being a husky, he had gotten out of the yard a couple times but he always came back by the end of the day. This time there was no sign of him! Knowing he was ‘chipped I held out hope, but after a year I began to think I’d never see him again. Then, to my joy and relief, after 18 MONTHS, Kent County Animal Shelter called me to say they had him and I could come get him (01/02/2026). He was found over 55 miles away from home!

The BIG problem is that now he is 6 years old (as of February 26, 2026), having two undescended testicles puts him at a much higher risk for cancer if not surgically corrected ASAP - anywhere from 4x to 14x greater than a normal dog - so time is of the essence! The surgery was estimated at ~$600 about a month before he was lost, and at this point we also need ~$250 to renew his shots and get him a pre-surgical examination.

UPDATE 02-23-26: He started dripping blood from his penis and I am taking him in for an emergency appointment at 8am tomorrow. Considering his condition, this is not a good sign! I love Walker very much and feel blessed to have him back, but my only income is SS disability and I’m still just scraping by myself. I feel like I have to get this surgery for him before something seriously bad happens and I truly appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer us at this crucial time! Thank you so much!
