Buddy
Buddy is a 2 month old Mix-Breed in Mineral Point , MO, who needs $2,000 for Diagnosis and Treatment.
Mineral Point, MO
He was found abandoned under a trailer home and my father in law got him from another person for us as a gift. We have had him for about 2 weeks with our other rescue dog we have had for several months now. We live in a tiny home on 2 acres where he gets plenty of exercise outside and to explore. Buddy is about 12 weeks old and suddenly on 9/26/24 he quit eating and drinking. He had got into an old oil pan that had rain water, unsafe to drink. He is also know to chew things up. He has diarrhea(light brown, runny) he vomits clear and yellow bile. He is active at times but mostly lethargic. We are using electrolytes and chicken broth to try and keep him hydrated but still he refuses to eat. Buddy is a lover. He loves to cuddle and loves to play with his squeaky hedgehog plush toy. He loves messing with our bigger older dog trying to get him to play. He is an explorer. He loves to bite toes as they hang off the bed and playing tug of war. He brings happiness to our family. We are on a fixed income and recently had to put our little bit of savings into our car to keep it running. Buddy got sick unexpectedly a couple of days after we spent all our money on fixing our car. Our puppy is family, like a child to us. He brings life to our family

Bonne Terre, MO
We've had Derby since birth. Him and Indica are from the same litter. He has 4 dog sisters, 2 cat sisters and 1 cat brother. Gracie, 4 years old, Great Dane Bailey, 8 years old, black Lab Indica, 3 years old, Pit mix Skye, 11 months old, Australian shepherd JJ, 10 years old, cat Felix, 3 years old, cat Georgie, 3 years old, cat All are spayed/neutered Derby is a big meathead but he is the most gentle, loving dog. He is always at my feet or by my side. Whenever I get up he gets up and follows me everywhere. (Yes even to the bathroom). He loves my grandkids, especially the youngest, who is 6. He has always cuddled with them all but Derby is the biggest cuddler out of all of them. He has the sweetest disposition and always makes me smile. They all play well but Derby and Gracie have the most fun together. They will go to the opposite ends of the yard and charge each other and bump chests. Then they get the zoomies and do it all over again. We live in the country on the river and they all love going to the river and playing in the water with the grandkids. He has his own recliner on the porch to take naps in. Derby tested positive for heart worms on May 8th. He has finished his steroids and antibiotics and he is scheduled to get his two injections on July 17th and 18th. The hardest thing is trying to keep him calm during this. My husband and I are both on disability. (He has lung cancer and I have had 4 neck surgeries and a lot of other health issues) With the economy the way it is money is very tight. Gracie also tested positive and we have to pay the same amount out of pocket for her too.
