Duke, our sweet black lab, has been a loyal companion for years. He just turned 8, but instead of celebrating, we’ve been focused on getting him through one of the hardest moments of his life.

A few weeks ago, Duke suddenly got very sick. Since then, he’s been in and out of the hospital battling pancreatitis. He hasn’t fully recovered, and now there’s a serious concern it could be something more, possibly even cancer. He is currently hospitalized, and the next step is to see an internist, neurologist, and oncologist so they can run more tests and understand what’s really going on and how to help him.

We’ve already used up all of our resources trying to get him the care he needs. It’s been overwhelming, but we’re not ready to give up on him. Duke means everything to us, and we just want to give him the best chance to heal and stay by our side.

We’re asking for help to cover his ongoing medical bills and the tests he urgently needs. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward his care. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this would mean so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read Duke’s story and for helping us fight for him.
