Please Help 9 Year old Dog Duke

Donation protected
I'm posting this for a friend named Rich who needs help for his newly adopted dog Duke.  Please help 9 year old Duke.  

Duke was adopted from a rescue on Saturday 2-25-17 along with a  younger 18 month old dog that is now called Daisy.  Duke was a roommate to the younger dog that was to  originally be the pet.   Since they were roommates and Duke was older, he was also taken home so that he could live out the rest of his life in a loving furever home and not in a shelter.   Rich didn't want to leave the old boy behind living out his last days in a shelter.  He didn't feel anyone else would adopt him due to his age.  He just couldn't walk away.  Duke seemed to be fine when he initially met him earlier that week.

Rich recently lost his dog of 10 1/2 years to diabetes and cushing's disease and decided to adopt a rescue dog.  He was very upset from his loss and knew that he could help another dog have a better life by adopting them..  He never expected to adopt two! However, he was very happy with his decision to do so!

The next morning 2-25-17 after Duke was brought to his new furever home, he was swollen and bleeding a lot from his recent neutering surgery.  The rescue neutered him just the day before we went to pick him up.  

Complications arose from that recent neutering.  He was taken to the emergency pet hospital.  He ended up getting a horrible, very painful, infection to which he is now in the hospital for.  Along with the infection, it turns out he is dehydrated, has water in his legs, and heartworms.   

The medical cost for his care is $5,000.00.  Duke needs your help with these medical costs.  

Everyone is now attached to Duke and wants him to pull through so that he can live out the rest of his life happy, healthy and surrounded by those who love with him and are willing to go the extra mile for him.  

Duke finally got a home and any donation to help in his care would be greatly appreciated. Please....

Let's all help Duke and bring him back home!  Thanks so much!
