Branson

This 7 year old handsome boy was rescued from an abusive situation and ready for a wonderful new life, only to be handed a death sentence.  Aggressive Multicentric Lymphoma.  His temporary foster home turned into his permanent foster care situation where he will live out being loved by foster mom, dad and fur brother. The prognosis is not good, but his attitude is.  Branson will not want for anything and will not be in pain.  And when that time comes, he will be surrounded by those that love him.

Blessing

We named her Blessing – because she is! She was found wandering in the dessert, dehydrated, covered in tumors and literally no hair on her body.  Yet somehow the shelter knew, from her smile and the wag of her naked tail, this was a Golden Retriever.  We rushed to our vet where it was discovered she had a rare disease that caused the hair loss.  But she was very old, very sick and would not be with us for too long.  This blessed soul is gracing us for her short time in the Martin's home where she still is wagging her tail, getting her tummy rubs, and never forgetting her cookie!  A decision will be needed to be made soon, but not today.    

Princess Pearl

Princess Beloved Pearl aged 10, was unceremoniously dumped at the shelter by her "family" when she could no longer produce puppies so in effect - could no longer pay her own room and board.  That was July 9, 2011.

Not only was she covered in open oozing tumors and fleas, but once they started shaving her, bugs (not fleas or ticks, but BUGS) were found crawling in her coat. We also discovered another eight tumors.  A bulbous tumor under her neck turned out to be a foxtail that had been left unattended for so long, that it had infected and turned on itself and grew and grew...

Princess's Lymphoma has most likely traveled to her brain as she is falling more and more each day.  But still manages to wag in happiness and give her gentle kisses.

Princess has been in the loving home and heart of Debbie Rothchild who believes that they were brought together for a reason.  Princess's time with us is drawing to an end, but she has been loved and cared for these last three month and treated like the royal angel she is.
