Please help us help Dorothy!

Being abandoned is horrible but being dumped with grade 4 dental disease and a ruptured mammary tumor is just plain heartless.  Animal control contacted Paw-Affection after Dorothy’s stray hold and we were informed she would need a mastectomy and dental and probably wasn’t spayed.  We started fundraising right away and was able to have her first mammary chain removed as well as the spay.  The pathology report indicated that she does have cancer and it spread to her lymph nodes.

Dorothy had her much needed dental and oncology consultation in early November.  The Oncologist agreed with the surgeon and agreed that we should give Dorothy the best life we can and pain management as he felt chemo/radiation was not a viable option. Dorothy is a happy little pup and responding the pain management very well.  Although she can't take her long walks any longer, she enjoys her stroller and car rides.
