Tater Tot
Hospice Foster
Male | Shepherd Mix
6 years; 74lbs
Tater Tot was picked up as a stray in December 2021 by the San Jacinto Animal Shelter. He is a very sweet, well behaved boy but sadly, he has terminal cancer.
Early examination revealed a benign fatty tumor on his abdomen, but soon after, more were found, one of which was a type of cancer – subcutaneous hemangiosarcoma. Additionally, a cystic mass was discovered on his colon but due to past difficulties in waking up from general anesthesia, the decision was made not to go down the surgical, radiation and chemo routes in favor of giving Tater Tot quality days for the remainder of his life with his beloved Hospice Foster Parent.
Poppie
Hospice Foster
Female | Chocolate Lab
8 years; 63lbs
Poppie is a sweet, active girl who seems far younger than 8 years old! She is a well-behaved girl who adores walks, loves to play, and can’t get enough love from her people.
We pulled Poppie from the shelter hoping to resolve some minor medical needs and rehome her, but when intubating Poppie for her spay, our veterinarian found a mass on her tongue. A biopsy confirmed it is melanoma. Poppie has been moved to our hospice foster program, becoming one of our forever foster dogs. We will provide for her medically and financially, and she will live out the rest of her days being loved and adored by her amazing foster family.
Poppie is doing wonderful despite the diagnosis. Every single day with her foster family Poppie gets two long walks, enjoys enrichment puzzles for at least one meal, and plays multiple games of fetch and tug o’ war. She is happy and energetic and has no idea she has a highly aggressive cancer.
