Inspirational and Heartwarming Adoption Stories

“Annie obtained her Canine Good Citizenship certification through the MSPCA in January 2022 and we are happy to report that she passed the exam with flying colors. She has had 3 cancers – mast cell tumor, anal gland adenocarcinoma, and hemangiosarcoma – the last one diagnosed in June 2022 and she was given 1-3 months to live but she is one resilient pup. While she had surgeries for all of them, unfortunately the anal gland adenocarcinoma has returned but she doesn’t let that get her down. She still has a lot of spunk in her and loves exploring new places, swimming, and vanilla ice cream. She still surprises us by running around some days but as she’s gotten older she’s learned how to use ramps to get to her backyard and sit in a stroller for our longer walks. She also got to help marry us in our backyard in October 2022. Her other highlights since we last spoke are agility classes at the MSPCA, making new dog friends in the neighborhood, and going on lots of trips to the lake, the mountains, and the beaches of Cape Cod. We are still so thankful for our senior girl and feel blessed for every extra day we have with her.”
