Copied from the Seminole Humane Society:
"Blanca is feeling good, looking good and is in high spirits. She is a two-three year old Great Pyrenees. She has 3 legs and has been recovering from surgery this past few weeks from bone cancer. Luckily, with the amputation Blanca is cancer free. Blanca is such a loyal girl. She is awfully sweet and is a relaxed dog that doesn't mind older doggies, kids or cats. Blanca is also a poster baby for her potty-training skills! She will let you know when she has to go by standing up and pacing. Blanca is leash trained and will need an inside home with a fenced yard. She's been fully vaccinated and dewormed. She was also recently professionally groomed. Her adoption fee is only $25."

Is anyone bothered by the fact that they say bone cancer, and that she is now cancer free? I hope she finds a family, but if it really was osteo, I would hate for her to end up with a family that didn't understand the normal progression of the disease and the care she might need. But yes, if she were closer, Gator and I would probably go meet her.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
Yeah Christine, that definitely stood out to me too! I was torn about making a comment and talked mhself out of it.
I'm glad you DID comment!! The new owner needs to be made aware that "cancer free" at the moment, does not mean you can let your guard down.
I guess my thinking regarding that comment is, at this point, there is no reason to say otherwise if her lung xrays are clear. There is no 100% PROOF that microscopic cells are ALWAYS lurking somewhere in EVERY dog! We have survivors who prove that point!
HOWEVER, I agree, the new owner MUST be educated and made fully aware of all possibilities regarding this piece of crap disease! And being "cancer free" is certainly a possibility and we've seen it here!
I guess I was somewhat trusting (maybe naively so) that the new owner would be fully informed by the Vet and Rescue.
Thanks Christine!!
