The Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth Humane Society are hoping someone can offer a home to Maisy, a dog with a terminal cancer.
They say the six-year-old mixed breed was a stray who arrived at the shelter in May.
“When our veterinary team examined her they found she had an ear infection, a bladder infection and very visible masses all over her body,” said Calla James, the director of community engagement and outreach. “She’s undergone two surgeries already, one to spay her and another to remove mammary masses from her body. When we did biopsy them, they were cancerous. She does have a very aggressive form of cancer.”
Right now, the shelter describes her as “happy, healthy and comfortable.”
“We’re reaching out to our communities to hopefully help us find her forever home – her hospice home – as well as help us fundraise to cover her medical costs,” James said.
Maisy's medical bill now totals about $5,000. Donations can be made on their website.
The humane society is also waiving Maisy’s adoption fee for anyone willing to take her in.
