reat Pyrenees mix. This picture was my first day in my new foster home. Oh so comfy!! I was picked up from the shelter and taken to a nearby vet. It turned out that I had mammary cancer, and I had to have the tumor removed. My foster mom said something about “good margins.” I appear to be cancer-free, but I will need to be scanned again in 3 to 6 months along with weekly tummy rubs to check for any new tumors. I am fairly healthy otherwise, but my hips hurt sometimes. I take something to help with my mobility, and I feel so much better! I am one very laid-back poocherina and all I want in life is good head rubs…and belly rubs…and booty scratches. I am very independent, and I like to do my own thing. Anyone is free to pet me at any time, but I don’t demand it. I don’t really like hanging out with my humans, and their house dogs are “meh.” I guess they’re cute? Not as cute as me! I’m looking for a laid-back family who understands that I have a mostly Pyrenees personality. I’m stubborn (so says mom) and I do not do what I’m told just because you asked me to. I do what I want, essentially. I never pee or poop in the house (except for my first night but who can blame a girl? I was nervous!). Kiddos are ok….as long as all they want to do is stay in the house and play Nintendo . Other dogs are fine too, but I probably won’t interact much with them. Mom says I’m a bit of a diva, but whatever I AM royalty. Just give me love and the occasional walk! OH AND DON’T FORGET THE FOOD. I like food. ###Joy was pulled from the shelter last weekend. She is estimated to be about 8 years old. She was listed as urgent because she had a temperature of 103 and a mammary tumor. One of our volunteers picked her up and took her straight to the vet to get checked out. No pyometra was seen on X-rays the vet thinks she was just in heat. Nothing immediately life threatening. She had at least three known tumors. The vet aspirated other tumors to see what we’re working with. She also has an ear injection that our vet has begun treating. She had surgery Thursday to have the tumors removed and was also spayed. She is doing well and recovering. She will go to her foster home very soon. Our transporter said Joy is very sweet and laid back. Joy loves to be petted. We will update once we know more about her.
