We rescued Kane from Broward County Animal Care in July 2019 after he was confiscated from his owner, who kept him outside, tied to a tree with insufficient food or shelter, for years. He was in terrible shape and had clearly been neglected with no medical care. When we took him on, he was full of tumors and needed a lot of medical care, including more than $1,000 a month in medications.

With this treatment, Kane made great progress and settled in to be a happy boy. His mobility improved, he started to play again, his pain was reduced and he became very goofy and funny with his foster and other dogs.

But then he started to decline in November. He lost his appetite and his quality of life diminished significantly. He had been through so much, his poor old body just gave out and he passed on Dec. 18, 2019.

While we were all devastated at his loss, we were so happy that, after years of neglect and suffering, he was able to know love and feel safe and happy for his last six months.

Rescuing complicated senior cases is often heartbreaking, but we know that, with your help, we were able to give Kane comfort and joy even for just a short time. He was loved and we miss him.

Thank you for helping us help Kane.
