Zoey, also known as The Crazy Beast, was a snow dog through and through. She was happiest bounding through the snow with her friends and family, especially if chasing a ball or carrying a stick was involved. This photo was taken when she was 11.5 years old in our favorite place, playing her favorite game.

Cody, 12 was diagnosed with liver cancer in June 2012. He was a brave canine cancer warrior for 16 months with comfort measures. He crossed over the Rainbow bridge on October 12, 2013. Cody was my best friend and heart dog. He was my first therapy dog completing close to 700 visits. Cody loved burgers and pizza. He loved sleeping under the Christmas tree. He especially loved hugs when I came home from work wrapping his head around my neck or giving me kisses. Cody, you will always be my hero and best friend. You are missed so very much.

Peanut was diagnosed with HSA and had an emergency splenectomy on Christmas Eve 2019. He fought such a hard battle, especially during Covid shutdown and passed away May 7th of 2020 at 13 years old. Peanut was a Aussiedoodle. Born on February 14th, 2007, he was my funny Valentine. Heart shaped spots included! He was more human than dog. He LOVED celebrating birthdays and dressing up. He was my dog son, the love of my life. We did everything together but he especially loved spending time with me in the garden. To carry on his memory I have started The Blue Peanut Garden. Every Spring we do a seedling sale and all profits go to NCCF. Our hope is to help others with awareness, prevention, care and support.

My boy, Finn, 3.5 years old when this photo was taken. He never liked to have his picture taken but with the help of a squirrel who caught his attention, I scrambled to grab my phone to take his picture. Finn passed 2 weeks before his 5th birthday from lymphoma. Though Finn lost his battle with cancer he never stopped wagging his tail and bringing light and joy into our family's life.

Buckshot, aka Bucky celebrated his 17th birthday recently. He is a 4 year cancer survivor from a removal of a Mast Cell Tumor on his left for limb. These days he enjoys long naps, short walks & of course loves to visit friends for a seasonal photo or two.

Kumi, 11, was diagnosed with Lymphoma in July 2021. She was a brave canine cancer warrior who fought for 11 months . She crossed over the Rainbow bridge on June 21, 2022. Kumi was a wonderful therapy dog with close to 800 therapy visits. She especially loved pizza, burgers, and ice cream. She will always be my baby girl.

This is my beautiful Lily~pad. She loved the snow and always looks so beautiful in it with the white snowflakes in her soft, fluffy, black fur. I lost her to cancer in 2019. I’m so glad it snowed for her last Winter so she got to experience it one last time. There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t still think of her and miss her.

Indy is a 5 year old Golden Retriever, living in Washington, DC. At 3 years old, he was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma and given a 6 to 9 month prognosis. Now, over 2 years later, he is thriving in remission thanks to CHOP chemotherapy and a successful allogenic bone marrow stem cell transplant (BMT) at NC State University Veterinary Hospital. Indy volunteers as a therapy dog for those in need, and did so throughout his cancer treatment. Since diagnosis, his Instagram account, @indy.on.insta, has been used to advocate for canine cancer awareness and treatments. Indy represents inspiration and hope in the fight against canine cancer!

Celebrating our Queen Chloe’s 10th Birthday after the previous year of surgery and treatment for Anal Sac Cancer. My soul dog …forever loved.

Ceilidh (pronounced Kay Lee) was a 7 year old Shetland Sheepdog; she passed from Mast cell cancer. Actually, she had surgery on her 7th birthday to remove the tumour. We had just begun to get back to agility and were hoping to go to the regional championships when the cancer came back in her lymph system. Ceilidh was 7 years, 4 months and 5 days old when I let her go the Bridge. She was six qualifying scores from being an agility trial champion. She was my wonderful crazy Ceilidh, a champion of my heart!

My precious Teddy, adopted from the humane society at 10 months old, was the best friend I could have ever imagined. Smart, funny, loving, athletic, a peacemaker and always up for the next adventure, he was perfection to me. If there is such a thing as a "heart dog", Teddy was surely mine. Not long after we celebrated his 11th birthday he was diagnosed with advanced lymphoma and quietly said goodbye on June 26, 2023. He took a piece of my heart with him. I will forever be grateful for the decade I shared with Teddy and will miss the immense joy he brought to my life as long as I live.

Pictured at 2 years old. Rosita Belle AKA Rosie, was the sweetest most precious dog, beloved by her family and everyone who met her. Her favorite thing to do was walk or lay around outside! Rosita Belle was diagnosed with gastrointestinal lymphoma a few days after celebrating her fourth birthday in May of 2024. After her devastating diagnosis she was treated at Michigan State University and there recieved 8 rounds of chemo. Her battle with cancer ended in October of 2024. Her family loved her so very much and will forever be thankful to her for the companionship she provided.

Maddie, our first Golden Retriever and our heart dog, fought Mast Cell Tumor cancer since she was diagnosed in August of 2015 and her first tumor was removed. This photo was taken two months later and to me captures Maddie's spirit. Even though she had 4 surgeries in three years to remove tumors, in between she was a therapy dog who brought joy, love and comfort to patients and staff at our local hospital, and residents of memory care. She was happy, gentle, playful and a love. She passed away in 2022.

Wherever there was water, there was a happy Nala. With me for almost 14 years, my baby forever she’ll be, Nala was truly that once in a lifetime dog. Canine cancer reared its ugly head at us Christmas 2022, and took my baby April 2023. However, her life was much bigger than her diagnosis as it was just a blip in our final chapter. No matter where life took us, we always searched for the water: a soothing, calming element in which we found fun and joy. Even through her osteosarcoma diagnosis and palliative treatment, she smiled the whole time welcoming anyone she met with love and a sweet kiss. I miss those sweet kisses and that smile everyday, but she is ingrained in my heart and forever a part of my soul. Until we meet again, my sweet girl.

Luci 13 1/2 Luci was such a precious girl. Always full of life and living each day to the fullest. Although she lost her fight with hemangiosarcoma, her spirit lives on in the beauty of nature every day.

Ryder, 12, visits the Outer Banks for the first time. She was 9 months in to a year and a half long battle with terminal bladder cancer. No one would have ever noticed she was sick, she played like a puppy.

This is Bijou on December 9, 2021 at age 11. She was my best friend and constant companion for 13 years. Bijou was diagnosed with anal adenocarcinoma in July 2021, had surgery in August, and chemotherapy treatment starting in September. Her tumor was found on a routine veterinary exam fortunately very early before Bijou showed any signs of being sick. The bandana she has on in this photo says it all “Kicking Cancer’s Tail” as that is exactly what she did. Bijou continued to love life for an additional 15 months. I consider her my cancer warrior as she not only survived but thrived throughout her treatment and never showed any symptoms of having cancer. I am still amazed by her resilience and strength and miss her every day.

This is Boomer, pictured at 6 years old. He had a huge personality and loved life. He owned every room he entered and he made friends wherever he went. In March 2021, just one month shy of his 10th birthday, he lost his 4 month battle with Hemangiosarcoma. From our first hello to our last goodbye, he was happy, affectionate, inquisitive, and fearless. He gave us the gift of unconditional love, companionship, and trust. Though he’s no longer here, he continues to inspire us to be courageous in life and reminds us to appreciate the time we have with those we cherish. We fight canine cancer in Boomer’s memory.

Apollo, (now age 6 but pictured here at age 4), loves to run on the beach, jump in the waves, and try to catch his favorite ball. He lives life and loves his people to the fullest every day, and does not let metastatic hemangiosarcoma stop him from his best life.

Ainsley Jo Ford, Age 12. Ainsley lost her sister London to hemangiosarcoma in May ‘23. She was diagnosed with lymphoma on Sept 11, ‘24, the day before her golden birthday. She’s a brave girl, first facing life without her littermate, then facing her own cancer. Her best friend is a corgi named Tonks, she has been supporting her friend through her treatments.

Bren was 6 years old when diagnosed with lymphoma. This horrible cancer has taken 2 of our other dogs over the years but they were 12-13 and it was a no brainer to do chemo for Bren at so young an age. He breezed through it and is in remission. It's been almost a year since we discovered it and he's still cancer free. I know it will eventually rear its ugly head again but we are enjoying all of our time with him. He is my husband's best boy.

Kira Age 5, a remarkable spirit and angel in a dog suit, she was incredibly brave and fearless. Kira left us heartbroken after we lost her to HSA but her spirit endures in the lessons she taught us.

Sydney was only 3 when he was diagnosed with Lymphoma. We always say he wasn’t here for a long time, but he sure was here for a good time. Treatments bought us 9 extra months with him. Sydney loved anything outdoors. In the summer he loved diving into the lake and swimming after ducks. In the fall he loved to hike and run through all the piles of leaves. He would come out with leaves everywhere. This time, he had one stick on his tongue, so I snapped a picture. One week before he died, he took one final hike with us to Beauty Mountain in WV. He was still full of energy and adventure. He was a fierce protector but an even fiercer snuggler. We miss his energy and loyalty. We still talk about him and tell stories. My daughter, who is 3 and never knew him, knows him by name and pictures.

Lucy was just shy of her 12th birthday when her little body just couldn't fight the bladder cancer any longer. This photo was taken on our farm in South Carolina and captures her passion for hunting quail. She was just as happy running the fields in search of a bird as she was snuggled up on the couch next to us.

Nelson wasn’t even 10 when he passed from lymphoma. He was so very sweet.

Bentlee, 3, was diagnosed with lymphoma 2 weeks after his 3rd birthday. Throughout his battle, Bentlee’s sassy and charismatic personality continues to shine through. Bentlee is the most lovable dog and is an Emotional Support Animal for his mama! Bentlee has shown nothing but resilience throughout his life after having serious complications after being neutered and now fighting lymphoma. Bentlee spends his days getting endless belly rubs and cuddles from mom! Mommy loves you endlessly Bennie! ❤️ Celeste ❤️

"MAXIMILIAN THE DAPPER DOBIE" was adopted by me in 2019 (at approx 6-7yrs old). He had survived roundworm, tapeworm, hookworm, giardia, ear infections and a groin infection (due to an improper neuter, with 'rubber bands' !). When I adopted him he was healed up. He was well-trained & was to become a service dog, but was disqualified due to his fear of elevators. "MAX" was always obedient & very comical. In 2022 I noticed skin lesions (which I thought were allergy related), but sadly it was Cancer. We fought valiantly for 2 years, but he finally passed in March 2024 at home on his dog bed, me cradling his head saying "It's okay MAX......you can cross-over the Rainbow Bridge......we'll meet again" through my tears. I Will Never Forget Him

Ellie Mae 12.5 years old, Battling melanoma of the foot for a year now. She has not given up or let her tumor and foot defect affect her life. She has the most beautiful soul I’ve ever met. She still loves to swim and go to the beach. We have used water therapy to help keep her going. We’ve been through so much together and she has the bravest and most fighting spirit I know! She always finds pure joy in the most simplest things in life. She will make you know a love like none other. She is still fighting strong with more and more of her foot being taken over by her tumor. With the good and the bad days she always has a smile in her face and looks at you with love.

Remi is three years old in this picture. When she was almost five, she was diagnosed with cancer throughout her nervous system. She fought for nine months when she was given weeks by the vets. But more importantly, we will remember her for how fiercely she loved us and we loved her.

Maya Gray was 11 years old when she crossed the rainbow bridge from Hemangiosarcoma. This picture was taken at her10th birthday party. Always smiling and such a happy girl

Amadeus age 9 years. Amadeus has cancer and is now refusing to eat or drink, our worse fear is coming to life. This photo depicts just one of his beautiful days when his pure love and beauty is shinning through.

Brandi, age 11. Brandi is the typical crazy chihuahua who loves “her people” hard and will stop at nothing to protect them. She’s the leader of her pack (16 year old jack russell and 8 year old pomeranian) and was adopted when she was 10 weeks old. Brandi is always full of energy and happy— whether she’s playing with her millions of toys, chewing her bones, sunbathing or being a velcro pup. Out of no where one morning, she seemed to be low energy and not touching her breakfast— which isn’t too alarming, as she can be a picky eater sometimes. A day or two later, I discovered a lump on her elbow and immediately called her vet. Since it was not going away with medication, they wanted to remove it and send it for a biopsy. Brandi received her cancer diagnosis 6 days before Christmas of 2023. A month later, we were informed by the pet oncologist that it’s grade II soft tissue sarcoma and due to the location of the lump, she has incomplete margins and that it is anticipated to return within a year. The picture above is seven months post-op, on her 11th birthday— that was extra sweet. And today, we’re two weeks away from her one year anniversary of her lump removal surgery. Today she is just as crazy and happy as she was before her cancer diagnosis. She now visits her vet more often to check for any regrowths/new growths. And I now check frequently for any lumps on her and the rest of the pack. She’s a fighter. And we make the best of every day we have.

Ivory at 10 years old celebrating Christmas and her birthday which was on Christmas Eve. This was before her diagnosis of hemangiosarcoma which necessitated surgery and multiple rounds of chemo which then caused her to go into congestive heart failure and all of the associated difficulties.

Trigger was 13 years old when I found out he had a large cancerous mass in his abdomen. Due to his age I chose not to treat the cancer but to enjoy the time we had left together. Up to the very end Trigger continued to love chasing his frisbee, going for walks in the woods, and being my joyful constant companion. I miss him everyday.

Emmet is an 11 year old Irish Setter. He was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) in December 2022. He had his first surgery in January 2023 to remove two large masses, and then a second surgery in September 2023 to remove two more. Now, with very little liver remaining, we are watching more masses develop. Surgery is no longer an option, so we are trying chemotherapy drugs at home. Throughout this ordeal, Emmet has shown such courage, strength and resilience. His team of doctors are amazed at how he has “rolled with the punches” and kept his happy-go-lucky attitude throughout every obstacle. We will continue the fight against cancer as long as he is willing!

Stella 13

Lady Gray at age 10.

Jake was diagnosed with spleen hemangiosarcoma in 2018. He was later diagnosed with thyroid cancer and lymphoma. Through two surgeries to remove his spleen and thyroid and then numerous rounds of chemotherapy for the lymphoma, he was a cancer warrior for over six years. Using social media posts with his sunglasses poses, his family gave hope and support to other owners whose pets were undergoing cancer treatments. He passed away in October 2024 at 12.5 years of age surrounded by his family and oncology team.

Luna, crossed the Rainbow Bridge much too soon, at 8 years old. I found a lump that turned out to be soft tissue sarcoma. She was endured chemotherapy w no complaints, which gave us an extra year together. She was a rescue that had been abused that we got when she was 3. We only had 5 years together. Forever in your hearts.

This was Kelsey's favorite life activity, river time! She was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma at 10 years old when her spleen ruptured. She was given 6 months to live. She incredibly survived 52 months post diagnosis, and she lived a full happy life to the age of fourteen and a half. Every time we would go to the river, it would rejuvenate her soul. She was an inspiration to many. She never gave up and loved the water until the end. We helped many people navigate hemangiosarcoma diagnosis in a canine cancer Facebook group through offering her treatment regime and her results. We tried to give people hope!

Penelope lost her battle with splenic sarcoma in March of 2024 at the age of 7. Our brave girl didn’t want us to know she was sick, and didn’t show any signs until it was too late. Surgery to remove her spleen showed the cancer had spread throughout her organs, and she did not make it even two weeks after that. We miss our girl so incredibly much every single day.

Anubis R Reagan of Merokee, CGC. A purebred Vizsla, Nubi succumbed to Hemangiosarcoma at 9.5 years old. Pictured here at 4 years old. Loved more than life by Jodi & William May

Jill age 13 when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She fought of cancer 5 times but the 6th was the last. She was a therapy dog for 5 years and loved her job.

Boswell lived 15 wonderful years and crossed the rainbow bridge one month ago. He was a resilient rescue dog who was not slowed down after a hemimandiblectomy to remove cancer from his jaw at the age of 5. Boswell was playful and smart, and looked into your soul with wise eyes. Thanks to his wonderful medical team we enjoyed 10 amazing years with him after his cancer treatment. He is deeply loved and missed. Picture of Boswell at age 9

Applesauce, battled osteosarcoma and had her leg amputated 2.5 months after diagnosis. Also dealt with oral malignant melanoma at the same time. She lived her best life for 18 months after amputation. She never let it stop her. Her spirit and tenacity gave everyone joy.

Remi is almost 5 years old in this picture. She was diagnosed with cancer through her brain and spinal cord in February 2023. Not long after, her back legs became paralyzed. We didn’t let that stop us from going on walks, though! Even up until the very end, Remi loved getting out of the house and going on wagon rides throughout the neighborhood. She passed in October 2023 after the bravest fight and defying veterinarian expectations. We love you Remi.

This is Tootsie (age 15 in the picture, now deceased) at the beach in Outer Banks. Tootsie was a fighter, surviving four cancer diagnoses. She fought with grace and an admirable love of life until the very end.

Bentley lost his battle with B-Cell Lymphoma on 9/28/23, at the age of 8 years old. He will be forever missed.

Levi at age 7

Nothing made Leia happier than food. In this beautiful photo from 2022, Leia was waiting patiently for a crumb to fall or a pizza crust to be shared. We lost her in August 2024 at 10.5 years old to soft tissue sarcoma. Leia was diagnosed in the fall of 2023 but her cancer was aggressive. She was a sweet and loving rescue who loved attention. She almost never barked, so she was a neighborhood favorite. Leia was a proud big sister to her human baby brother Luca. We miss her every day.

This is a picture of my Willow. I lost her at 7 years old to lymphoma. She was terribly abused and brought to a veterinarians office at 6 months old to be euthanized by the previous owner because she was too hyper. The hospital was able to get the owner to surrender her. I had a friend who worked there and she had k own I had lost my other lab a few months prior. She asked me if I had wanted her and of course I accepted. She was the live of my life. My soul dog. My daughter.

Pictured is The Murphy at age 4, there is nothing he loved more than the sand and sun of Huntington Beach dog beach. He was diagnosed with anal sac adenocarcinoma at age 8 and lost his fight on March 14, 2019 at the age of 10 and he loved every single day he lived. When he wasn't warming his belly in the sunshine or squeaking his favorite carrot he was racing other dachshunds as his alter ego "El Diablo". The Murphy brought joy and happiness to everyone he met.

Monkey was 9 when she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right front leg. We had it amputated and began a course of chemotherapy. Monkey tolerated her illness like a champ, she passed away 8 months later. Monkey was my first dog ever & the first to be diagnosed with cancer. Her full sister, Maple was diagnosed with cardiac hemangiosarcoma 15 months later. We lost Maple a short 6 weeks later. Golden retrievers have a high rate of canine cancer, we have had 6 and 4 have died of cancer.

This is Bailey Brooke Niehaus- my soul mate, the glue that held me together, partner in crime, the best sister, protector, true warrior, thunder buddy, sleep squad leader, my best friend and our best girl. My husband and I got Bailey when we had only been dating for 3 months. She made us a family and changed our lives forever. She went through so much but no matter how scared she was or how bad she felt she worried about me. She was always there with the biggest smile and sloppy kiss. She understood me better than I do myself. When Bails was 6 she had an FCE and was paralyzed in her back legs and tail. After months of physical therapy she was able to walk on her own again. Then at 9 she had to have her spleen and andrenal gland removed due to suspected cancer- but once again our fighter won- it wasn’t cancer. We did rechecks every few months for years. Our family didn’t travel much because I hated leaving her and our son is autistic and struggled with strange environments. In 2021 we purchased a camper and my dream of taking Bailey traveling came true. Over the next 3 years she went as far north to Michigan, south to Florida, she camped in 12 states, she saw mountains, the ocean, and had so many wonderful adventures. Towards the end she got slower and had a hard time walking but we bought her a wagon (her “swagger wagon”) and she could not have been happier going everywhere with her family. Sadly in May of 2023 while camping for Mother’s Day, Bailey got a bloody nose. After tests and weeks of worry our nightmare came true- she was diagnosed with nasal cancer. We tried a low dose of chemo but with her age there wasn’t a lot we could do. We were able to keep her comfortable and she was a trooper living her best life down to the end. She passed one month before her 14th birthday. Birthdays were her favorite thing, if it was anyone’s birthday it was Baileys birthday. If she heard someone singing she knew it meant cake. So before we said goodbye, made her one last cake, sang happy birthday, snuggled and she perked up just enough to eat her favorite. She overcame so much in life and fought so hard to never leave my side. Losing her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through and it still hurts every single day. But I have so many photos, videos and memories to keep her alive in me. This picture is from her last summer on the beach in Hilton Head. She was so incredibly happy! We would love for you to feature her picture so her memory can live on and everyone can see that smile and feel her joy🩷

Cedar was my beautiful golden retriever. She was 9.5 was she diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma on her spleen. She underwent a splenectomy but succumbed to this dreaded disease less than 2 months later. Cedar was my fourth golden retriever diagnosed with cancer and my second having hemangiosarcoma.

Barnabus was rescued from a drug house on Christmas day of 2004. Knowing that he was a pitbull/mastiff mix, we were always extremely careful with him around people and other dogs. We worked with him constantly until he was able to go camping and quad riding with us. He developed cancer at around age seven, but it was operable and the surgery was successful. We were told that it could reoccur later in his pancreas. As he got older, we made a bucket list for him, which included traveling to Venice Beach, California, and back to my deceased parents farm in Ohio. He made both of these journeys. On the trip to the farm, I could tell that his health was failing, but he was a trouper, being strong and completing the trip as if he was not in pain. A week after we returned to Arizona, I made an appointment with the veterinarian. The night before the appointment, we took our last swim together, and although he could only complete one lap with my help, he gladly did so. Hours before his trip to the vet, he collapsed, and had to be rushed to an emergency clinic. They removed his spleen, gave him blood and plasma transfusions, but in the end cancer took his life. Barnabus was my best friend, my beloved, and my soul mate. Although I have other dogs now, who I love deeply, no one will ever replace Barnabus.

Bond, James Bond, aged 8 in picture. Bond was a blood donor at the local ER vet for five years before retiring in November 2023. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma in May of 2024 and made it a courageous five months before he left to guide more lives over the rainbow bridge. He saved countless lives through his blood and plasma donations and was the greatest companion.

Kimber was 11 when she was diagnosed with epitheliotropic lymphoma. Kimber was an old soul from the moment I met her as an 8-week old puppy. She had expressive eyes and a calm energy. Although she was ambivalent towards most people, she was fiercely devoted to me. She was gentle and kind, and she was her sweet, happy self right up to the day we lost her. Even in the throes of cancer she wouldn't see me distressed, and she left this world of her own accord exactly one month after she was diagnosed. I became a CORE Member in her honor.

Kona was a sweet, loving , snuggle bug, gentle giant. Kona was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September of 2022, he fought his battle but lost in November of 2022. Our sweet boy, it was the best two years with him!

Rizzo age 9

Zeke, my beloved deaf Boxer boy, who just turned seven years old, has faced multiple mast cell tumors throughout his life. His journey has been challenging and profoundly illuminating, deeply impacting our shared experiences. It all began when he was around two years old and he underwent his first surgery. Fortunately, all of his tumors were caught early and successfully treated through surgery alone. This experience underscored the importance of routine at-home checks, which involve simply feeling their bodies from head to toe and everywhere in between and taking swift action whenever anything suspicious is discovered. Early detection is crucial—it allows us to address issues before they escalate and require more aggressive treatments. My experience with canine cancer began with the heartbreaking loss of my Boxer, Gideon, who succumbed to lymphoma at just eight years old. Losing him was devastating, and it deepened my commitment to ensuring Zeke receives the best care possible. I have connected with others facing similar challenges by sharing our story within my Instagram community. These therapeutic interactions have served as important reminders to prioritize early cancer detection in dogs. The support and understanding I've received from this community have been invaluable, reinforcing the importance of our shared mission. I dedicate my advocacy efforts to honoring both Gideon and Zeke. By raising awareness and supporting fellow members of the canine cancer community, I hope to make a difference in the lives of dogs and their owners. Sincerely, Patty Ramirez, Zeke's mom. Our website, www.imzekesquad.com, was created for pup parents to request a free lumps and bumps reminder sticker/magnet. We also sell fun message-packed merch, and the proceeds are used to assist with Zeke's surgeries.

At age 13, after smaller health problems plagued this sweet boy and clean bloodwork results proving he was healthy enough for surgery, Taku had a mast cell tumor on his hip removed in early May of this year. In July, an ultrasound came back clean but a small lymph node was noticed on the same leg his tumor was on. Two weeks later we celebrated his birthday with a trip to the Oregon Coast. One week later, his cancer came back with vengeance and his doctor confirmed the news we didn’t want to hear. We spent the last week of his life doing all his favorites; a swim at the river, truck rides, the local brewery, etc. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his humans and his son Betton, two weeks after his 14th birthday in early August of 2024.

Chaco Belle Satterfield - 12.5 . I noticed heavy panting, pale gums and sudden loss of appetite. We removed her spleen thinking that would solve the problem. Chaco was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma 1 week later and lived for only 2 weeks after the diagnosis. She fought the fight and lived the best life. I wish everyday I could have saved her. She was our sunshine

This was Boomer celebrating his 8th birthday in February 2016. . He was a beautiful Siberian Husky. He was loved by Jason, Kristen s d Sage.

Haven is 9.5 and was diagnosed with T cell lymphoma. She has undergone 15 weeks of chemo treatments with ups and downs but is in remission so far.

Hunter Kallelis, Age 11. Crossed the rainbow bridge 10/19/24. Our family rescued Hunter after he was left abandoned in an apartment. He had no food or water for a few days until he was found. We took him in and at that time we estimate he was about 15 months. He had extreme separation issues for about a year. He loved swimming with my sons. His favorite toys were his lamby and his tennis ball launcher. He was the best “big brother” to our Boston Terrier Pumpkin Spice. He loved her from the day we brought her home. We thought we caught his cancer early when he had his toe removed but after a few months we discovered it had spread to his throat, liver and spleen. He fought so hard and is missed so much. He crossed the rainbow bridge 10/19/24 at the age of 11.

Roscoe - passed at age 9 from osteosarcoma. A rescue that saved my life. A mama’s boy until the end.

Tuck (right), age 4. Tuck went through chemo for lymphoma, and though he did succumb to it shortly after this photo was taken, you can see that he never lost his hilarious personality. He was a cut-up until the end.

Alley had just undergone thyroid removal surgery for 3 large masses on her parathyroid gland. It turns out she had Thyroid Carcinoma.. This was days before Thanksgiving 2023. Today her Xrays and CT Scan show clear. We're almost to the 1-Year mark and Alley is doing great! At 11 years-old, you'd think she's still a puppy!

Phoebe , 11 years young ! Phoebe continues to be brave and resilient after fighting her battle with cancer x2 . She is able to still fulfill her service dog duties for her BFF after all she has gone through . We find the background of this picture very fitting for Phoebe ! Semper Fi ( I could see this photo for November or another patriotic Month - as Phoebe is a member of a Military USMC family )

Atlas at his favorite spot, and where we would later scatter his ashes. Atlas unfortunately died of HSA in 2022, exactly two years after his sister Luna died of an HSA. He was my spirit animal who helped me get through losing Luna and whom has brought me inspiration in assisting and supporting my friends who are also dealing with canine cancers. He will always be my boy and my spirit animal.

This sweet 6 year old boys name is Diesel and this was his chemotherapy graduation in May 2023. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in January 2023 and underwent chemo, but unfortunately we lost him on 10/30/2023. I’m so lucky he was a part of my life and he’s missed every single day

Finnegan, a Pembroke Corgi mix, faught valiantly against Squamous Cell Carcinoma at the age of five. Despite the difficulty of his cancer journey, he always had a smile on his face and never missed an opportunity to snuggle.

Riley was 11 years old when we lost him to hemangiosarcoma. He was the most loving and gentle boy that never met a person or animal he didn’t like. 11 years went by fast but when it came to Riley, forever wouldn’t have been long enough.

This is Sky in her favorite lounge spot enjoying the fresh air, cool weather, and sounds of nature. We took her on a trip to see the mountains in Blue Ridge after she finished her chemotherapy. Sky was diagnosed with lymphoma in November of 2023 and underwent chemotherapy. Unfortunately Sky’s cancer returned, and she’s undergoing chemotherapy a second time. Sky always lights up the room with her smile, despite what she’s been through. Sky is an 8 year old rescue who had a rough start at life, but still has so much love to give. Sky’s never met a person she hasn’t liked and will gladly give you all the kisses in the world. We are so lucky to have her in our life, she is truly one of a kind.

Daisy Mae, a spirited 5-year-old golden retriever, was diagnosed with tongue cancer (fibrosarcoma) that required the complete removal of her tongue (a total glossectomy). Despite the challenges, Daisy's resilience never wavered—before or after surgery. Initially, there were concerns about her ability to eat and drink independently, but now, two years post-surgery, she enjoys life without any restrictions. This photo was captured by her dad, who happens to be both her veterinarian and a photographer.

This photo was taken in Tombstone, AZ. Schooner bravely fought adenocarcinoma for six years. She was such an inspiration to us all for her resilience, determination and kindness to all. Through her rounds of chemo, radiation and surgeries, she always had a positive and hopeful demeanor and treated every day like it was the best day ever.
