RILEY
"Riley came
to me as a foster dog through Sheltie Rescue 9 years ago, at the age of
1. There were four prospective 'forever homes' lined up for her, but I
just couldn't let her go. She has been such a wonderful addition to my
gang." Diagnosed on June 14, 2006, Riley had chemotherapy and held a
remission from July 7th until November 23rd. Let's all hope for a nice
long second remission for this little girl!

POTSY
Matt Pierce found a
large tumor in the roof of Potsy's mouth in November 2005. The
diagnosis was melanoma. Matt wrote to the fund, "I love Potsy so much
and want to help him so much and it's killing me. If you can help me it
would be a miracle." January 2006, the tumor was debulked, followed by
6 weekly radiation treatments. Potsy had a second debulking suregery
and is recovering well "The Pots," says Matt, "loves being a dog!" |

CLOVIS
Clovis is a female
Great Dane/Lab mix who was diagnosed with multilobular osteosarcoma.
Clovis will most likely need radiation
therapy treatments, and when that time comes, her family will need
assistance. At present,
she is running 5-6 miles every day, and doing well. |

wonderful girl by her side. |
