Katie came to rescue with blood in her urine and a whole lot of unknowns... and what we found could have broken her story before it even began.

She had a very rare bladder tumor.
And then she did the bravest thing of all - she beat it.

✨ The tumor was completely removed by specialty surgeons
✨ Pathology showed it was slow-growing
✨ She does NOT have aggressive bladder cancer
✨ She is now healed, happy, and living her best life

Katie also has a mild, early heart condition that’s beautifully managed with a simple daily medication - and she’s had zero fainting episodes since starting treatment.

Today, Katie is:
🐾 Urinating normally
🐾 Pain free
🐾 Playful, affectionate & loving
🐾 Ready for her forever home

She just needs:
• Daily heart meds
• A low-sodium dog food
• Routine vet care
• And someone who believes in second chances as much as she does

Katie isn’t a “medical dog.”
She is a miracle dog with a beautiful future
