Megan's Story

Megan is a 💛Golden Years Adoption💛. With a Golden Years Adoption, our goal is to find Megan a loving home that can continue to provide her with the care, comfort, and attention she deserves in her golden years! Megan is currently comfortable and enjoying life, but she does have ongoing senior medical needs, including degenerative joint disease requiring daily long-term pain medication and a large abdominal mass that is being monitored. She is being considered palliative at this time, and her new family will need to be prepared to monitor her comfort, mobility, appetite, and overall quality of life. She is being made available with a $0 adoption fee so that we can help her find a loving home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by the people who adore her.<br/><br/>HOW DID MEGAN GET HERE?<br/>Megan came to us through another organization and is now looking for a soft place to land for her golden years!<br/><br/>PERSONALITY:<br/>- A gentle senior lady who enjoys taking life at her own pace and prefers calm, low-key outings.<br/>- Sniffing is her favourite hobby!
