TATUM's Story
INTRODUCING TATUM....a little creamy white, 14 lb, female, 6-7 yr old Maltipoo, who hailed from the East Valley Shelter. This little girl was dumped in the shelter by her humans when they couldnt afford to pay for her mammary tumor surgery. Likely, they used her for breeding and sold her puppies. They should have used some of that money to get her surgery! We got the biopsy results and even though our vet got good margins and is hopeful it has not metastasized, our little Tatum has Mammary Cancer and will be undergoing Chemo. We are doing further testing. While we dont know her life prognosis, were going to fight like hell for her! Shes still a young dog and has a lot of life in her!!!<br/><br/>Tatum is extremely sweet but a little head shy and timid at first. Our opinion is she hasnt gotten a lot of socialization (she seems to be very curious about other dogs and interested in meeting them). Her incision was extremely long, so she has been kept quiet while healing Suffice it to say, Tatum is happy and seems ready to go and play!! She is good on a walk and does her business sometime in motion! The one thing we have realized is she does not like being left behind or alone, so another dog or humans who are around a lot would be ideal. She will whine until you pay attention to her, so she is one who wants lots and lots of love. Also, a yard would be great to finalize her potty training!! In the car, she wants to drive or just be close to you. She will give you gentle kisses to know she appreciates you. She was great at the groomers and is a cuddler once she gets to know you. Respectful, older kids (8+) would be great. She will need a little time to acclimate and patience so that she can fully blossom. Is this a flower you could plant in your home! Shes waiting. **Tatum will be available for a foster or fospice, whichever the case may be. If you want to help this girl, let us know.
