We received a message to help a sweet, 8 year old golden retriever from a shelter that was very overcrowded.

Poppy was spayed there as well as she had a very large tumor on her left front leg which was removed with good margins. This was a low grade mass cell tumor. You can see how dirty she was in the photo when she arrived at the shelter where she was found as a stray. You can tell from her coat that she hadn't been fed a lot and it was probably a poor quality dog food. Her foster family will be working hard to get that coat into shape while she awaits her forever home.

Poppy is well now, in a foster home where she was found to be housebroken. She also gets along with all the dogs there very well. We do not know how she is with kitties.

If you are interested in fostering to adopt this sweet girl, please read "How To Adopt" and follow the direction from there.
