| My name is Sammie. I was turned into my Vet by my owners who wanted me put down. I don't know what I did wrong. I only had some allergies and they told the Vet that they were tired of fooling with me. I tried so hard to be a good lab. My Vet called the rescue and they have helped me so much. They put me in a loving foster home where she bent over backwards helping me with my allergies. I have gotten so big and healthy looking now. You would not believe me from the way I looked going into rescue that I was the same lab.
I love my foster Mom and she loves me as well. For the first time in my life, I am so happy in my home and playing with the other fosters in my home. We run and play and have the best time here. But my foster Mom took me to the Vet and she had this worried look on her face. I heard her tell the Vet that I had a small quarter size lump on my side. The Vet said they should take if off but before they scheduled the surgery it grew to a 50 cent piece. They took it off and sent it for a biopsy. I heard them say it was a Mast Cell Tumor Grade III. I know they got it all because they said it was a surface tumor with clean margins. My rescue lady knew a great oncologist that said he needed to do some follow up test and treatment to ensure it did not spread anywhere. He thinks he got it all for now. My foster Mom is really worried. Why did this happen now when I was happy for the first time in my life? The Vet said it was going to cost about $2,000.00 over the next 6 months to make sure it was contained and possibly gone for good. I hope some good people will come forward and help me get the money I need so I can stay with my foster Mom for awhile longer and maybe hook up with a real family to give me a great life in my own home. My foster Mom told me to think positive and never to give up on life. I am a fighter and I am going to try my best to make my Foster Mom proud of me. I know times are rough today but could you please help just a little so I can have the treatment I need? I really want to live awhile longer. I deserve some happiness, after all I am a good lab! I do love everybody and I hope everyone loves me too!

| We Urgently Need Foster Homes |
|---|
| We have a foster program that makes it very easy for you to help us save more labs. Because labs high-kill shelters may only 3-5 days to get adopted, we must pull them from the shelters quickly. Crates and vet expenses are covered by our group. You get to choose the lab you would like to foster and you have first choice in adopting him or her if you just can't bear to see them go! Many fosters though remain fosters because there is a real joy in knowing that you are actively saving lives. Most of our fosters say its a wonderful way to involve the whole family in a worthwhile service project. Please visit our Foster Page for more information. |
