URGENT NEED

Located In Floyd, VA but transportation can be arranged

Meet Maya (12-year-old female TT who is deaf) and her bonded buddy Finnegan (9-year-old male Tibetan Spaniel).

Their Mom is at the end of her life and is has entered hospice care. Her dying wish is that a safe and loving home be secured for her beloved dogs. Her wish (as well as her fear) is for them to be placed together. She begs that they are not split apart. Please help me give this lovely woman peace of mind. It was a very sudden illness, and she is only 70 years old.

The dogs' current caretakers report that these two are lovely dogs who have been at their human's bedside constantly since the illness began.

The are housebroken .

We will keep this short and sweet because we really, really would love you to see the two fascinating pieces that 60 minutes did Sunday night on dog health, genetics, and research. Also a few good articles for the health nerds, and those we would love to become health nerds. Please, let us know what you think! The segments are second and third, called “Survival of the Friendliest” and “Comparative Oncology.”
