Sidney

My story

COURTESY POST...SIDNEY IS BEING FOSTERED THROUGH THE SOUTH LOS ANGELES SHELTER. This happy, 8-year-old girl escaped death at South LA Shelter thanks to an amazing volunteer that could not imagine her life ending like that. She was alerted to the bumps and lumps she has all over her body, but there was very little information as to whether cancer had actually spread throughout her body. The volunteer took Sidney home as a medical foster and has spent these past few weeks getting her fully evaluated by an oncologist. Sidney has cancerous lumps, but it has not spread to any other part of her body. She is not a good candidate for surgery to have the lumps removed because of their size. That being said, the oncologist recommended getting her started on medication that can help to shrink the lumps and hopefully extend her life. The volunteer has generously offered to FULLY SPONSOR the medication to ensure Sidney can live a great life for whatever time she has left on this Earth. The cancer will eventually spread, but it is unknown how long it will be until that happens. For now though, the vet agrees, Sidney is a happy, lively girl who is currently unaffected by her cancerous lumps! Sadly, the volunteer cannot keep Sidney so we are looking for a plan for this girl so she doesn’t have to return to the shelter. Sidney has been living in an apartment with a large dog brother. She’s good with big and little dogs. The volunteer says she is potty trained, well-behaved when left alone, and enjoys short walks and naps throughout the day. Sidney has a medical sponsor but is in need of a new FOSTER or an ADOPTER who can commit to giving her a wonderful life for whatever time she has left. Can you help this sweet girl?
