Brendles story is one of heartbreak, hope, happiness and more heartbreak. At the age of 10, Brendle, a Border Collie mix, was surrendered by his owner to the Mercer County Animal Shelter in West Virginia on April 21st. A senior dog surrendered to a kill shelter is at high risk of not making it out alive. Dear old Brendle, who was frail and very underweight, deserved better than this. On April 23rd, RADAR provided an offer to assist with the vet costs for Brendle as an incentive for a rescue to take him. On April 30th, Paws for Seniors rescue in Virginia agreed to take Brendle! The rescues co-founder, Brenda, told us that, Very sweet Brendle has some impaired vision from cataracts and has hip problems. When he had his initial vetting done on May 2nd, x-rays were taken, but indicated no hip problems. Brendle was transported to his foster parents, Jennifer and Doug Gibson, on May 3rd. Jennifer had this to share with us about Brendle: He is a very special dog. I can’t explain it, but he so different than any dog I’ve met. He’s such a quiet old soul. I can’t put into words how wonderful he is. When I discovered that he was surrendered to the shelter on my birthday, it seemed like it was meant to be. On May 5th, after his foster parents discovered a tumor under his tongue, Brendle went back to the vet. The diagnosis was not good: most likely cancer. It also helps to explain why he is underweight and frail. Since surgery is not a viable option, Brendle will be provided with palliative care to keep him as comfortable as possible. He is on a diet of soft foods, and getting lots of TLC from Jennifer and Doug, who have graciously agreed to provide Brendle with hospice care.
