Jessie was a stray who ended up in a local animal control facility.  She remained at the shelter for over a month and nobody came to claim her or adopt her, so the shelter staff called us to see if we could help.  When Jessie came into our care she was badly matted, her teeth were in desperate need of cleaning and she was urinating constantly; her urine was stained with blood.  She was taken to the vet immediately and X-rays showed that her bladder was filled with stones.  The vet was also worried about a shadow that appeared on her intestines in the X-ray as he thought it might be a tumor.  After being treated with antibiotics for a few days, Jessie underwent surgery to remove her bladder stones and clean her teeth.  Thankfully, the "shadow" on her intestines wasn't a tumor after all. Jessie spent several weeks in a loving foster home while she recovered from her surgery, then she was adopted by a wonderful family in Richmond. Jessie's mom is an artist who works from home and there is a couch right beside her easel that is specially reserved for Jessie! 

***An update from Jessie's family:

"Jessie is a little doll, we love her very much.  It is as if she has always been a member of the family. We really cannot say enough good things about her. We are very grateful to Furever After for bringing us together, a really great match. Thank you to you and everyone who works with your organization."

Special thanks to Healthy Hearts Pet Products and Cocker Spaniel Rescue of BC for sponsoring Jessie and assisting with her medical costs.
