Thanks to the rescuers and Vet Ranch, Hattie, a dog with a gigantic tumor on her side now has a brand-new life. Hattie had been surrendered to a Texas shelter for euthanasia by her heartless owners, who had let the tumor grow for 2 years without doing anything.
She came to the attention of Dallas Dog Rescue Rehab Reform who described Hattie as “may be the worst owner surrender we have taken in.”
Hattie was immediately taken to Vet Ranch’s Dr. Karri, who remarked that she had never seen such a large tumor before. Dallas Dog Rescue Rehab Reform likened the tumor to a bowling ball!
Dr. Karri noted how off balance Hattie was because of the tumor weighing her down. She also noted how Mattie would lay on it like it was a beanbag chair! Can you imagine?
Dr. Karri was both nervous and excited before Hattie’s surgery. After her surgery, Hattie is like a brand-new dog! The tumor, by the way, was 15 pounds!
Hattie experienced some obstacles throughout her recuperation, but she overcame them and entered foster care. And she went on to find a wonderful forever home thanks to her rescuers!
To think, Hattie was almost euthanized because of her previous owner’s neglect. But thankfully, her rescue has a happy ending!
