This weekend we acknowledge Canine Lymphoma Awareness, and we wanted to take a moment to share a few reminders about keeping your pups healthy.

While we aren’t a veterinary resource, we always encourage you to reach out to your veterinarian with any questions or concerns. You may remember our sweet friend, Norm. He was an incredible pup who spent his days at our center making volunteers and staff laugh and smile (and occasionally share a good-natured groan with his signature hound-dog howling!). While waiting for his forever home, Norm’s lymphoma was discovered during a routine veterinary check-in. He was welcomed into a loving fospice home, where he spent his remaining time comfortable and surrounded by care. Norm’s story is a reminder of the importance of regular veterinary visits and staying attentive to changes in your pet’s health. Early detection can make a difference. We are forever grateful to our veterinary partners, Norm’s fospice family, and the volunteers and staff who made sure he knew just how loved he was.
