Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This sweet little Yorkie girl is Callie. She is about 12 years old and only 6.5 pounds. Callie is being fostered in Bradenton, FL. Dogs being fostered in Florida need to be adopted within the state of Florida
Updated Bio 9/13/21 Callie is a sweet, petite, 6.5 pound little darling. Now that she had her surgery and that awful tumor is gone she has become such a good natured, social girl. She will follow her foster mom and dad all around the house. She will take any opportunity to crawl into her peoples' laps or sit at their feet. She seems to be house trained, which is pretty nice. Callie does need a little help with leash walking, otherwise this cutie is just about perfect, well behaved, loving, and just a little princess.
Two weeks ago Callie's vet removed a very large mammary tumor. After the surgery the mass was sent off for a biopsy. The pathology showed that there was early stage cancer in the mass. However, the vet believes he got it all and the margins were clear. When the sutures were removed the vet noticed a light green tattoo on her belly. That indicated that it was more than likely Callie was spayed. It seems that even spayed dogs can get mammary tumors. Sadly for Callie that tumor wasn't removed before that mass grew to such a large size. Had it been removed early it probably never would have generated cancer cells. Thankfully, it was early stage cancer and unlikely to have spread. We know her lungs showed no sign of cancer. Callie's foster parents were told that it would be a good idea to check Callie for any new tumors when she goes for her annual veterinary appointments. He didn't see any reasons for being concerned now. Although Callie was more than likely spayed and the cancer was only in the removed mass, he suggested that Callie's mammaries be watched for any sign of growth. Callie may be one of those pups who is prone to mammary tumors. These turmos aren't fatal if they are caught early and removed.
Callie is ready to find her forever family. Don't let her age scare you away. This senior baby has so much love and life left in her. She will make someone a wonderful companion and cuddle bug. Callie would prefer an adult only home. A home with someone who is home often so that she can get the love and attention she enjoys. If you are lucky enough to adopt this girl, you won't regret it for a minute. Every bit of love you give Callie she will give back to you10 times over. Callie is looking for her forever home. Will it be yours?
