Bo is a ten year old German Shepherd who came to the rescue from the animal shelter because they were going to euthanize him due to his age. He had a mass under his right eye and underwent surgery by his previous owners who did not pay to have the mass tested. When the tumor came back, he was surrendered to the rescue. He underwent surgery and this time a biopsy was sent.

Bo recovering from surgery. Sadly, his tumor proved to be malignant and given his age and prognosis, it was felt that supportive treatment would be best. He will be given the best care possible for as long as he has left to live.
