Joyanna was this terminal cancer dog for whom we were looking for a family to allow her to live out her last days in a loving home. She sadly left knowing she was loved, the Wake County, North Carolina SPCA posted on Facebook.
At the end of December 2021, the shelter launched a social media call for Joanna. Volunteers knew she didn’t have long to live due to a large breast tumor that had metastasized to her lungs. She needed a home where she felt «supported, pampered and safe».
A 10-year-old dog was taken to a shelter after being abandoned by her former owners. She suffered from the negligence of the latter, who constantly kept her on the street.
2 days after the release of the Wake County SPCA report, the association announced great news, namely that Joanna had been adopted by Adrianna, a veterinary assistant. She just lost her dog Lemon Pancake, who also died of cancer.
“We knew this day would come sooner rather than later, but that doesn’t make it any easier,” the association said, announcing the dog’s death. We want to say thank you. Thanks to all of you, Joanna has just had the best days of her life.»
In this way, she was able to meet wonderful people, taste her first dog cappuccino, play, dig holes and sleep in a comfortable and warm basket.
«She passed away as a beloved member of a family where we know she felt safe and loved,» the post continued.
The association wanted to especially thank Adrianna for the love she gave to Joanna until the very end. «It was truly the greatest gift Joy could have received»
