Unwanted Dog Beats Cancer And Gets Her Loving Forever Home

Sid is a dog that the Sidewalk crew in De Doorns, Netherlands, encountered on one of their outreach excursions.

De Doorns, South Africa is home to Sidewalk, a canine rescue and bulk sterilization unit. Providing low- or no-cost veterinary care and sterilization for pets is one way that the group helps those animals in need. In addition, they provide no-cost treatment for dogs diagnosed with Transmissible Venereal Tumors (TVT).

The dog developed cancer, and Sid’s family wanted to have her put down. Her results for TVT were positive.

Sidewalk is useful in dealing with this particular form of cancer. With the goal of curing her, they took Sid in and generously paid for her chemotherapy treatments.

Sidewalk offered to foot the bill for her medical care, but it was as if her biological family no longer wanted her. It breaks your heart to think they might have given up on the ailing canine.

The total number of chemotherapy treatments Sid received was 12. She persevered through rigorous treatment and won.

It appears that Sid’s cancer treatment has been successful.

She has also been granted another huge boon: the discovery of a permanent residence.
