UPDATE: ******* HOME FOUND*****
UPDATE: We had an overwhelming number of responses to help Cherri! So much so that we are not able to respond to each one. We are confident that with the community's out pouring of help, we will find the right home for Cherri. We will update everyone when a home is found!
This sweet girl was recently surrendered to us at Allegheny North Veterinary Hospital under heartbreaking circumstances. Cherri’s elderly owners were struggling with her chronic skin issues and made the difficult decision to have their son bring her in to be euthanized. But Dr. Gaiser saw a spark in her — and refused.
Cherri is a 6-year-old spayed female Lhasa Apso with a gentle, calm temperament. She’s otherwise healthy, full of life, and still has so much love to give. She’s currently on two medications to manage her itchy skin, and we believe with proper care — including a dermatology workup and possibly a food trial — she can thrive.
Unfortunately, her temporary caregiver cannot keep her, as their dogs are not accepting of her presence. So now we’re hoping to find Cherri a second chance — a forever home with someone willing to provide the care she needs.
If you or someone you know might be interested in giving Cherri the love and support she deserves, please send us a message. Let’s help this sweet girl find her happily ever after. 🐶💕
