Abandoned After Owner’s Death—Senior Husky Mix Left with Broken Heart and Agonizing Tumor

Skylar’s life was already shattered after losing her beloved owner, but now, she’s facing a fight for her life. A massive growth is threatening her well-being, and without surgery, her future is uncertain. This sweet senior needs help now more than ever!

Skylar, a 13-year-old senior Husky mix, was surrendered to Pioneers For Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) after her elderly mom passed away. With her home sold and her owner’s daughter unable to keep her, Skylar’s entire world was torn apart. PAWS stepped in, placing her in a foster home, but the transition has not been easy. Skylar is struggling with severe separation anxiety, lost in grief, and confusion.

As if her world wasn’t already flipped upside down, Skylar is now battling a massive, rapidly growing mass on her right hind leg that has become impossible to ignore. The growth is causing her significant discomfort, making it difficult for her to move around and enjoy her favorite activities like walking in the garden and sunbathing. The mass continues to grow, and surgery is urgently needed to remove it and perform a biopsy to determine if it’s cancerous. Skylar’s heart is pure gold, and she deserves the best, but her body is struggling under the weight of this painfully pressing medical issue.

She is a gentle, loving dog who enjoys being around the garden, naps in the sun, and watching old movies with her foster family. PAWS is committed to covering Skylar’s medical expenses, but they need help to provide the level of care she deserves. Medical bills for senior dogs like Skylar are not uncommon, but they are significant, and PAWS is reaching out for support to cover the costs.

Skylar needs your help to mend her broken heart and ease her pain. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward her surgery, biopsy, and recovery. She’s been through so much loss and change already, and now, she’s facing another battle with her health. Please consider donating to give Skylar the care she needs to live out her golden years in comfort and peace. If you can’t donate, sharing her story is just as impactful.

Thank you for standing by Skylar and helping her through this difficult time. We will continue to keep you updated on her journey!
