Unleashing the Beauty: A Rescued Dog Defies the Odds with an Untreatable Tumor on Her Face

Dog has massive, untreatable face tumor, but rescuers still see her beauty

Serenity might not fit the typical image of a dog, but don’t let her looks fool you. Despite her unique appearance, she has the heart and enthusiasm of a young and lively pup. She’s not bothered by what others may think of her because she’s content and grateful to finally be receiving the affection she’s been longing for. Originally a stray in San Antonio, Texas, this 4-year-old Siberian husky had a large tumor on her face that made it difficult for her to find a loving home. Fortunately, Dallas Dog Rescue Rehab Reform stepped in and transported her to Dallas, Texas, giving her a new lease on life and a chance to find happiness.

Introducing Serenity! Upon meeting Serenity, Patti Dawson, her foster mom, immediately noticed the puppy’s cheerful disposition. Serenity eagerly approached for some kisses and pets, spreading joy wherever she went. However, Dawson is unsure about how much time Serenity has left in this world. The vet’s diagnosis revealed that a malignant tumor has spread throughout Serenity’s facial bones, infiltrating her nasal cavity, eye sockets, and skull. Despite the tumor’s aggressive nature, Serenity can still see, breathe, and eat without difficulty. While some may worry about Serenity experiencing pain, Dawson reassures that the puppy has not shown any signs of discomfort thus far. Nonetheless, Dawson understands that this could change in the future.

“Dawson acknowledged that the news we received wasn’t what we had hoped for, but it won’t change our love and commitment to Serenity. That’s why Ms. Dawson made a decision to ensure that Serenity’s remaining time was filled with joy and special moments. She showered Serenity with delicious treats, fun playtimes, and even arranged for professional photoshoots to help raise funds for her care.”

Embracing the best moments in life Renee Dowhaniuk, an animal photographer, captured stunning images of a charming puppy named Serenity. After the shelter shared the photos online, Serenity instantly gained popularity and captured the hearts of many. People were captivated by Serenity’s story and were eager to lend a helping hand. Dowhaniuk emphasized her belief in portraying animals in a positive light, aiming to showcase their full potential and capture their true spirit. Recalling the moment when they rescued Serenity from Patti’s vehicle, Dowhaniuk described how the puppy’s nose started sniffing around and her tail began to wag with excitement.

Pretty soon, an abundance of donations began flooding in for Serenity. The shelter was inundated with more than 300 packages filled with gifts for the lucky pup. Each time a new package arrives, Serenity’s tail wags with joy. She is truly living her best life and is well and truly spoiled, just as she deserves. Dawson shared that when the time comes for Serenity to bid her farewell, she will do so with a heavy heart. But for now, the precious pup will continue to thrive in the loving care of her foster family. If you are interested in making a donation to support Serenity or any other dog in need at the shelter, be sure to take a look at their wish list.
