Remember Sobe? She was the pregnant Mastiff we pulled from PG Animal Shelter that had 13 puppies on March 13 (which wasn't very long after we pulled her).

Her puppies and her story were followed here and a few of her puppies were actually adopted by forumites.

Sobe was adopted in June to some great people that love her unconditionally, which isn't hard as Sobe has an awesome personality and lives to make her humans happy.

Sobe has been diagnosed with cancer. The exact type we don't know yet, as of yesterday they said that after a week of treatments they will know if the cancer is going to respond or if it's terminal.

Sobe is only about 2 years old and hasn't really had that easy of a life, at least not until she was rescued. From the 3 months in foster care to the not even 4 months in her new home, everyone has tried to give her a lifetime of love and care and now by a cruel twist of fate, her life may be cut short too short.

As everyone knows that has pets, vet bills rack up quite quickly and Sobe’s family has already spent over $1000 just trying to find out what was making her sick. The treatments are at least $150 each time.

Sobe and her family can use all the prayers and good wishes you can send, if you would like to make a monetary donation (which is tax deductible), you can make it through pay pal (katmc@secondhoperescue.org), just note that it is for Sobe, or if you send me a pm I will give you an address to send a check.

:bawl: I wish I could help.

How sad! :frown: She's a beautiful girl.

How sad...:frown:

:yeahthat:
I think that if I had a big dog, I would look into the pet health insurance. Big dogs seem to me to have more medical problems than small ones. I would love for my next dog to be a lab and I know going in they have a history of bad hips.

Curious...if they don't know the exact type of cancer, how are they treating her? Since I'm going through the cancer issue with Biscuit, I like to know what other types/treatments other people are dealing with.

Wow, what a sad story... :(

maybe, maybe, maybe this cancer will turn out to be treatable and Sobe will be ok. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

:yeahthat: So sorry Sobe, but she looks to be a big strong girl, hopefully this will be easy for her to beat. Prayers are with her and her family. :yay:

Unfortunately I'm not the one talking directly to them so am only getting this 2nd hand - I'll talk with her later probably next week. I agree, I'm curious as well.

I've done some research (last week) about pet insurance and many of them won't cover cancer or genetic issues. There is one that I found (but can't think of the name right off) that you can buy "riders" for cancer and genetics. We always recommend insurance - I'm a believer that if you can afford the monthly bill, it's well worth it.

There are foods and supplements that are very important in the treatment of cancer. I'd be happy to share the information I have with them.

Poor Sobe. I hope all turns out well. She is such a sweet girl!

Poor girl. :frown:

Int he second picture she looks like she is smiling - how sweet - tell her she is in our :love: prayers. God will take care of her - she deserves another chance.

Poor Sobe!!!! :cds: She is such a good girl! Thoughts out to her and her adopted family!!!!

Just wanted to add a :huggy: for Sobe and her "people."

I really hope the Vets can help her overcome this. Our prayers go out to Sobe and her family.

:bawl: Sobe was an awesome pup! RIP SOBE!!!!! I'm sorry you had such a tuff life! At least you had a family in the end and were loved by many in the between time!

She was an easy dog to love. It sounds like her easy going personality was passed on to all of her pups and I am glad they have all found great homes.

I was Sobe's foster mom while she was with her pups. There has never been a sweeter dog. even with the abuse she suffered before being rescued,she still LOVED everyone. RIP Sobe

Poor girl. She was entirely too young.

and YOU would know :huggy: She came to you all pregnant and from a checkered past and loved every moment of attention you and your family gave her! Most pregnant female dogs would have been reclusive and wary of being brought to a new place and people. Campinmutt, you did the BEST for her and her pups! It shows in her pups! :yahoo: I wish Sobe could have had a longer life, but at least she was loved in the end. RIP Sobe!

Poor girl. She was entirely too young.

:yeahthat: :bawl: It thoroughly sucks...she had finally found a great home, and she was so young. RIP Sobe and :huggy: to all who loved her.

So sad but atleast she knew REAL LOVE at the end and her life touched so many people (even those who didn't have the pleasure of meeting her IRL).

RIP girl. You earned your angel wings for sure!!

Poor Sobe. She was my neighbor and the sweetest girl. Her heart was filled with love! :bawl:

Im very sorry to hear about Sobe:bawl:
Ive been hoping for good things for her since the first post.

Debbie and I were the ones that adopted Sobe. I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Here are a couple of other pictures of Sobe on vacation with us. This is how I want her to be remembered.
