The ER vet did an expedited radiology consult last night which confirmed advanced cancerous masses in the lungs. She also had a seizure early last evening. We elected to give her supportive care during the night so she is not suffering and resting comfortably. She is at the end of her life and we are preparing to make a euthanasia decision.

Marissa is technically on stray hold with Broward Animal Care so Buddies does not have the legal right to authorize euthanasia. One of the wonderful supervisors there is supportive of everything we have done and is working with our vets and their documentation this morning to expedite in the best interest of Marissa. We are very sad but not every situation in rescue has the outcome we hoped for. Sometimes making the tough call is the kindest thing to do.


I just copied this from Bumper's FB page…
Marissa was sent to the bridge over an hour ago… when they first found her she was overheated and suffering from heat stroke. When they did further examination on her they discovered the cancer. I'm SO angry, and I'm sitting here crying :cry:SOMEBODY owned this baby, and probably bred her continuously… and they didn't care that she was sick or suffering?!! I just can't understand this… I had 3 bullies that I LOST in the last year, and somebody just threw her away. I don't even know how this rescue can handle this on a daily basis because it honestly makes me so damn angry :angry:

I saw that this morning. Breaks my heart. I just don't understand how people can treat animals the way they do.

I'm crying right along with you. Marissa is my daughters name. Spelled exactly the same way. How could someone be so heartless??? This picture breaks my heart. I really can't take it anymore. The cruelty is too much for my heart to take. Sometimes I think it would be better to remove myself from this stuff but I don't think that is the answer either. I give the rescues so much credit because for all the bullys they help, I'm sure there are just as many like Marissa that they have to deal with as well. How does one continue to encounter such inhumane behavior without just breaking down?? Sometimes it just feels so overwhelming...:girlcry:

I agree 100%… I get upset over the ones that I see, but how MANY more do they deal w/on a constant basis, day after day… we all KNOW how much care goes into taking care of bullies. I feel bad if I forget to wipe the folds down daily…

I totally agree with everyone, this is so hard to see, so sad and devastating. I will never understand how someone could do this to an innocent helpless animal, child, elderly, handicapped, anyone vulnerable really. Only a heartless monster can do this. I wonder why they call dogs animals. These people who do this are the animals.

Tracey, I was thinking of this little one earlier today after seeing her photo yesterday on FB. Hoping that she would recover from the heat stroke, never even thinking she had so many other serious health issues. It's very devastating news. That picture of her in the ice bath...i keep seeing it in my mind and makes me cry. She resembles Tate so much. May Marissa rest in peace now that she is no longer suffering.
