We want you to know that Bree was once part of a family. That she lived in a home, had her own bed, went for walks, rode in the car, all the things that a dog does when they are part of a family. She was clearly loved, but now at eight years old, she is no longer part of a family and she knows it. When she is out in the play yard, she watches every car that pulls in. She looks at every person who walks by, hoping maybe this time they’re here for her. But day after day, no one comes for her.

Bree has been at the shelter for far too long, and it’s starting to show. She’s receiving lots of love from staff and volunteers, but what she really needs is her own person again. Her own bed. Someone who will take her for walks and let her ride in the car. Her own family.

She is calm, loving, house-trained, and incredibly people-friendly. She does well with some dogs, prefers older kids, and would love a home where she can finally feel safe and be part of a family again.

We’re now including a 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞 with Bree’s adoption because we believe she’s worth every extra effort to help her find a home.

She hasn’t given up on finding her family. We’re hoping they’re reading this right now.

I have been typing and deleting the start of this post over and over. How do I tell you all that Meryl Streep has cancer? In fact, she has two different kinds of cancer. How do I say that Meryl is no longer looking for someone to adopt her and live happily ever after with, but that she is now looking for a hospice home?

You all know - we have happily taken on our fair share of medical cases, but this one is just different. We had a healthy goofy dog we have been actively trying to get adopted since February, and now we are coming to terms with the reality that Meryl isn’t going to get her chance at a forever in the way we wanted for her.

The light in all of this is that Meryl is completely unphased. Like 100% her blissfully happy, playful self, and we plan to do anything we can to help Meryl continue to have as many happy carefree days as she possibly can. We spent today at the specialist running tests and working up the best game plan for her. We are starting an oral chemo to try to slow down or “press pause” on the mass growth. Unfortunately we know that we will not beat her cancer, and truthfully we were promised only months left with Meryl.

We are looking for a fospice home for Meryl. Someone to simply love and spoil her rotten while we continue to pay all her expenses. We know this is not an easy ask. But please reach out if you think you may that home. We are also asking for monetary donations, as you can imagine her medical bills recently and upcoming chemo expenses will be daunting.

We wanted Meryl to find her people. But maybe we are those people. The whole Swampie family is her people. And it’s time to rally for Meryl Streep.

Swampie magic forever. ♥️
