Charlotte is a 9-year-old Dachshund in Queen Creek, AZ, who needs $2,000 for laparoscopic vaginectomy.

Charlotte came to Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue as a stray in May. She was spotted on a busy street with a companion dog who had been hit by a car. She is currently in foster care with our rescue under the care of our veterinarian.

Charlotte is 9 years old and was severely neglected by her previous owner. She is overweight, had a bad cough, her coat was patchy and, to top it all off, she had vaginal polyps and a mammary mass.

Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non- profit, volunteer based rescue. Our mission is to save as many Doxies from euthanasia, abuse, or abandonment and place them in happy homes.

After the polyps and mass were removed, they were tested. The mass came back negative, but the polyps came back positive for cancer. Due to the delicate location of the cancer, our vet referred us to a laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Seth Bleakley, at Care Surgery Center. He will remove any remaining cancer tissue from the area.

Under the care of our vet, this sweet girl, has received meds for her cough, been spayed and had the polyps and mass removed. Charlotte has been following a healthy diet in foster care. She has lost a few pounds, can move around much better and her coat is already improving!
