Woman Adopts Dying Dog To Make His Final Days As Happy As Possible
There’s no Make-A-Wish Foundation for dogs, but if there were, Nicole Elliot could be its CEO. The Columbus, Georgia resident recently adopted Chester, a cancer-ridden dog, from Animal Ark Rescue. When Eliot saw “hospice needed” posted by a charity, she decided to take the dog in to make his last days as happy as possible.
“I am trying to give him normal doggy experiences that he may have never had the chance to do before, and a ton of spoiling,” she told WTVM. “So far he took a ride with the windows down, he had a famous Nathans hot dog, he had a doggie sundae, he had a milk and oatmeal bath (spa day), he went on a shopping spree where he got a cozy bed, bandannas, lots of treats, and toys.”
More info: animalarkrescue.com | Facebook | Instagram (h/t: wtvm)
Chester was found in a shelter where he was dying from cancer
Nicole Elliot couldn’t bear the thought of him dying alone – she “fell in love the moment [she] saw him”
“I had to consider it for a while and decide if I could handle it. I decided it would be an amazing experience to take on”
“I knew that it would be my responsibility to make his final days the best I could, to mine and his ability”
“As you can see his favorite spot is on the center console. I think he feels like a king up there”
“I am trying to give him normal doggy experiences that he may have never had the chance to do before, and a ton of spoiling”
“He doesn’t seem to be in much pain, but he is slow due to his age”
“Out of all of that his favorite part has been any of the food and treats – he still has a HUGE appetite”
“He likes his hair blowing in the wind, but his legs aren’t stable enough to stand and put his head out the window”
“He had surgery to remove some tumors. Soon after more tumors started showing up on his body. Today he has many cancerous lumps all over his body”
“He is also heart worm positive. He is still so sweet and as perky as he could be”
Nicole’s daughter Paisley also tries to make Chester’s days as joyful as possible
“So far he took a ride with the windows down, he had a famous Nathans hot dog, he had a doggie sundae, he had a milk and oatmeal bath (spa day), he went on a shopping spree where he got a cozy bed, bandannas, lots of treats, and toys”
“It will be so tough to lose him shortly, so I decided to take the time he has left (which is undetermined, but not guessed to be very long,) and make it as happy as I can”

I actually think, all things considered, he looks pretty happy in most of these pix. It's also great that he still has an appetite. I hope Nicole will be sensitive— when his time comes—and not let him suffer. What she's doing is lovely!

I think it is a wonderful thing to do and the love he will give you in return will outweigh anything else. How do I know. One day an elderly grey hound walked up to my car as I got home. It was dark and it scared the begeebees out of me at the time. It was tatooed as an ex racing dog but despite many attempts we could not track its last owner. After having it vet checked we found it too had cancer. They offered to put her down. We kept her for the next nine months and gave her probably the best doggie days she had ever spent. On that final trip back to the vet she looked at us with such love and understanding as if to say thankyou. She also knew it was time so that she wouldn't suffer. On that day her legs collapsed completely and we knew it was time. Hard yes but also so rewarding that we had given her some doggie happiness. These special animals like special children are sent to us for a reason. The compassion I have had for animals since has been tremendus. Love her while you can.

It doesn't get any better than this (except for complete remission), and souls come no greater than Nicole's... This is how each of us - and each precious companion animal - should spend our final days... surrounded by compassion and love! My dear friend Rachel Brockway Mairose has initiated a 'hospice-foster" program under the auspices of her rescue, Secondhand Hounds - and places terminal companions in loving homes and arms, rather than let them pass alone, unwanted, and unloved... abandoned and destined for euthanasia in shelters, by those very same families who promised them "forever"... Sweet little Chester will depart this world filled with the knowledge that he was loved and cherished... which is the birthright of EVERY companion animal!
UrsulaLeach 9 years ago
I am not sure I could do it cause I know how painful it is to lose a pet. For a while I considered not having any but no matter how sad it gets we can give them a good life and better with me than anyone else I don't know about. My mama dog is now 10 years old a black lab and I have 2 of her children part shepherd and one of her grand children. I know when mama goes (the best dog I ever had) she will live on in them.

This is how each of us - and each precious companion animal - should spend our final days... surrounded by compassion and love! My dear friend Rachel Brockway Mairose has initiated a 'hospice-foster" program under the auspices of her rescue, Secondhand Hounds - and places terminal companions in loving homes and arms, rather than let them pass alone, unwanted, and unloved... abandoned and destined for euthanasia in shelters, by those very same families who promised them "forever"... Sweet little Chester will depart this world filled with the knowledge that he was loved and cherished... which is the birthright of EVERY companion animal!

I am not sure I could do it cause I know how painful it is to lose a pet. For a while I considered not having any but no matter how sad it gets we can give them a good life and better with me than anyone else I don't know about. My mama dog is now 10 years old a black lab and I have 2 of her children part shepherd and one of her grand children. I know when mama goes (the best dog I ever had) she will live on in them.

What a great thing to do! We need more Nicole's! It would be great if we had hospice care for pets, just like we do for people. Thanks to Nicole!

Overwhelming for the dog no doubt. Seems to be all about the human. The dog doesn't want surgery, haircuts, toys & treats - the human wants it. Way over the top.
