Original:
Yankee came into MAESSR’s care when relinquished by a family in Pennsylvania. Health issues among family members led them to seek another home for him.
This senior integrated well into his foster home, getting along nicely with another foster and the resident Springer. Yankee was pleasant to have around and was generally well mannered. His arthritis seemed to be really bothersome but more difficult issues were diagnosed when he went for his senior wellness exam. Testing confirmed both Cushing’s disease and cancer. With neither being curable and with pain apparent, the decision was made to send Yankee to the Rainbow Bridge.
His foster family spoiled him rotten for every bit of the short time he was with them. Please keep them in your thoughts for they loved their MAESSR boy.
