Kalispell hospice director adopts dog with advanced cancer
Kalispell hospice director adopts dog with advanced cancer
Nervous about the implications of taking on a sick dog after witnessing the pain and difficulty of her beloved Pepsi's final days, Justice agreed to make the drive to Thompson Falls to at least meet the dog.
She arrived to find a subdued little mutt with no training and no name, and fell in love in an instant.
"Meeting him sort of took away any fears that I had because he was just so cuddly and ready to be at home," Justice said.
After 20 years of working in hospice care, Justice said she felt called to adopt the dying dog.
"I felt like if I really believed that the last six months of life can be full of quality, then I should be able to do that for a dog," she said. "I felt really strongly that I could make a difference in his life for the last six months, that I could make him comfortable and I could keep him happy. That he would be loved on here."
Upon his adoption, the shelter offered to cover both the fee and any future medical bills for the remainder of the pup's short life.
Justice said the little dog kept his subdued demeanor until the moment his feet touched the floor of her house.
"He woke up," she said, "and he's been awake ever since."
She named her new companion Seeley, after the lake, and immediately began to take notice of how much life her dying friend had left in him.
