On 11 February 2024, we received a report of a dog in a resort in Zamboanguita. He has TVT in his eyes and also in his genitals. Our long-term followers will understand what TVT is. But for those of you who don't, it's a cancer that is passed on through bodily fluids. It looks horrific, but is highly treatable. We have had numerous cases before, ones that looked like the dog was too far gone, but with chemo, they completely recovered. Although it looked like his eyes were destroyed, we believed they were still intact as he has been navigating his area well. We were still a little worried about distemper at the Sanctuary but with recent 6 unavoidable puppy rescues the other day, we had no choice. After just one chemo treatment, the tumors shrank considerably, and after a few more sessions were completely gone. We couldn't rescue seamingly "hopeless" cases like Giles without the financial donations, large and small, that keep hope alive for dogs like Giles.
