Brandy, 7-year-old spayed female 

Rhodesian Ridgeback/Boerboel mix 

Brandy was surrendered by her owner due to conflicts with another dog in the household.  Although we know she had a conflict, she has interacted well with several dogs since arriving at TIRR Rescue.  She does gain some tranquility when another strong lead dog is around.  Her best friend is a dog much younger and larger.  I would say she is almost dependent upon this dog for support.  This tells me that she is capable of building a quick & solid bond with any dog that does not try to dominate or intimidate her.  We have found that Brandy is a little nervous and thrives on having her human close at hand.  She is definitely looking for a family that needs a dog; she is definitely a dog looking for a family.   

When she arrived, she had a growth on her hip area that we had checked at her first vet visit.  It was determined that it was likely a mast cell tumor and needed to be removed.  This week the surgery was done, and we are hoping for a positive pathologist report.  

The surgery itself cost $3000. with possible followup costs to come. If you or anyone you know would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. We thank our TIRR community in advance. We cannot do this life saving work without your generosity.
