About Milkshake

Meet Milkshake. At 10 years old, she's encountered more challenges than many dogs face in a lifetime. When she arrived at Satchel's Last Resort, Milkshake had several significant mammary tumors, poor dental health, and a cherry eye. This could have been avoided with preventative care early in life. Yet, despite all that she's endured, Milkshake remains sweet, gentle, and trusting. Thanks to the veterinary team, her tumors were successfully removed, her cherry eye repaired, and she was spayed. However, one of the tumors was found to be cancerous. Recently, Milkshake returned for a follow-up after developing a cough post-surgery. Sadly, further tests revealed a collapsing trachea and signs that her cancer has progressed to her lungs. We can’t predict how much time she has left—it could be months or longer. What we do know is that she deserves more than a kennel for whatever time she has. Milkshake is a loving Chihuahua who enjoys soft beds and the company of her people. She seeks little—a warm lap, a cozy home, and someone to shower her with love during this chapter. Opening your heart to a senior dog isn't easy, but it’s one of the greatest gifts you can provide. Milkshake has borne burdens far too heavy for her. We hope her remaining days are filled with comfort, kindness, and the love of a family. If you've ever thought about fostering or adopting a senior dog in need, Milkshake is ready to meet you.
