Peaches
Pledge
I had to out my best friend Peaches down Feb 8th 2025 after we found out she had cancer and that there was no treatment for her. It's broken my heart every day since finding out she had cancer in her lungs and putting her down has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I pray there comes a day when cancer in pets will not always mean a death sentence so no one else has to go through this. The heartbreak hurt so much I thought it would kill me, there has to be more options for future pets to survive such a traumatizing diagnosis.

Pledge
Almost 13 years ago I fell in love with this amazing pup who grew into the best running buddy and best friend a girl could have. We lost him last year to several different types of cancers ganging up on him. My heart is still broken but we know that the samples he willingly gave each year to MAF for the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study will help others to be able to love their furry friends longer.
