2 dogs battling cancer at Orange County shelter need forever homes
Two dogs, both battling cancer, are in need of forever homes as shelter life is not how they should spend their days. Orange County Animal Services put out a plea to the community to help the dogs as the canines battle cancer. Mazi returned to the Orange County shelter on March 9, marking his eighth visit since 2016. Due to his lack of interest in dogs at the shelter, the staff recommended he be in a home without other dogs or a home with calm dogs. He will likely need chemotherapy treatment, shelter staff said.
