After being rejected from several facilities throughout Arizona, Maggi transported the dogs back to Deland, FL. With the help of The University of Florida’s School of Veterinary Medicine, both dogs were diagnosed with TV, Transmissible Venereal Tumors, a rare form of cancer. The dogs then received chemotherapy and other surgeries to solve their complex medical issues.
Maggi Hall and ARK Finds Foster Homes for Animals in Need
According to Maggi, “Fostering a dog is one of the best things you can do for a dog in need. Dogs who have endured a difficult past such as abuse, cruelty, neglect, under socialization, benefit greatly from this process. As a foster, you have the chance and opportunity to gain a dog’s trust, show them human touch and love perhaps for the first time, provide an environment for them to feel safe, and watch them transform before your eyes.”
ARK was able to place both Arizona dogs in happy foster homes in Deland, FL. They were able to adjust to family life and feel safe. The dogs, now known as Addie and Friskie currently live with Maggi and her husband Ron in Deland, FL. They are both friendly, healthy animals who are thriving in their forever home.
