Meet Laken

Laken is a 10-year-old female dog in need of a rescue, foster, or adopter who can provide the medical care and support she urgently needs. She has a mammary mass that is concerning for possible cancer and requires surgical removal, along with further veterinary evaluation to determine the nature of the mass and whether additional treatment may be necessary. Laken needs someone willing to help her receive the surgery and follow-up care that could make a difference in her future. As a young dog, she deserves the opportunity to receive the medical attention she needs and the chance to enjoy a healthy, happy life. Please share Laken’s information to help us find a rescue, foster, or adopter who can step up for her and provide the care she needs. If you are interested in helping Laken, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov with your contact information so we can call you back.
