Noah

Noah was a five year old yellow lab that was found wandering East Vancouver in early May 2006 with no collar and barely able to walk. He weighed 173 pounds when rescued by the good people at the Vancouver Animal Shelter. I heard about him2 weeks later and offered to foster him and swim him for exercise and weight reduction. Noah weighed 166 pounds and was medicated for a thyroid condition.
He was a happy, quiet, well behaved dog who loved to swim! He got along beautifully with the other pets in the house and became best friends with my standard poodle Bear. Over the next few months Noah had increased his endurance and gradually lost all the weight dropping to a healthy 88 pounds.
Sadly, in early December 2008 Noah had emergency surgery on his spleen and the biopsy showed cancer. He underwent rounds of chemotherapy at the Mission Vet Hospital but sadly lost his battle with cancer some months later. Thanks to Kendall for giving this delightful boy a fantastic home in his final years.
