Pink Ribbon Pooches for Breast-Cancer Patients

With an eye and heart turned toward those diagnosed with – and in treatment for – breast cancer, the co-writer of this blog recently created a Facebook portal to assist patients who may need help with their dogs and also to share pertinent news, research, and info.

Pink Ribbon Pooches – found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PinkRibbonPooches – was created as a service for women diagnosed with breast cancer who have dogs, and particularly single women who have no family or other household members to help during this stressful time. The network's three primary goals are to help find temporary foster homes or a pet-sitter for dogs during surgeries and procedures as needed, to match rescued dogs with breast-cancer survivors who can benefit during the healing process by having a canine companion, and to assist in finding homes for dogs whose owners may not have survived.

On the page, you also will find the latest breast-cancer news of the day in addition to the mission to help breast-cancer patients with dogs.

Please check out the page and support with a “like”; don’t forget to share with your friends, family, and colleagues who may be fighting breast cancer or perhaps know someone who is. Many thanks!
