In Syracuse, New York, a dog named Jada had spent 9 hellish years in a crate in the basement of a home. She had become an emaciated dog with scars of torture all over her diseased skin by the time cops discovered her. The police also found Jada’s sickly puppy in the basement and rescued the pair from their miserable existence immediately.

Things did not appear to be getting better for Jada. The dog had only just mended from her injuries after the veterinarian discovered something alarming in her medical documents. The entire rescue crew was shocked to learn that Jada had a virulent form of cancer with metastasized (spread) to her lungs and was progressively killing her.

Jada received a cancer diagnosis at the worst possible time. However, veterinarian personnel and HumaneCNY shelter workers banded together to transform this terrible news into something meaningful. They developed an emotional bucket list for Jada and committed to assisting her in completing the remainder of her days by checking off the items on her treasured list.
