· Diagnosed with pancreatitis, looking for a hospice home

Esmeralda is a sweet, friendly senior girl with plenty to say and lots of love to share. After being found in rough shape, she has spent a couple months receiving care and is finally ready to enjoy the comforts of a home. She's a chatty companion who would love nothing more than a cozy couch and someone to share it with.

During her stay with us, Esmeralda was diagnosed with acute and chronic pancreatitis. She's currently receiving B12 injections and eating a gastrointestinal diet, and so far, she's gained weight and seems comfortable and happy. While she's doing well right now, her condition is incurable, and it's unknown how long she'll continue to respond to her current treatment. Because of this, Esmeralda is being adopted as a hospice patient, and her condition will likely limit her lifespan.

Her adopter should plan to establish care with a veterinary clinic of their choosing so she can continue receiving treatment and have her health monitored. When her quality of life declines, HSJC will provide euthanasia services at the shelter at no cost to her adopter, pending the availability of veterinary staff.

Esmeralda has made it through a lot, and right now she's feeling good and ready to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. If you have a comfortable spot on the couch and room for a sweet, chatty companion, she'd love to spend her time there with you.

As a hospice pet, Esmeralda's adoption fee has been waived!
