Sask. woman with terminal cancer seeks new home for 3 dogs

For many people, pets are like family. One Regina woman is asking for help to make sure her furry friends will be going to a good home due to her ongoing battle with cancer.

Olive, Budda and Sysco are three dogs who make up a happy little family along with their owner, Susan Dickens.

However, due to a terminal diagnosis, Dickens is searching for a home that can eventually take care of her dogs.

“Well I have terminal cancer and I’m in heart failure. So my future is uncertain, I could be here for a year, more or less. Its up in the air if anything happens,” Dickens said.

“I need peace of mind just to know they’re going to a good place and they must stay together. I know it’s a tall ask but I love them that much.”

Throughout her health struggles – Sue’s mind is mainly occupied with ensuring her dogs are taken care of after she is gone.

“I deal with a lot but I deal with it well. I’m not complaining or looking for pity, it’s these guys I’m worried about. That’s it,” Dickens said.

“If I know they’re going to have a good place to go, I’d be overjoyed.”
