Finding Hope: How VSS Gave My Greyhound a Second Chance

From the moment I met Rusty, he became an irreplaceable part of my life. Always by my side, he brought comfort and companionship, a constant presence in our home. Our days were filled with long walks on the beach, where he could run freely and enjoy the simple joys of life.

Then, everything changed. My partner Sam noticed a small lump on Rusty’s ribs, and within a week, we were facing the terrifying reality that it could be osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma. The fear of losing him was overwhelming.

That’s when we turned to Veterinary Specialist Services (VSS), where we met Dr. Gemma, who carefully explained our options and gave us hope when we needed it most. Walking into that consultation, we expected the worst, but instead, we found a path forward.

Thanks to the expert care and dedication of the VSS team, Rusty underwent treatment and made an incredible recovery. In just two weeks, he went from barely moving to running, playing, and even sneaking onto the couch when he wasn’t supposed to. Every time we bring him back for check-ups, he’s welcomed like a hero—loved, celebrated, and cared for.
