My Name is: Midas, 9 years old
My Story: Nine year old Midas arrived at small shelter as a stray and very dirty, but neither
could hide his cheerful, kind and gentle personality. His back legs were stiff and he had a tennis
ball lump on his side. Once with us, he had a much needed bath right away. Next, our vet found
the lump was a benign fatty one, not unusual for a senior Lab, and meds were prescribed for his
arthritis. Of greater concern was an abdominal mass confirmed by an ultrasound to be a large
tumor on his spleen. After an hour long surgery, a five pound mass was removed! Midas has
been an exemplary patient, resting and charming his most attentive and caring foster mom.
