Hachi Hospice
This little one was found in Stockton in the streets. She was having a difficult time breathing so we got her to the vet and it turns out she has a grade 5 heart murmur. She is now on several medications and we are hoping she will have great last days of her life. She actually had a chip and had been missing for a while her owner had rehomed her and the new owner to her Hachi had passed away.
11 years | 7 pounds | Female | Chihuahua\ mix | Spayed - Yes | Microchipped: yes | UTD on vaccines

Dogs needing hospice care
For dogs that arrive with untreatable terminal illnesses, Gunter's Legacy has a Hospice program. Hospice means taking a dog into your home and giving it palliative care, love, and a wonderful life until it is their time for euthanasia.
It can be a very rewarding experience for both the dog and the hospice family.
Gunter's covers palliative care costs for these dogs and offers support and guidance. Please read our Hospice Care Coverage document for details on what costs Gunter's Legacy covers.
Having hospice homes ready and waiting for new arrivals is tremendously helpful! When you decide you’re ready to be a hospice home, please complete our Hospice Adoption Questionnaire.
We’ll schedule a brief interview. When the right match comes along, we’ll let you know.
You can also our team for more information, or if you are interested in:
