A Calgary boy who has terminal cancer is being forced to give up his two dogs.
Parker, who is dying from high-risk neuroblastoma, was given the two dogs by good samaritans.
Rudy and Cooper have been living with Parker and his mother for about a month in Calgary housing.
Parker’s mother says the dogs are a huge joy to her son, but Calgary Housing [ETA - subsidized/public housing] has a no-pet rule.
This means the family has to give up the two dogs or face losing their home.
They were given seven days to decide what they would do, and their time is up on Thursday.
Parker’s mother is hoping someone will consider taking both dogs into their homes as foster dogs.
All she asks is that Parker be allowed to take them to the park whenever possible.
Rudy is a 2-year-old Great Dane, and Cooper is a 6-month-old Hungarian Vizsla and Labrador cross.
Parker’s mother says both dogs are in perfect health, have papers and are house-trained.
