Experienced dog foster mother Elizabeth Starck picked up a 5-year-old French mastiff named Mae from the Southern Indiana Animal Rescue in late October 2019. Mae was terminally ill with cancer. That didn’t matter to Starck, who has provided a temporary home to hundreds of animals in need over the years.
Mae also suffers serious dental problems, including an underbite, and has lost much of her body mass to cancer. Starck knew what she had to do, though. “She just needs a permanent home, even if it’s just a week or two,” Starck told local news station WLKY. “She deserves to have a family, so I'll be it.”
