Daisy left us yesterday. She fought a diagnosis of cancer, which gave her only 9 months, for over 3 years. She never complained during that time, taking every day in stride. We never saw her as being sickly – she never showed us that. Daisy was not the in your face kind, pestering you for [...]
Last month, our beloved Syms made his way across the Rainbow Bridge. He was 21 years old, aka 100 human years, and we cherish our time we had with him. Syms had a big-dog personality that rivaled those of his canine brothers and made him king of the house and also the best snuggle-buddy ever. [...]
When our previous dog passed away, a friend suggested that we go and see a dog named Mr. Happy in the Rbari Shelter in Oakland. Despite a very difficult start in life, this dog had the sweetest disposition and was extremely affectionate and loving to everyone he met. I think it would be very safe [...]
Pet's Story Violet was 10 weeks old when I rescued her I knew from that moment she was going to be my best friend. What I didn't know was how much she was going to teach me, she taught me that not only is there true love but also unconditional love, patience and how to [...]
On January 28, 2014, our family went to Eleventh Hour Rescue in Rockaway, NJ. A pet adoption organization dedicated to saving the lives of innocent animals on death row. We saw the first dog, a beautiful German Sheperd mix. German Sheperds have always been my favorite dogs. But this dog wanted one thing, to get [...]
We were so fortunate to rescue Bailey and have him for over 15 of his 17 1/2 years. He loved cheese, his dads slippers, and chasing squirrels. He was loved by many and we will miss him so much.
Toby brought our family joy for 16 years! He loved chicken and green beans, pretzels, and drinking out of cups (especially when you weren't looking). He had a spunky trot and was already ready to snuggle on the couch. We will so miss him, and we we're so lucky to have him for so long.
Pet's Story Slick showed up in our yard over six years ago as a stray. He was covered with dirt and cobwebs and had ticks. He moved into our home and we loved him so much. He loved us, too, and was affectionate and friendly. He was the best cat ever. We'll miss him more [...]
Mallory was a rescue from a puppy mill. She came to us after we lost our precious Pomeranian, Callie and filled a void in our lives. She became my best friend, my furry daughter and my daily walking buddy. We will carry her love with us always.
I had the honor of adopting Winston in 2014. From the second I brought him home, I could not imagine my life without him. Now I have to live it. No disrespect to my other dogs, but Winston was special. I will never be able to replace him. Good-bye my baby. My prayer for you [...]
