Gladys
I wanted to tell you that we lost our girl Gladys yesterday....She had a rough last month and we had finally decided it was time to put her to sleep....But the great girl that she was didn't want to burden us with that decision so she just passed away in her sleep.....She was a great dog and we will miss her.....

Lovely
12/25/2009 to 4/15/2010 Lovely was born to a rural family who owns three un-neutered males and two un-spayed females all of whom were chained outside in South Carolina. Lovely was one of ten in the litter, but do to lack of care for the parents, pups and horrid living conditions six of her littermates died before any help came. When help did come Lovely, her two sisters and one brother were transported north to PA. Lovely, Mary Anne and Gilligan all seemed in good spirits, while Ginger was questionable. It was an uphill battle as all suffered from demodex, severe roundworm infestation, mal-nutrition, anemia, a URI and more, but their foster Mommy was determined to get them through it all. Their foster mom did all she could, but Lovely started to decline. Lovely had hills and valleys, but when she became lethargic and uninterested in food she was rushed to the vet where she quickly declined. Lovely was given IV fluids and antibiotics, along with chest x-rays that revealed severe pneumonia with one lung completely non-functional. Unfortunately her body wasn't fighting the infection either. Her white blood cell and red blood cell count was dropping and 4 days later she lost the fight. Her heart wasn't strong enough to beat, and she couldn't get enough oxygen even when on a 100% oxygen gas. Lovely's death was nothing more than the result of ignorance and irresponsibility. When she arrived in PA she had so much life and love to give, but this was stolen from her. Now she waits on the rainbow bridge and remains in her Mommy's heart until they can reunite one day.

Hailey
2/28/2009 - 11/7/2009 Hailey came to us after being thrown out by her abusive owner. It was obvious she had previously broken ribs and her crate was a prison she was forced to use as a bathroom and a home. She was so terrified when she was first taken in, and at the same time so amazed by what the world had to offer. Hailey yearned for human acceptance and love. Although she was a wild girl, she had so much love to give, and we hoped just needed someone to show her what being a companion pet meant. More damage had been done however than we realized, and she sadly left us only a week after being in foster care. Now Hailey is with all those who have gone before us, running, playing, eating and free from the horrors she endured while on earth.

Maja
Maja aka Peanut aka Snowball came to us when he was left at a vets office by a breeder because he had a bum leg. He was such an amazing and sweet boy. He loved children, his canine brothers and sisters, and his foster parents. Peanut loved to cuddle!! Sadly at only about 8 weeks of age he became very sick. His foster mommy did all she could for him to help him fight and survive but he was too frail. So now he is waiting on the rainbow bridge for his mommy to come meet him one day...the first human to show him love and make him part of a family.

Boots
Boots March 14th, 2008 - June 14th 2008 Boots was a very sweet Boxer mix pup pulled from the Spalding Shelter in GA about a month ago. Thanks to his incredible Foster Family Boots was treated for Parvo and he survived that terrible disease, only to find that those medications were masking Distemper. Sadly, only 3 days after he received a clean bill of health from Parvo we lost him to yet another awful disease. Boots was more than loved in a wonderful Foster Home for the remaining 3 weeks of his life.
