Bo & Luke
Bo & Luke were the sweetest of brothers. These two boys were so happy and had a large case of wiggle butt syndrome. Their tails were always wagging, even though they were not feeling well. We thought they both broke with Parvo, but have now learned they also had congenital heart defects that sealed their fate. The boys were very loved by all in their foster family!!

Faira & Fauna
These two sisters unfortunately lost the battle with Parvo :( :( Both girls were very loved during the short time they had in foster care. Faira was a talker, who always had something to say!! Fauna was pistol who certainly liked to push her boundaries, but was a love none the less!

Ruthie
Good morning, It is with great sadness that I need to inform you of our little Ruthie's journey to the Rainbow Bridge on January 19, 2011. We realized early on last fall after adopting her that we had a Hospice case on our hands. We gave her all the love and attention we could and even with that & constant medical care we could see her slipping away. I was so glad that she could celebrate the holidays with us & our family. I caught her gazing at the Christmas tree & it's lights so many times throughout those weeks. It was tearful to me as she looked at the sparkles even with no sight in her left eye. Unfortunately the effects of the constant need of prednisone caught up with her and a major bacterial infection was taking over her entire body. We would not allow her to suffer any longer and so we made the appointment for Wednesday morning. We want you to know that she touched our hearts in such a caring & gentle way. we only wished we had had her from puppyhood. She was such a SWEET little dog. Thank you for allowing her to come into our lives. You are all angels. Ted, Nan and Helga Rose

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 due 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.
