Brooklyn

In Memory of Brooklyn

Brooklyn lost her life to Cancer. She went from a super happy, loving dog to one who was in obvious pain and slept all the time. How do I describe Brooklyn - From the day I got her she was one of those dogs who loved life, me and even her “sister” also rescued, Amy. Brooklyn did everything with enthusiasm. She always did whatever I asked of her. She never got into the trash, didn’t beg for food when I was eating, unlike her sister, never had an accident in the house, came when called, and when she got excited ( usually when it was time for breakfast and/or dinner) she had the cutest bark - high in altitude and just filled love and happiness. She was the perfect dog. The only thing I was not happy about was that I had her only one year before Cancer took her. She will be missed dearly.

Duke

In Memory of Duke

It is with great sadness that I write to let you know one of your adopted dogs passed away last week at the age of 15. I rescued Duke in June of 2006, just shy of my 22nd birthday, and he was by my side ever since. We even lived in York, England while I completed my Masters degree in 2008-2009. After my marriage, he tolerated my husband, and later, my two boys, but everyone knew he really only had eyes for me. He was my constant shadow. I feel lucky to have had him in my life for as long as I did. He was the best dog anyone could have asked for. My heart broke in two when it came time to say goodbye. He will be forever missed. Thank you for bringing us together.
