Simba

In Memory of Simba

Good-bye, best friend. Enjoy your rest.
When it comes to dogs, you were the best.
With furry paws, and floppy ears
You helped me brew countless beers.
Your love made Maryland feel like home
Now your free to romp and roam.
You hated blinds, and loved belly rubs
But most of all, chicken bones in shrubs.
I hope we gave you the best times you've had
That it didn't start sooner makes me sad.
Rest in peace, it was your time.
God I love you, Simba Keim.

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.

Daisy Mae

In Memory of Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae aka Juniper who was adopted February 10, 2014 crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday, January 15, 2018 due to a suspected brain tumor. Daisy arrived at our house a tiny, scared, girl who had been over bred and horribly neglected. She was afraid of everyone and everything.

During her time with us, Daisy Mae blossomed into an inquisitive dog who played with toys and interacted with our guests. She was always full of energy and very happy go lucky. As soon as the alarm clock buzzed in the morning, she would get everybody out of bed to go downstairs for breakfast. She followed us through the house circling our legs like a cat. Outside, she would assist with the gardening by eating the ripe tomatoes. She also loved trips to the mountains to visit her grandparents. Thank you for placing her with our family. She brought so much joy in the short time she was with us.

Brandee

In Memory of Brandee

Brandee was a loving member of our family, and really our first child, since we adopted her from CSAC in February 2008.  As our family expanded, adding Lucas (8) and Reid (6), Brandee treated our children as if they were her own.  She would sleep in their beds, pick up their crumbs, and gently bark to let them know to slow down on their bikes outside.  Unfortunately, she battled with cancer over the last year, never losing her spirit even as the disease overtook her body.  We consider ourselves truly blessed to have had Brandee in our lives and she will be dearly missed.

Luka

Luka's Happy Ending

His name was Hashtag but now is Luka. He is doing quite well and is very happy. It has taken a lot of TLC to help him, and we were the right people to do it. He is a gentle loving little boy and the love of our lives along with his sister, Annabel. They don't spend too much time together yet but it's coming along slowly. I wanted to build his confidence a little bit more. He loves running and jumping in our backyard and just wags all over the place.

Thank you so very much for all you do!

Molly

In Memory of Molly

She was the 10 year old gal my wife and I rescued over 4 years ago. She was pesky at first until she settled in. Words just could not express Molly especially in the love and attention she gave us. It was so hard to let her go. Her last night my wife kept a constant vigil on her, checking on her, and it was me that found her. I sure do miss her. I remember at night when I would let her out and she would run and circle the yard. She was a pest until she got her way and on the bed. Thank you for trusting us with Molly.
