GOOD NEWS PUPDATE & HAPPY EASTER FROM HUNTER & HIS MOM

“Happy Easter from Hunter, Carol and Neal. Hunter is almost 10 years old.  

We have a great dog. Alot stubborn but overall very sweet, non aggressive and gets along with people and dogs. Forget cats and deer.

Hunter has unlimited couch, bed and dog bed privileges. Now he has 9 acres of woods, but we don’t let him off leash except around house. Snakes, alligators and deer. He gets several long walks daily also. 

We love him dearly. Thank you.” 

Wishing Hunter, mom & dad continued “Happy Days Ahead!” 

Special “Thank You” to Tami for rescuing Hunter from under a parked car when just a small puppy. To Vickie Virzi for fostering Hunter and getting him ready to go to his extraordinary loving forever home. 

Thanks to you both, Hunter hit the doggie lottery almost 10 years ago

In Loving Memory of “Honey”

IN LOVING MEMORY OF HONEY FROM HER BELOVED MOTHER

“Please Mary, tell me, that you were there waiting for Honey – that you held her as I had to let her go…and that the two of you are running happily together again.  Miss you both! Honey 3-11-2024” 

Please also keep Honey’s mom, Laura in your loving thoughts & prayers as this is truly heartbreaking beyond words: 

Honey’s mom, Mary passed away, September 18th, 2022 after being in a coma. Honey’s other mom, Laura was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.  She waited to start therapy, then had a severe reaction and had to stop.  The following day her beloved fur baby, Honey ended up in the hospital and she never left Honey’s mom, Laura was hoping she would have her furbaby next to her during chemo.  

From Laura, Honey’s surviving mom:

“Honey was very loved.  She was Mary’s first dog, but it was a real bond between the two of them.  I know that in the future, I will get another doggy so if you see a girl as sweet as our honey, not a big doggy, please let me know.”

We are all so sorry for the loss of Laura’s beloved Mary whom also loved Honey dearly. 

Honey was blessed to have two extraordinary moms who provided her such an incredible and loving forever home.

Rest in Peace Mary & Honey. You are both together “Happy, Healthy & Whole.”

Special thanks to Cheryl & Leo Wellence Jr for being such wonderful foster parents to Honey

In Loving Memory of Emmy from Mom

IN LOVING MEMORY OF EMMY FROM HER MOM

“Sending one of my favorite photos of Emmy, as you know she was very camera shy so it was always hard to take a good photo. Emmy was much loved and her time here was way too short. Sad to have her previous abuse confirmed, I know we suspected that something had happened to her, nevertheless it’s very distressing to know she had been treated so badly.

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and deepest respect for all you do for the animals that need help.”

There are no words to express our appreciation for all that Emmy’s mom did for this sweet, loving and beautiful senior girl to make the rest of her life extraordinary. Mom did everything humanely possible to provide only the best for Emmy and the love she so deserved. 

Rest in Peace, Dear Emmy. You are now “Happy, Healthy & Whole, running free at Rainbow Bridge 

Until you meet again … always in your mom’s heart and loving memories

Finn the Norwegian Forest Cat

🐾💕MORE GOOD NEWS PUPDATES FROM BOHDI & TUCKER’S MOM. WELCOME BEAUTIFUL FINN TO YOUR NEW HOME

“💕Another pupdate! Bodhi & Tucker have a new brother – Finn the Norwegian Forest Cat. He was rehomed 3x and this is his last! The boys are all getting along after a couple of sketchy weeks of slow introductions! Bodhi decided he wanted to be his BFF from day 1 but Tucker not so much 😂 it’s actually funny because Tucker is so oblivious & laid back but he was not a fan! I think once he realized Finn could care less if he had his approval he decided it wasn’t worth the energy to terrorize him! Bodhi is completely obsessed & in love with him. It was certainly not in the plans to add a cat but really…why not?! The kids are over the moon & one less fur baby in a shelter or at risk. What a splendid gift they all are 💝

Tucker is Lili’s dog for sure! He sleeps with her, runs errands, she carries him on her hip like a toddler & he naps slumped on her lap while she works. It’s hilarious & precious.💕”

Always “Room for One More

Wishing Finn lots of love & happiness in his new loving forever home with his two & four legged siblings🐾💕💕

Frankie

🐾💕HEARTWARMING PUPDATE & PRECIOUS PHOTOS FROM FRANKIE’S INCREDIBLE MOM🐾💕

“My old boy, Frankie- catching some rays. He looks fat and old in those pics. Also some from this Easter. Guessing that he must be about 13? These street dogs never tell us how old they are.”

Frankie was rescued from PBCACC by DFD.  Being a young JRT mix, he was extremely HIGH energy, barky, and nippy. Thankfully, Frankie’s “Foster Mom” became a “Foster Failure. ” He needed a seasoned, knowledgeable, committed and extremely dedicated JRT owner. Barbara worked her magic with Frankie and he became the most amazing guy. Frankie assisted his mom with nurturing so many future fosters to successfully find perfect, loving homes. Many thanks to this extraordinary dog and his mom for all that they did to save precious lives. Together, they assisted so many neglected fur babies to live “Happily Ever After” lives. Just no words to express our appreciation to Barbara & Frankie
