~ PETE ~
(3.4.10) You were taken in by someone who cared, you were vetted by a group trying to ensure your future. We are saddened today in learning there was a large, inoperable, cancerous, mass in your abdomen. You were touched today by the hands of healers who would have done more if they could. Today you are whole and free.

~ WEBSTER ~
(2.19.10) Webster came to HBR emaciated with his heart packed full of worms to the point he was not a candidate for treatment and even surgical removal would be extremely risky. Most certainly he would have considerable heart damage. We are sorry we could not have met you sooner. You are a precious innocent sacrificed due to neglect and cruelty. Your life had worth. And we honor you here with our sadness.

BUSTER BROWN
(1.29.09)This sweet boy was lost and taken in by a Good Samaritan, who provided a home and veterinary care to his emaciated body. It was later determined Buster's liver was undersized and he stopped eating and using the bathroom. After the third day, his kind rescuer took his pain as her own and released him to Rainbow Bridge. Although Buster was lost, he was not alone, and he was loved during his final days.

MAC
(1.27.09) Family and Friends will greatly miss “Mac” Stanley. Mac was very special to us all. Our hearts and prayers go out to his wonderful and devoted owner Kimberly Stanley. Mac passed away on Monday, January 27th after battling injuries for over a week due to being hit by a car . (driver unknown) We all know our boxers are not *just dogs*. They are our children, a family member, our protector, and our comic relief, our companion, confidante, and friend. Our emotions are intertwined both intricately and firmly. May the pain experienced by those who have lost a treasured friend be a tribute to the high stature Mac holds in their hearts. And may the memory of him swiftly turn golden, pages to visit and recall the essence of Mac and how he enriched their lives. ~ God Speed Mac ~

OREO
(12.25.08) OREO was rescued from BARC right before Christmas. She was a very sweet puppy with a heart of gold. She loved to play and chew...however, she had contracted Parvo at BARC and her brief life on this earth ended on Christmas night. Our thoughts are with OREO and we are glad that we got to share a few short days with her in comfort.
