She brightened my life each day

I  wanted to say thank you for rescuing my pup Bella (formerly Corrina) so  that I was able to adopt her. I adopted Bella (aka Corrina) from you in September 2003.  She brightened my life each day for the last 9+ years and was an awesome lil’ sis to my 1st pup Blazer. I have never met a dog  that was so incredibly sweet, bursting with love, enthusiastic about life, and that gave real hugs (jumped up to put paw on each shoulder & nuzzled your neck). 
 
My heart started to break the week before Xmas when her face swelled up  out of the blue. We took her to the vet, only to eventually discover that she had Malignant Melanoma in the roof of her mouth and it had already spread to her lymph nodes. We fought along side her for 2 1/2 months, treating the abscesses caused by the tumor and eventually removing her left eye to relief her of the pain & pressure the tumor  was putting on it as it grew. My baby girl Bella continued to wag her tail & shower us with love until Tuesday, March 5th. She was off Sunday & when i took her in Monday the vets told me she wasn’t breathing as well anymore. I took her home to spoil her & love on her for as long as I could & give my step-son a chance to say goodbye to his little bud. Bella went downhill fast that night, unable to lay down without struggling to breath.

I did the hardest thing I ever had to do & let her go Tuesday afternoon. My heart is shattered without the love & snuggles I enjoyed every day from my baby girl. This is a picture of her from 2009 when I had my 1st son. She  is sorely missed by all of my kids and most so by me. I’d give anything to have one more Bella Hug right now!

Thank you for saving her  & bringing her into my life. I don’t know if I would have made it through the last 9 1/2 years without her by my side….

Eyes That Would Melt Any Heart

I have always been wanting to send a huge thank you for bringing Hawkeye  into our lives. Hawkeye was the red lab from Iowa. He is the kindest soul and loves to just hang with our four-year old. He has the biggest brown eyes that would melt any heart.

He is doing great and seems to like his new home of two year. Thank you again for rescuing him and bringing him into our lives!!

Hello from Bonita

Hi,
My name is Bonita and I am from Kansas.  I love my life at this crazy lady’s house.  I am obsessed with my mommy, grandpa, brother and dog pack.  I have not had ANY accidents and I already know how to run and walk and I know how to ask my mommy to take me outside.  I also know how to start the evening on the floor but then climb on top of my mommy while she is sleeping and fall asleep on her chest without her knowing until the morning.  My brother tells me that is not appropriate. I don’t get it but I trust Marshall.  I just ate an omelette off the counter with cajun seasoning.  I hadn’t tried that until today.  I like it.  I’m used to bland cooking but I like my mommy’s spices.  I don’t know why she didn’t want to share it with me in the first place.  Right now I’m helping her unpack a box right now and I almost fell asleep because I am still a baby and I can’t focus on much for too long.  My brother and I are going to go for a walk in a little bit.  He said that is a very important job because we keep mommy safe and we shouldn’t trust anybody.  That’s fine because the people at the shelter told me not to trust anybody either until I knew their middle name.  And now I know my mommy’s (leah), marshall (mathers) and Diego’s (William). Life is good.
