Baby was lost to bone cancer at the tender age of 3 years old. Baby was loved and cherished by Tom and Linda Franklin. May she now find peace and rest without pain.

What Baby's Mother had to say about losing her baby girl,  "She was as sweet going to meet the Lord as she has been all her short life. I have a huge hole in my heart. She was so perfect. She even smelled good. I could take a big deep whiff of her and it made me happy, even today. Baby has been a true gift from God to Tom and I. We have loved her so much and will always love her. I miss her so much. I am so glad we had the short, short time with her."

Linda Davi let us take care of Dakota for the rest of her life and we were 

able to receive her love for ten years. She was the most beautiful and loving girl 

and we will miss her so much.

My Bridgee, it was a fleeting 7 years. Thank you for the unconditional love. 

It was heartbreaking, and i hope time will help me to let go. 

I love you so dearly. Missing you.

"Thank you for being with us. 
Thank you for giving us your love and joyfulness to us.
Thank you to God for lending us one of your white lovely angels to us. 
Finally, she was returning back to your hands.
Cherry, you may now leave this world with healthy body and spirit and big wings.
We will always miss you forever and ever. 
There is no single day in which we never think about you. 
Thank you my Cherry, my lovely Shih Tzu. 
Go and rest in peace.......

Miss Money Penny was 2 months shy of 15 years old.  I can hardly function.  Words cannot describe my feelings for her.  She was a once in a life time dog for me.

Lucy Feb. 21, 1999 – Dec. 2, 2012

Lucy was with us for almost 14 years, she was not only part of our family we were a part of her pack.  She loved her daily walks & was always excited to go for a ride. She loved tummy rubs, especially in the morning & never outgrew her toys. She was like a little shadow following us from room to room, our constant companion.  She hung out with Mama Dog during the day & would run out to greet Daddy Dog with kisses when he got home. She was loving & sweet, such a good girl! We lost her suddenly but were able to be with her when she passed away.  We miss our Sweet Lucy Dog & wish she were still here with us!

The following three memorials were emailed to me. I would like to personally thank Char Klis for opening her home to the unloved, dogs that some would pass because of their "problems". These dogs are just as worthy as any dog on this site. These dogs are very special because of the horror they endured and still loved the humans that gave them nothing and took everything. Thank you Char for showing these little angels that all humans are not thoughtless and cruel. We should all morn their passing and be so lucky that once in our lives we would be loved so unconditionally.

Sweet Bess survived over 10 years in a puppy mill before being rescued.  I was to be her foster mom, and when she arrived she had eye, ear and dental infections, multiple medical problems, no hair and she smelled like a sewer.  I immediately fell in love with her and adopted her.  She became the “Queen” of my house and reigned for 14 months before her enlarged heart couldn’t go on any longer.  But she loved every day of those 14 months.

Logan was my first foster dog and my first ‘foster flunk’ (I adopted my own foster dog).  Rescued from a puppy mill, untreated eye and ear infections had left him blind and deaf and he had been cruelly debarked.  However, he had the most beautiful soul and was the sweetest dog I have ever met.

We miss you Baby Boo.
