Memorials

In Memory of Rock

Our 1st baby, our 1st dog.

You were just about as perfect as a dog could be; all you ever wanted to be was right next to us doing whatever it was we were doing. Basking in the sun in the middle of the back yard, lying there with your paws crossed; we will always think of you on the first crisp day of spring and fall – you loved those days, there was always a spring in your step. We will think of you hiking and running on the beach, running through the snow, and hanging your head out the window during long car rides. I have never seen a dog more perfect with children - you were the neighborhood dog that everyone loved. AJ and Trevor would light up when you walked in to the room – you let them pet you, pull on your ears, paws, and nub and you loved every second of it – you didn’t even mind when they climbed on top of you and pretended you were a horsy. We will always remember that long, sigh you would let out when you finally allowed yourself to lay down amongst all the activity around you; and how you loved sleeping between your Mommy and Daddy like an alligator lying on his back. We miss you and will always remember the years you gave us. I know that you are watching over us and protecting us from above. Thank you, Rock, We Love You.

We had such a short time together, but you've left us a lifetime of memories.  You will always be our first Rottie, with a big heart and a smile to share.  We wish you didn't have to go so soon.

You don't how much you both will be missed.  I will never forget our walks and our talks.  Bella you were my baby girl.  I miss you sleeping under the covers with me and you chasing your tail when you got really excited.  Sammy you were my little momma's boy never leaving my side.  I will never forget you.

In Memory of Huckleberry

You were pure joy. An angel is black fur. A kindred spirit. I've rarely come across a soul so smart, funny, kind, and generous. Here is "our song" in your honor. You are my forever and I will always love you. Huckleberry 3/13/06 "Forever" by Ben Harper. Not talkin' 'bout a year, no not three or four. I don't want that kind of forever in my life anymore. Forever always seems to be around when it begins, but forever never seems to be around when it ends. So give me your forever. Please your forever. Not a day less will do from you. People spend so much time every single day runnin' 'round all over town givin' their forever away. But no not me, I won't let my forever roam and now I hope I can find my forever a home. So give me your forever. Please your forever. Not a day less will do from you. Like a handless clock with numbers, an infinite of time. No, not the forever found only in the mind. Forever always seems to be around when things begin, but forever never seems to be around when things end. So give me your forever. Please your forever. Not a day less will do from you.

Teays' Memorial Dedication

There aren't too many foster dogs that we would truly love to keep permanently in our family, but Teays was one. Teays was gorgeous and had an amazing temperment. She was a "pushy broad" in all the best ways, and so wonderful with people. Teays died suddenly of bloat, the damage was just too great to save her. Although she was never formally adopted, she has a forever place in our hearts, and is buried alongside our other dogs in our field..

Love, foster mom and dad, Elaine and Rich

Laddie's Memorial Dedication

Laddie was rescued from a bad situation in Ohio, only to get himself into a kennel environment in rescue for nearly a year. We finally got him as a foster in April 2005, as a tough old man. He was dignified and smart and enjoyed his days lounging in the sun. He'd been through some rough patches in his life, but was ever loving and knew that he deserved attention (and treats!). Laddie was a distinguished looking farm collie, and he charmed people wherever he went. But we simply didn't know he was sick. He passed away suddenly when his tumor finally ruptured. All we can do is be thankful that he spent his last 3 months happy, living as a true family member with us, and work for rescue in his memory.

Love Foster Mom - Elaine

Karen & John's Memorial to their Beloved Maggie

We had Maggie for just a few brief months but she enriched our lives in ways that one can never measure. She demonstrated the infinite capacity of a dog to forgive those who had treated her badly. She showed courage and dignity even when she was suffering unimaginable pain from cancer. She willingly submitted to all the treatment we inflicted on her in the vain hope that we could beat the disease. She never refused a pill, powder or potion. She willingly got in the car for weekly trips to the vets for surgeries, acupuncture and examines. It was the hardest thing I have ever done to say good bye. Our time together was too short and even now the ache in my heart is raw.

But I also remember the good times. The amazing people like Dr. Sanderson and his employees who went to extraordinary lengths to try and save Maggie. Taking Maggie for walks in the woods with my nieces who made lovely clover chains and draped them around her neck like jewels. I miss lying on the floor next to Maggie looking into her soft brown eyes and getting warm kisses.

I know that Maggie is in a better place now. Free from pain and disease. I believe that Maggie is at the rainbow bridge waiting for me and I look forward to the day when we can be together forever.

Brewster's Memorial Dedication

Bonnie O'Donnell sends this memorial to her beloved Brewster. Brewster (Timber) came into my life and provided so much love and joy. He was such a "Good Boy". I will always treasure the time I had with Brew and I believe God put him in my path so that he would have a loving life. Even though the loss is deep-there are no regrets! I MISS YOU BREW BREW!!!

Serena's Memorial Dedication

From Ann Cummins. When Serena came to Roxie's Fund she was an old and blind German Shepherd. There were not too many placement opportunities despite the fact that she was undemanding and had a wonderful, easy-going temperment. The blindness was not hers, but of those who failed to see past the physical challenges and into the heart of a dear, dear lady who compensated by giving out an extra measure of devotion. I am honored to have fostered her for two, too-short, months. Godspeed, Serena.

Carli's Memorial Dedication

In Memory of Carli
1992-2000
Beloved family pet of the Greenlaw family.
A second hand dog, but first class pet, she was the best dog anyone could ever ask for and she is my inspiration to rescue more. Carli, nobody else will ever fill your paws. You are greatly missed.
--Cathy Greenlaw

Arlie's Memorial Dedication

In Memory of Arlie

Arlie - You were with us only a short while in rescue, but we all loved you.

We love you and we miss you. Always thinking of you.

Annie's Memorial Dedication

In Memory of Annie

Annie was a special girl. Being diagnosed with a life threatening illness at age 6 months, her life had many peaks and valleys to overcome but she took each one by one - divided and conquered. She was loving and devoted to us until the end. There was never a person she did not love or want to meet and all that met her loved her immediately! She lost her final battle after seven long years and we were blessed to be with her every single step of the way. She passed knowing that she was loved, cared for by the best, and honored by all as a Princess. She will always be missed and even now after months of her being gone...I can still feel her laying by my side. She is with her brother and sister at the bridge waiting for me and someday...she will once again sit in my lap and tell me all about her day! We miss you sweet Annie Girl. There will never be another like you!

In Memory of Bruno

Bruno was with us for 11 1/2 years. He was recently diagnosed with bone cancer and left us on November 6, 2004. Bruno was my first baby and my best friend. He weathered many storms and enjoyed a long life filled with lots of love. He was famous in the neighborhood with all of the children. They loved to accompany him with Roxie on his daily walks. He followed me from room to room, even if he was sleeping. Till the end, Bruno was a very brave boy, always looking after his mommy. Even as he took his last breath, Bruno made sure that I was watching. I miss his bark , his kisses at the end of the day, belly rubs, and especially the hugs at bed time. I imagine that the hole in my heart will eventually heal and will be filled with the love of yet another special soul. There will only be one Bruno. We can't wait to see you again. We will always love you, Bruno. You can rest easy now, boy!!!! Love Kelly, Rebecca, and Tyler

Memorial to CJ

Sadly, our beloved CJ was put to sleep the day after Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I was able to hold my sweet boy throughout the whole process so he wasn't scared or alone. We like to think that if CJ could, he would thank us for taking the pain away. CJ brought us so much joy and laughter and we miss him terribly.! CJ was a big, beautiful boy. We lovingly referred to him as Biggins'. We love you CJ.

In Loving Memory of SweetPea

SweetPea was a 7 year old beautiful black lab mix. These words and thoughts are for SweetPea ! You deserved better and those of us who at least knew you by name and picture only - will still always think of you and try and spare any more dogs from having to go through what you went through. Now you are free. Run in all the dog parks and eat all the dog bones you want - and just know your life was not taken in vain - we'll work even harder now to try and make a difference for all the SweetPeas in this world - the precious and innocent dogs who don't have a voice and just love us so unconditionally. We won't forget you, SweetPea.

In Loving Memory of Peyton (Oso)

Peyton/Oso was just over 3 years old and his last healthy weight was 109lbs. He was diagnosed with Lymphoma in early November 2004 and died on December 4, 2004. He enjoyed his walks, although he probably wished he could have caught one of those squirrels he always watched. He liked his kong toys, knuckle bones and the tennis ball game we played. He liked his new home and family. We will miss him and he will always live in our hearts.

Brenda & John (Mommy & Daddy)

Darin's & Michele's Memorial To Bruno

Bruno and I truly had a guy to guy relationship as you would swear he did things to get my goat. I loved him dearly and will always have a special place in my heart. I hope I will see him at Rainbow Bridge someday.

In Memory of Justice

From her mommy Devan

"Sweet Justice was family to me, despite only coming into my life for the last seven months of her life. She showed everyone her heart in one look, and her love for life was present until the day she passed. I have known many dogs, all of them special, but there was something extraordinary about Justice. Our bond was strong, and still is now. I miss her, but I know she thanks me everyday for helping her leave this world with dignity and love. The support I received during the struggle and eventual end of her life, was so tremendous, and it kept her spirits up as well as mine (Wendy, thank you for everything). Justice, you gave me more than I could ever give you, and I will keep rescuing dogs because of all the love you left with me."

In Loving Memory of Teddy

We adopted Teddy when he was about five years old from a couple that were moving into a house with white carpet. Teddy was not welcome there. Their loss, our treasure! Teddy gave us ten wonderful years of friendship, loyalty, protection and love. We all love and miss you Teddy and we hope you'll be waiting for us when our time comes.
Love - Mom, Dad, Tiffany, Shane, Natalie & Mason
