In Memory of Our "Shelter Survivors" Who Have Crossed Over The Rainbow Bridge
Sweet Stretch....
Dear Shelter Survivors,
Eleven years ago we adopted "Stretch", a most loving basset hound, through your organization. He was found wandering on Staten Island and was in the pound slated for euthanasia when Shelter Survivors stepped in. We adopted him at the end of April 11 years ago, and he left us this past April 15 at the ripe old age of 15. He had arthritis and had developed lymphoma which eventually caused him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. It broke our hearts to say good-bye to this terrific member of our family. He was great with whomever he met (other than being afraid of men with black goatees!). He adored our grandchildren and was definitely attached to my husband (though I was the one who wanted to add Stretch to our home).
I want to thank you for the tremendous job that you do and wanted you to know that Stretch had a loving home where he was spoiled rotten. He gave to us so much more than he got. Again, thank you so very, very much from the bottom of our hearts.

Cutie-pie Cassie
Dear Shelter Survivors,
My heart is broken to have to share sad sad news. Cassie has had several bouts of what the vet diagnosed as an autoimmune problem. Another started yesterday morning and I got her on medication immediately and I got her to the vet within an hour. Unfortunately this bout of it was evidently too much for her little body. I was taking her from my vet to one that could give her a proper blood transfusion. She looked up at me, I scratched her head she laid her head down and was gone.
She was a truly wonderful little dog who was deeply loved and she will be missed terribly.
