Treasure

 

Always on our minds! Forever in our hearts!

Houston Chow Chow Connection pulled Treasure, her two kids, and who we  believe was the father of her puppies a little over three and a half  years ago from a kill shelter in Texas. We may have rescued her but she  rescued the rest of us also! 

She ended up being adopted in to a  household that adored her and shared their life with her! She got  birthday cakes, Halloween walks, dress up days, and game days with her  girls and on alert and sleepy time with her four-legged brothers. That's  how we want her remembered.

Her life before that was not a good  situation. She was neglected and had horrible untreated heartworms. And  unfortunately, three and a half years after she rescued us, she passed  away this weekend because of heart issues due to past heartworms. Her  family did everything they could to make her very comfortable throughout  her life with them especially in the end. But they did not want to keep  her around for them. This is what her mom had to say.

Thank you  for bringing her into our family!  I think we got much more from her  than we gave.  She is such a life lesson in having a positive outlook on  life despite your past.  Abigail (one of our girls) really bonded with  her immediately and took a lot of inspiration from her.  Definitely  unforgettable!!

So, until we meet again Sweet Treasure! You are loved!

Meeka

Patience aka Belize

Patience aka Belize

 

We had a senior forever foster pass. Meeka was saved a few years ago.  She was being sold for $20 and through a transporter and forever foster  we were able to scoop her up.

She had a great life with her mom. Shopping trips, treats, brothers and sisters and lots of walks.

 Thank you foster mom/mom.  You treated her as if she was your own.  People that are senior forever fosters are some kind of special.

With  a heavy heart we want to say goodbye to one of our pups who was adopted  and loved by the perfect family. Belize came from the Gonzales shelter  and after bringing her in to rescue we found out that she was heartworm  positive (and had been for a while) and had a heart issue. She was in  rescue for several months when we received an application and they  wanted to meet her even with these two issues! They brought their other  dog Brando to meet Belize and the rest is history! She was given the  name Patience Marie and became a  beautiful diva! She was loved loved  loved! Unfortunately this family lost their other pup Brando just a few  months prior to losing Patience. Our hearts go out to them. We want to  thank everyone who gives our pups a chance!

Sweet dreams Patience and Brando!

Ken Brown

Foster. Supporter. Cheerleader.  All around nice nice man.  We  had some sadness the weekend of June 22nd. Our enthusiastic friend Ken passed away.   As usual, he was helping one of our dogs when he became ill.


We  want his family and friends to know how much we appreciate them sharing him and his enthusiasm with us.  He was so kind, so happy to be helping and so in love with our dogs.


May God Bless You Ken. Thank you.

Marge Alexander

 It is with great sadness that we share news that on September 12th, the rescue community lost an amazing and wonderful woman, Marge Alexander.  For many many years she played an essential role in coordinating, transporting and uniting hundreds of animals with their new forever  homes.  Helping others was not only her passion, it was her legacy.  We had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with Marge in May.  We will forever treasure that short time we spent together.  We laughed and shared great stories about our families (especially our 4-legged  family), friends & the long list of incredible volunteers we have met along the way.  She was a great supporter and devoted friend to so  many people and she will be deeply missed by all.  Rest in peace Marge....until we meet again.
