In Memoriam SHEBA

September 14, 2024
???? IN MEMORIAM: SHEBA Adopted September 2015 – Passed 2024 ???? From SHEBA’s foster at time of posting 2015: Here is a beautiful red and white, rough coat female, three years old, ready for her new home. SHEBA is playful, fun and energetic. She is housebroken (not one accident in her foster home) and crates easily for daytime rest periods and for sleeping quietly throughout the night. She LOVES to ride in the car.....did we mention how much she loves to go for a drive? SHEBA has attached herself to her foster parents and likes to hang out with us. While very affectionate, she is not obnoxious or pushy for attention. She loves to be petted (always down for a tummy rub) and in return will give nose snuffles. She is quite the cuddle aficionado. While she fancies herself a lap dog, she's weighs about 55 pounds so discretion here is advised. From SHEBA’s Dad Chris: Sheba was loved by everyone she came into contact with. She was the door greeter, made sure everyone was good. Sheba loved going on car rides. She had the biggest smile on her face and she kept hitting you with her paw because she wanted you to hold her paw and she was thanking me for taking her on a ride. I moved out to Ohio, Sheba was in the front seat the whole time and she enjoyed that trip. When she got to her new house she was happy and felt at home and checked everything out. She got me up in the morning so she could go outside and be in the yard. When it rained or snowed she come in happy and would jump on the foot stool to get her spa treatment of being dried off. She was a cuddle bug and a love bug. She was very well loved. She did come back in a dream of mine and sat next to me and was happy with a big smile on her face and let me know she is with me always and that she is happy.

VALENTINO in Memoriam

February 14, 2024
In Memoriam: Valentino was left at a shelter on February 14th, emaciated at 48 pounds (versus his ideal weight of 70 lbs). His back legs were atrophied, he had severe orthopedic issues, and advanced arthritis, among many other issues. We thought we were likely seeing Val through the last few months of his life, but we were bamboozled! Val became younger right before our eyes. His walks got longer, he got stronger, and much to our amazement, he began galloping and rolling around playing with other dogs. He quickly became a neighborhood celebrity. Val even became 'Uncle Val' to our skinny little rescue puppy Oliver (who is now our Betty’s big little brother – fun note, Betty was also adopted from NCBCRA).

OUR ROSE

May 2, 2021
🐕 IN MEMORIAM  OUR ROSE – Smart, Lovely and the best Goose Dog Ever - 💔. 🐕 We lost our Rose yesterday 💔.  She was 14 1/2 years old and SO smart, SO lovely and the BEST goose dog ever! When Rose was working she was all business! Nothing distracted her. Other dogs we worked with her wanted to play chase (or chase the squirrels)  but Rose 🌹  ignored them and did her job!

Newton 2006 – 2020

September 5, 2020
Hi. Newt’s dad here. I have sat down to write this umpteen times, only to let myself get distracted from the reality of the circumstance. On Wednesday September 2nd just before noon, we said goodbye to our boy Newton. Newt was a staple in our rescue for six plus years. The day prior we had officially made him part of the family by adopting him, as we had discussed many times. The end came swiftly (thankfully). Enough time to give it a chance, then to accept the inevitable and ultimately give him a peaceful and dignified cross over Rainbow Bridge.

In Memoriam Nick

December 5, 2019
We'd been fostering for 3 years before Nick came along in 2006. We hadn't found one that was a keeper until Nick. I was in the shelter signing paperwork, came outside and my husband said “Here is our new dog! Nick!” He knew immediately there was something so special about Nick. His 14th Birthday was coming up this February.

In Memoriam Dirk September 2nd 2019

September 24, 2019
Adopted 9/14/14, we pay tribute today to #Dirkthedog, who crossed Rainbow Bridge on the evening of September 2nd 2019. He had a wonderful time with Dad Ed and Mom Julie. Dad says “He was, by far, the best dog I’ve ever had. He brought more joy and peace to my life than can be imagined. He never wanted any more than a head scratch and gave so much more in return.”
