Rocket

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE ON ROCKET (TUCKER) FROM HIS DAD🐾💕
“FINALLY, a picture of Rocket and one of the family. Sorry for the delay. He’s an awesome & happy boy, loves his sister Lady so much. Still a little “barky” at times but we all LOVE him! He is really an affectionate dog with humans and his sister. He is a bit of a guard dog and can still be startled like he was abused in his earlier life. But, he KNOWS he’s loved and safe. Recently he’s been going to the horse barn and loves his big, big brother Dublin! I just wish there were more homes that can provide love to unwanted pets.”

RIP Roxy and Cali Girl

Cali was our 16 year old Golden Retriever who passed in February 2022 from old age and Roxy was our sweet angel we adopted many years ago and her approximate age was 13 who passed in May 2022. Roxy finally succumb to her long time Cushing’s disease that she was being treated for since she was diagnosed many many years ago. Both lived so much longer than anyone thought as they were so loved and happy. Roxy and Cali were ready to move out of Florida and go on a long road trip across country, but they just could not last long enough for the journey of their lifetime. We will miss having our big girls traveling with us. Roxy and Cali are survived by their Chihuahua sister and two cats, Rock Monster and KiKi. RIP our sweet angels.

All our love…Mommy and Daddy

From Joanne Joanne Berry:

“This adoption is perfect for Scooter’s new little sister who is also a rescue. She is timid, timid, timid. Scared of everything and won’t approach any people so while Scooter is busy being the social butterfly she just sits and watches. I told mom & dad that she would continue to watch and one day she would want a little bit of the love Scooter was getting.  I told them that he would be very good for her because she could sit and watch and see that nothing bad was going to happen if you let people pet you.🐾💕”

He knew when I was feeling down and always crawled on me to cheer me up. He was everything and I want to thank you and everyone involved for allowing me to adopt him and for bringing him into my life and also helping us through this process. 

Although its hard to come to the conclusion that he’s gone, he was amazing and a great soul. Oliver will forever be loved 🖤. Thank you for everything.”

🌈In Loving Memory of King

From King’s amazing and loving Dad, Joe💔

“JoAnn, King took ill just over a week ago and he was admitted to a nearby animal hospital on Monday. At first the staff there were optimistic that he’d be returning home soon, though the treatment options for his cancer would be limited. But then he took a turn for the worse yesterday morning, and he died in my arms at the hospital last night.  Everyone whoever encountered him knew him to be the sweetest little guy. I can’t thank you enough for letting him be with me. I only wish it could have been for a longer time. I miss him already. 

Please feel free to post photos and information about King on your website. I have many photos of him. Here’s one, and I’ll send more so you’ll have a variety of choices. 

There are lots more, but for now I will end with the photo that won the local camera store contest.”

To know King was to love him. We are all so sorry for the loss of this beautiful senior gentleman. Our healing thoughts and prayers go out to his Dad, Joe who provided unconditional love and took extraordinary care of his beloved, King. 

🌈Rest In Peace sweet boy at Rainbow Bridge,

Happy Healthy and Whole🌈
