“It is with a very heavy heart I have said goodbye to my little guy today. It’s only been less than 5 years we have been together but seems much longer. I’ll never forget when you and your little brother came to me as fosters from Destiny For Dogs, JoAnn Goodrich! Thank you for giving me the chance to give him his final forever home. You had such a rough life before. I’m so glad I was able to give you the love and family you deserved these past few years. Thank you Dr. Matthew Bond for taking such good care of my boy at the end so he didn’t suffer. I will miss you always ZEN but for now run free! Until we meet again.”
Merry Christmas in Heaven Buddy

Thank you for finding me my forever home! The past 5 weeks have been the most glorious weeks of my life. I am overloaded with toys and so much luv. I go on many walks a day, play til I drop and I get to sleep on mommy and daddy’s bed at nite. I couldn’t ask for more. I’m the happiest dog ever!
