[CLICK TO RETURN TRIBUTES]

THIS WAS OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE, EMACIATED PUPPY (SO WE THOUGHT) WEIGHING IN AT 30LBS! AT AGE 1. A POUND RESCUE. PHYLLIS AND VICKI, VERY DEDICATED SHELTER VOLUNTEERS INSISTED THAT THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS WORTH SAVING .... BUT THEN WE THINK ALL ARE DESERVING WORTH SAVING... SHE WAS RESCUED AND WE STARTED A LONG ROAD OF NURSING BACK... SHE GAINED SOME WEIGHT BUT THINGS JUST WEREN'T RIGHT AND A THOROUGH EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT SHE HAD TRULY SOMETHING WRONG; A BIRTH DEFECT;

THE INTERNAL "PLUMBING" .... HER ORGANS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WASTE IN HER BODY WAS NOT ROUTED WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN .... WE ALL LOVED THIS LITTLE GIRL AND WERE TRULY HOPING THE VET COULD PERFORM A MIRACLE... BUT IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE .... SHE GAINED AND LOST IN ADDITION TO IT. WE COULDN'T WIN ...SHE WAS MUCH LOVED IN FOSTER CARE AND AFTER 6 WEEKS OF STRUGGLING WITH THE DECISION; WE HAD TO LET HER GO .... A I -YEAR-OLD FULL GROWN 32 POUND BOXER LOVING AND FEISTY AND WITH THE WILL TO LIVE! THESE ARE ALL MOMENTS WE DREAD AND CAN ONLY FIND PIECE KNOWING WE TRIED TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIVE... SHE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS; THAT IS WHAT RESCUE IS ALL ABOUT!
