Every one of these animals crossed the bridge in the loving arms of volunteers and fosters. They were kissed and hugged and knew more love in those final moments than many do in a lifetime. While their time with us was far too brief, they left with a piece of us and blessed us with the memory of them.
Run in Paradise, Sweet Angels!

Sweet Jellybean was only with us for a few hours before she passed away from what we believe may have been pneumonia.

We lost sweet Parker so quickly. What we thought was an inner ear infection appears to have possibly been a fast growing tumor. Parker passed in his sleep at his foster's home.

Sweet Harry only got 1 night in his foster before needing to be hospitalized. Harry crossed over May 10, 2017.
He was very loved in the short time we knew him.
Cancer sucks!!

Sweet Senior Stardust crossed the Bridge in September 2017.
After 6 months with us, Keko crossed the Rainbow Bridge on November 2, 2017. This sweet old man is now free of the seizures and other issues that presented late in his life. Run in Paradise, sweet boy!
After 16 months in foster, Rocko succumbed to cancer on 12/5/2017. He passed surrounded by love and took a piece of every heart of every person he ever met with him. Until we meet again.
Tiny senior Chanel crossed the bridge on March 5, 2018. She was in Hospice for just over 2 months and knew nothing but love.
Sweet old Rose crossed the bridge on Feb 19, 2018.This lovely old lady spent her last 9 months in a loving foster home.
Sweet Shorty passed in his sleep on the morning of March 1, 2018. We were blindsided by this as he had shown no signs of decline. Shorty always did things on his own terms. We have no doubt that he is living it up at the Rainbow Bridge.
UPDATE: Shorty's mass was debulked and it was found to be a grade III mast cell tumor. There was no way to remove it all and the prognosis isn't good as it is an extremely aggressive form of cancer. Shorty's leg is slowly recovering and he goes to the vet frequently for bandage changes and staff meetings. He is frequently their 4 legged supervisor and is loved by all.
Shorty will be a hospice boy and will be extremely loved for however much time we are lucky enough to have with him.

Our sweet senior boy, Elmer ended up with a hemangioma on his spleen that was leaking into his abdomen. It happened very suddenly and caught us all by surprise. Prior to his crossing the bridge, ownership was transferred to his loving foster so that he would have a last name with him when he got there. He was very loved and is still terribly missed by many.

Sweet Max lost his battle with Valley Fever and Pneumonia on April 15, 2019. This sweet boy spent his entire life ill but is now whole again and romping at the rainbow bridge. He is missed by so many!
Hammy was only with us for a short time but had been with his foster/now forever family for a year. His symptoms were all over the place. Blood work, cytology, Xrays, ultrasound....all provided no answers. Hammy passed in his sleep while still at the emergency vet in the early hours on August 1st. His loss was felt profoundly and if love and money could have saved him, he would still be with us.
We unexpectedly lost Momo in the wee hours of September 11th.
She developed pleural effusion and had fluid filling her chest cavity around her heart and lungs. Even with further procedures, the prognosis was bad.
The decision was made to help her cross and end her suffering. The sudden nature of this has broken the hearts of all who knew her.

Henrietta crossed the bridge in early February 2020 surrounded by those who loved her most.
Beautiful Jade came to us with a multitude of lumps and bumps that we removed. A few weeks later, she needed a splenectomy due to a mass that fortunately came back benign. Sadly, she developed osteosarcoma on her front right shoulder. It was fast moving and aggressive and threatening to break her leg before spreading to the rest of her body. She spent her last 2 weeks being spoiled and loved before we said goodbye and guided her to the bridge on August 14, 2020.
