Dot and Tommy Go to the Rainbow Bridge

It is with great sadness that we report that Dot and Tommy have gone to the rainbow bridge. Both were older forever fosters who spent the last months of their lives being loved and cared for.

Dot was a sweet older girl who was fostered by Malinda. She came into rescue at age 10, and was loved and adored by Malinda and her family. Dot was super sweet and affectionate, and won the hearts of all who knew her. She had a breast tumor removed in September, but sadly, the cancer returned and progressed to her legs and lungs. She died at the office of her vet, with the staff who had cared for her able to say goodbye to her, and cuddled by Malinda. Rest in peace, sweet Dot.

Tommy was abandoned by his family with a brain tumor. He was taken in by Foster Mom Carolyn, who made him part of her brood for the time he had left. No one could have received better care or more love, and he died among his new family and surrounded by love. He was a special, handsome boy who taught all around him the value of loyalty and devotion.

A special thank you to all those who have forever fosters, knowing that they are the last home for these poor souls who were abandoned at the hour of their greatest need. Malinda, Carolyn and all the others know they were chosen for a special task, and they have all our admiration and respect.
