Easter Baskets for Pugs, Leia and Harley

I recently received Easter Baskets for my fosters.  I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and my babies truly enjoyed the treats.  I have had a lot going on here the past few weeks and apologize for the delay in getting this message out.

Thanks to SuzAnne Bollinger for the basket for Pugs.

Thanks to Rhea Henderson for the basket for Leia.

Thanks to Loretta Miner for the basket for Harley.

What a great group of Rescue Angels you all are!

Leia Goes to the Rainbow Bridge

It is with an anguishing heavy heart that I have to tell you that Leia ran out of the house this afternoon and was hit by a car and died instantly. I am in such disbelief.  She was only four years old but the only peace I have is that she is now home with her sister Pugs who died last Saturday.  Who says life is fair?  My only hope for her was a good life!  RIP Sweet Baby girl.  You will be deeply missed!  My heart is truly broken.

Pugs Goes to the RainBow Bridge

My sweet Pugs went to the Rainbow Bridge today after a bout of Pancreatitis. She was 12 years old. Our hearts are broken! RIP Angel baby. You will deeply missed!
I am devastated.  She fought with all she had.  RIP baby.

Oh no!  So sorry for your loss. She suffers no more;  only runs and plays.  Feel good about the life she you gave her - Loretta Butler

I'm so sorry, Linda.  Thank you for all you did for her. - Beth McFadden

 Oh I am so so sorry Linda, Pugs was in my prayers as well as you…. The only problem with belonging to all of these boston groups is the sad sad news when one is lost like this  but then there is all the support and understanding from everyone who has them and have gone through the same. It breaks our hearts every time and never gets easier, ever! What keeps me going is knowing at the end they will meet us all at the bridge to be reunited. I just picture all the dogs that I have had in my lifetime up there playing with each other . My thoughts are with you and I'm sending you Hugs ! Evon

Linda I'm so sorry for your loss. Run free sweet angel. - Conny

I am so sorry to hear about sweet Pugs. For those of you who don't know, Linda took in both Pugs and Leah from a elderly man who loved them dearly but could no longer care for them. Linda drove and met him and promised him she would love them and do her best to keep them together. She kept them both and kept her promise. Even took in Harley, the blind deaf boy off Craig's list recently as well.

Linda, you are a true rescue angel.

Run free sweet Pugs

Adopt Bonded Pair - Leia and Pugs

Wouldn't you love waking up to these beautiful sisters during this exciting holiday time of year?

These two girls were an owner surrender.  The man's wife passed away and he is moving in with his brother and sister-in- and law.  They had three dogs themselves and could not take these two beauties.  So the poor owner had to surrender them (after just loosing his wife).  He was so sad about this and requested that they be fostered and adopted together so I agreed.  I am going to try and fulfill his wish and try to keep them together.  We all know what a great bond siblings can have! 

Leia (1st Photo) She was 4 in September and is a great girl.  She is potty trained and absolutely loves to play with toys.  I think that she would be a great candidate for being a dog that competes in agility.  She is high energy, although not hyper and just loves to play.  She is great with other dogs, people and kids and listens well.

Pugs (2nd Photo)  She is 12 years old and doesn't look a day over 8 (with the exception of a little gray around her eyes).  She is pretty mellow but loves to interact with my other dogs.  She is hard of hearing and potty trained, and is in great health.  She has her own language she speaks when she gets excited and it almost sounds like she is speaking.  Other than that she is quiet and loves dogs, people and kids.

Both are in excellent health and UTD on their shots and will be a wonderful asset to anyone who has the love to give these beautiful babies! 

They are currently being fostered in Elmwood Park, NJ (Bergen County).
