Ozzy Goes to the Rainbow Bridge

Sadly, Foster Mom Robin Leone writes, "Our foster Ozzy unexpectedly lost his battle with cancer on 3/10, 1 short month after he was diagnosed." Ozzy was one of a bonded pair. He came with a Norwich Terrier Harry, also known as Rocky, and Ozzy served as the seeing eyes for the little Norwich. After serving so honorably, Ozzy deserved nothing but the best, and Robin was able to provide it for him for the last months of his life. She cared for him, and saw him through his cancer diagnosis and decline, with courage, strength and love. Robin is another of those foster mothers who take in pups for their last remaining days so that they can go to the Rainbow Bridge knowing that they were loved and cherished. Thank you, Robin, you truly made a difference to this little soul. She gave him lots of love when he needed it most.

New Fosters Ozzy and and His Seeing Eye Boston Rocky

Harry is a 8 year old blind Norwich Terrier mix. He's amazingly sweet, and a bit rambuncious for a blind dog. Ozzy, the overweight Boston, is also 8 years old. The boys have grown up together and were surrendered to a Philadelphia shelter because their owner lost his home. It was heart breaking to see this grown man in tears, giving up his best friends. The shelter told the owner that it would do its best to keep them together, but couldn't make any guarantees. It seems that Harry is quite dependent on Ozzy. He uses him to 'see'.

NEBTR stepped in and since this is a heartbreaking story was determined to keep these boys together since they have lost everything else.

On a busy holiday weekend, a group of dedicated volunteers arranged for a transport of the boys to their foster home in upstate New York. Here are some pictures of that transport.

Thanks to everyone who helped out these poor little guys!
