Long before we had a name or a website or non profit status we were helping dogs. We started by volunteering at a local shelter. We noticed that the small dogs were adopted very quickly but if they were older or had a physical disability they were not. Small dogs also had a much harder time adjusting to shelter life. One dog in particular was at the shelter for a long time and was so quiet you hardly noticed that she was there. She was not doing well so we decided to take her home. She was so relieved to be out of the shelter and just watching her sleeping soundly in a cozy bed made us smile. After meeting her rescuing senior and special needs dogs became our mission ...
Maggie was one of our first "forever" fosters. She was at least 12 years old. A scruffy black terrier who appeared quite frail. I say appeared because once we got her home she was the only dog we had that would sail over a baby gate. Although she was very quiet she always had a gleam in her eye and I am positive that she was quite a character in her younger days. Maggie had terrible dental disease and we found out that we could not have her teeth cleaned because her kidneys were failing. Incredibly, Maggie lived for 8 more months. Maggie will always be in our hearts and we know that she is waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge.
