    I'm so so sorry to hear that Shelby crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I'm so happy that you Lee were able to show Shelby love, a love he otherwise would not have experienced. Gone but never forgotten. RIP Shelby, run free over the Rainbow Bridge with all our fur babies that have gone before.

    Your beautiful, beautiful Shelby has graced you and all of us with his remarkable spirit. A gift that will remain with all of us. Now may you find peace in knowing that our dear, gorgeous boy is playing in God’s garden -100% whole, healthy, and filled with eternal joy. 💙💙💙 Thank you, Lee - you, too, are a gift beyond gifts.

    Lee, I started to cry instantly. I had the privilege to live with my dog from a shelter for 10 months. I will be forever greatful for this experience. And my best friend summed it up just like that: "Barry was your dog and you were his human".
    And that says it all...

    Thank you, Lee, for caring for and loving Shelby, who now knows love and trust. The time with these special dogs is never long enough but they also teach people to take heart and rescue dogs that may be a bit rusty in the trust department. Senior dogs deserve loving homes so please let's not forget them.

    When my beautiful lab was ready for the rainbow bridge she waited for me to drive the 21 hour drive back to her( i was on vacation) to pass in my arms !! I drove nonstop to get to her. She literally passed 15 minutes after I walked in the door. I told her she was the best dog ever & it was ok to leave me. That was 8 yrs ago. I still feel the love she gave me. Fast forward, I now own ( or should I say he owns me😅) a beautiful goldendoodle that we share the same beautiful bond. Dogs are the best !!

    My condolences on Shelby's passing. He is no longer in pain and is heaven with God and playing with Maeve. Lee, you are a beautiful soul who brings love and comfort to these dogs that have been discarded. Without your sanctuary many dogs would not have gotten to live their best life. These past two years Shelby spent in the loving arms of his dad and that's the way he chose to spent his final moments. Rest In Peace Shelby 🙏🙏🙏🕊💙🕊💚🕊💛🕊🧡🕊💜🕊🤍🕊❤

    Lee's love for all the other animals must be what keeps him going despite all the loss and resulting grief he must experience. Grief can be such a heavy burden. The other animals' love and companionship probably help lessen the heartache. May everyday be filled with tender mercies.

    We lost our Skeeter a week and a half ago. What the vet thought was a bladder infection turned out to be internal hemorrhaging. It was too late by the time we realized something was really wrong. He had lost too much blood and was in too much pain. I was at work when my parents had the vet relieve his suffering. I still pick my shoes up off the floor even though he’s not here to steal them.😢 We have 16 rescue cats, but it’s quiet without our little Moe Squito. He got his name because he was a biter. I’m not sure most families would have put up with that, but he loved our cats, so he was perfect for us. They miss him too.😿 Shelby’s attitude reminded me of Skeeter.❤

    This is one of those that brings tears to my eyes. No dog should experience what Shelby has gone thru, and for so long . Thankfully an Angel like you swooped down and took him in. He so needed your love and you gave it to him The look in his eyes when he leans against you says it all.I think he knew his time was near and he needed the warmth of your body and those big, loving arms, hugging him. He knew he was finally loved. I cry as I write this because so many animals are like this...mistreated and abused! Thank God there are amazing people like you to sooth their wounded souls. I love you for what you do , may God bless you ❤💞❤💞❤

    I'm sorry, Lee. I can see he loved you immensely. Every animal should be this fortunate. To have someone like you who cares for them so well and loves them so very much until they cross over... I hope we get to be with our pets when we pass. If it was a definite, I think it would erase the fear of death from so many people's minds.
