With heavy hearts, we helped our sweet foster "Snickers" cross the Rainbow Bridge this morning. 😢
This old boy's arthritis was getting worse, and he was progressively having a difficult time getting up and walking.
Yesterday was an especially bad day where he could barely stand, so we made the decision to end his suffering.
Rescued from a high-kill, over-crowded shelter just hours from euthanasia, he came to us for a second chance.
When he arrived, it was obvious that he had bad arthritis in his hips and knees and x-rays confirmed it. He was also diagnosed with liver disease and infected with heartworm.
In the short time we had him, he touched our hearts and we're so glad he was able to have at least a few months of soft couches, fluffy dog beds, belly rubs, good food, lots of treats, and absolute love.
His little sister, Reesie, stayed with him until the end - giving lots of goodbye kisses. 💔
(Reesie will be spending Christmas with our wonderful dog-walker, Andrew, so she'll get lots of extra love and attention during this difficult time).
Reesie is still up for adoption through Anna's Angels Dog Rescue
