I have sad news concerning Silver Lake Rescue - our Vice-President Ellen Rhynard passed away on Friday. It was so suddenly. She has been in charge of the Cat rescues since she joined Silver Lake. Many of our volunteers looked to her for answers on caring for our kitties! She was a great friend to me and I will miss her every day. I joined the rescue in 2002 and she has always been a great support in animal rescue. Many animals - cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits have been rescued and adopted to wonderful homes because of her knowledge and efforts. Silver Lake would not be still going strong this many years without her love of this rescue and the animals we foster! I know she will be with us in spirit as we move on in our quest to stop the overpopulation of dogs and cats and educate the public on the need to spay/neuter their pets! Silver Lake will not adopt any of our fostered cats and dogs without age appropriate tests, vaccines and most important the spay/neuter!
Our condolences to her husband and her family from all of us in the rescue and those whose lives have been touched with the adoption of an animal she fostered!
