Kendall’s time with us was far too short, but he knew love until his last breath.

He lost his brief but fierce battle with what appeared to be a bone marrow disorder. His immune system was attacking his red blood cells, leaving him critically anemic. At first, he responded well to high doses of prednisone and antibiotics, and for a while, we had hope. But exactly two weeks later, Kendall crashed.

Last night, he enjoyed a big homemade dinner, took his meds, and went to bed like usual. But by morning, everything had changed. He had vomited, was too weak to walk, and his heart rate had skyrocketed to 172. His breathing had become labored, and we knew it was time to let him go peacefully.

Kendall’s life before us was cruel. He came from a hoarding situation where dogs were kept in outdoor pens and beaten apart with wooden boards when fights broke out. That trauma never fully left him, but despite it all, he was the sweetest boy. The photo with his swollen eye was taken the day after we brought him home—just one of many signs that he had never received the care he deserved. But with us, that changed. He healed, he thrived, and he was happy. Until today.

Run free, Kendall Bendall Dog. You were so loved, little buddy. We wish we had more time.

When you’re “dangerously anemic” and your immune system is attacking your red blood cells, but you’re still the sweetest little guy…

Kendall started not acting right about a week ago. I kept a close eye on him throughout the week, watching for more symptoms than “ain’t doing right” and brought him to and headed home with some meds to hopefully make him perk up

We are sad to report that Bentley lost his fight with large B cell lymphoma a couple days ago. He was diagnosed June16, 2024 and we opted for chemo for as long as he had more good days than bad. He had very few bad days, mostly just a day or two after treatment, and was spoiled rotten on the good days. He was always treated to chicken nuggets on treatment days.

In the end, the lymph nodes in his neck began to greatly enlarge and restrict his ability to comfortably eat and ultimately breathe, so we opted to let him go. Thank you to Dr. Mirus at West Liberty Vet Clinic for her care and compassion (both with animals and humans) during this journey.

Bentley was rescued from a horrid situation along with over 100 other dogs back in May 2020. His absence is painful today at Back Roads Pups but we are happy we could do our best to provide him the life he deserved.

Bentley sure loved his toys, as you can see from that big smile in his toy pics.

Happiness is:
Farm life!

River has lived on the farm since he was just a couple of months old. Sweetest boy. He and his litter mates were found abandoned on a river bank back in August 2016. All but River and his brother, Onyx, were adopted.

Happiness is:
nature’s toys 🐶🐾🍂🍁

Racer spent wayyyy too much time in a crate. He came to us severely malnourished and open sores at the points of each hip bone. His foster, my mom, fattened him up and had him vetted. She gave him the chance that he deserved.

He is flourishing and LOVES toys. He. Is. A. Superchewer! Luckily he only chews on toys. And sticks. 😂
