PAWSitively PURRfect Pet Care

10/29/2024

12 years, 1 month & 14 days she has been by my side. She never let me out of her sight. NEVER. We shared a bond that comes about once in a lifetime.
She drew her last breath (unexpectedly) at home with me, at 1:30pm, today.
I still sit with her. Praying for a miracle… waiting to see her chest rise and fall, and life return to her eyes. I do not know how to say goodbye. God help me, I don’t.😞
I know life will never be the same: that there is a vast void, a silent emptiness waiting in the shadows for me… waiting for me to accept a truth my decimated heart shrinks in fear from. How do you pick up pieces of a broken heart that splintered into slivers as fine as grains of sand??? How do you move forward, when the one that has been beside you, *every single day* sharing ups, downs, and in-betweens for more than a decade, is gone???

Rest in peace, my beloved best fur friend forever. Your shadow will follow me all the days of my life.🕊️

Scouts build Rainbow Bridge at Spartanburg Humane Society

A Boy Scout troop helped build an earthly “rainbow bridge” for pet owners at the Spartanburg Humane Society.

He told us, “It’s time.”😞
15 years Chris gifted us.🫶🏻
I truly can’t feel past the heartbreak to put into words the depth of this loss- and THAT says more about the pain than I could articulate, anyways.💔
In 1947, Jackie Robinson told his Brooklyn Dodgers teammates, “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” If this is to be believed, then Chris’s life held priceless value. My family, and I, are better humans for his work in our lives.🕊️
So many memories… so much love…. One day, when I can see past the tears, I will put my best penmanship forward to compose a eulogy deserving of such a special fur friend.❤️‍🩹
Until then, please remember us in prayer: in particular, my son, Sam, who was Chris’s boy since the tender age of 5.💙
RIP (7/21/24) my beautiful, Golden friend…

🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED 🚨
Our shelter is FULL! We have no more kennels for large dogs, even after doubling up where we can. All of our boarding kennels for shelter dog emergency housing are also full. As a government shelter, we can't turn away dogs in need, but we need YOUR help to make space and save lives.

We're participating in the Bissell Empty the Shelters event and while we don't need our shelter completely empty, we urgently need at least 20 large dogs to leave today so we can continue operating.

Here's how you can help today:
1. Adopt: Open your heart and home to a new furry friend.
2. Foster: Temporarily care for a dog to free up space in the shelter.
3. Share: Spread the word to help us find homes for these wonderful dogs.

Please do not bring large dogs to the shelter today. We simply have no room left and need to focus on finding homes for the dogs already in our care.

Visit us today at 328 Furman Hall Road, Greenville, SC 29609. Your support is crucial and can make a life-saving difference. Thank you for your support! 🐾❤️
