Jamie Brianna's Legacy Fund A world where pet parents never have to give up, euthanize, or let their pets suffer. I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. Peace, Love, & Rock n Roll!

Jamie Brianna’s Legacy Fund has been created to honour my beloved daughter, Jamie Brianna Spielman, who died suddenly in November of 2017. In January of 2019 I adopted a dog named Hemingway; he was 12+ years old with multiple medical issues. Sadly, after only three months with me, he was ready to go to the Rainbow Bridge and I dutifully and tearfully let him go. I believe Jamie sent Hemingway to m

e and the two of them decided to kick my butt into gear. I’ve had the idea of creating an animal sanctuary for many years, but have struggled with how to make the dream a reality. Jamie and I share a passion for helping animals and people and I thank them both for inspiring me to pursue this passion. When I was little I thought I wanted to be a vet, that’s the only way I knew of to help animals. As I grew up, I realized I‘m not so good with blood and guts, so I gave up on the vet idea, but never lost my passion for animals. I became a vegetarian when I was in my 20’s and I raised Jamie as a vegetarian, a choice she carried on into adulthood, and she was raising her son as a vegetarian. There are a few things that stand out in my memory of Jamie and her passion for helping animals: I remember her telling me once about seeing a dead cat on the side of the road. She wrapped the cat in her sweatshirt and took it to a vet so it wouldn’t just remain on the road to be destroyed by traffic or wildlife. Then there was the time she was living in South Dakota and found a stray cat in the snow. She took the cat in and named her Ash. When Jamie had ”extra” food stamps, she would buy food for the homeless people with dogs who were hanging out near the grocery store. Probably the last time she ever did this, she saw one guy and a dog when she went into the store, and when she came out there were others who had joined him. She felt really bad because she had only bought enough for one. When my Jamie passed away, I knew I had to find a way to honour her and our shared passion. I had a few ideas rolling around in my brain and have now settled on this one: creating a fund to help people keep their beloved pet(s), rather than being forced to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender their pet to a shelter due to lack of funds for medical care, pet deposit for housing, basic behavioural training, etc. There are many ways to save animals‘ lives, a shelter intervention program is one. It not only keeps animals out of the shelter to begin with, it keeps them with the family who loves them. I think Jamie would approve because she would have been absolutely crushed if ever forced to make that heartbreaking decision; her babies were family, as it always should be. Jamie Brianna Spielman, I love you and miss you every second of every day, and I’m so proud to be your Momma.

World Kindness Day

Grief can feel like a lonely place, and sometimes it’s hard to believe anyone truly sees the weight we carry. But today, on World Kindness Day, let’s remember how even a small gesture—a gentle word, a listening ear, a warm hug—can remind someone that they’re not alone.

When we extend kindness to others in their grief, we offer them a moment of comfort and connection. If you’re feeling unseen today, know that your grief matters. And if you can, reach out to someone in need of a little light—together, we can lift one another, even on the darkest days.

Happy Halloween everyone!🎃

Today we are looking for a hospice foster for this sweet senior gal named Pebbles. She came from a local shelter who should never have adopted her out to a member of the public, they should have sent her straight to rescue.We will be contacting them to obtain records and understand why this happened but she has a murmur but is still in need of a dental. She has some vision loss in one eye we’re told as well as likely arthritis. Despite all this she’s playful with other dogs and a very sweet girl we’re told. She even runs around like a puppy. We are looking for someone to keep her until it’s time for her to say goodbye. This could be six months or two years. During that time, our rescue will pay for vet care and food. If you would like to open your house up to Pebbles, please reach out to us. Thank you!
