Rest In Peace Alvin ❤️

From his family:

Alvin the Sheepdog…

After nearly 5 1/2 yrs together, I lovingly said goodbye to my handsome boy, Alvin. AKA, Alvie, Big Al, Alvinski. He was 9yrs old.

This brilliant, silly, back-talking, tolerant, happy, stubborn, food-motivated, Polish Lowland Sheepdog will forever herd my heart! He never ran away. He thrived on routine. He loved b***y, belly & bedtime massages. And when he developed diabetes, this “sugar-baby” looked forward to his shots every day, knowing he’d feel better (and get a treat).

Alvin was the best road-pupper. My dad used to say, “He travels better than a kid!” He was always happy to go on an adventure with momma. We racked up thousands of miles & memories together!

His last few days were a celebration. He had lots of visitors & ate whatever he wanted - even blue bell ice cream. Then, surrounded by family & loved ones on August 12th, Dr. Kee helped him cross the rainbow bridge. The service was exactly what Alvin deserved - peaceful, respectful & at home.

Love you Alvie! xoxo 💙🐾

Rest In Peace Buddy ❤️

From his family:

My wife Susan first saw him on the Humane Society website, a six-month-old Cocker Spaniel named Bandit. We decided to pay him a visit and were surprised to find him resting calmly in a room filled with barking dogs. The volunteer brought him to the visiting room, and it was love at first sight. We adopted him on the spot and changed his name to Buddy. As soon as we let him out into the backyard he started rolling in the grass and running joyfully. He knew that he was home, and so did we.
For the next 15 years, Buddy brought us endless joy. He loved everyone he met, never received a plush toy that he didn’t covet, and never failed to demonstrate his unconditional love for life and for us. He greeted everyone who came to our home with a happy bark and a toy in his mouth. All were welcome.
We know he’s in a better place now, but he left an empty space in our hearts that will never be filled. We still see him in his favorite places, hear his footsteps and the occasional phantom bark. We loved him for nearly all of his life and will honor his memory for the rest of ours.

Rest In Peace Truffles ❤️

From her family:

Truffles came into our lives 12 years ago when we adopted her as the cutest 8 week old rescue puppy. She was the best dog we could ever wish for and always wanted to be around our family, whether it was during bedtime stories with the girls, snuggling on the couch, helping Daddy with yard work, or watching Mommy exercise. She was so excited to greet anyone who came over and was always sweet and gentle. Although she couldn't control her happy tail/wiggle butt 🤣. Whenever we left the house without her, we would come back to find our shoes in her bed or her chair. She loved to steal and snuggle them. Her love for pasta noodles was like no other - she would do anything for one! We are grateful that she got to enjoy her favorite snack until the end. We love you Truffles, Rest in Peace Good Girl ❤️

Rest In Peace Holly ❤️

From her family:

Holly was the sweetest dog we could have ever asked for. She was so happy and easy going all of the time. She loved other dogs and was a constant companion to our other dog, Lily, for almost 14 years. She saw us through marriage, buying a house, welcoming both our boys, and countless other memories. She will be so greatly missed by our family and we are forever grateful for being able to love her for so many years.

Rest In Peace Tyson ❤️

From his family:

Tyson, aka “the great water buffalo”. He loved the water which is why the “Island” was his favorite place to visit. The island is Grammy and Grandpa’s house. We spent many days over the years at the pool together doing what we both loved most. You were my a-1 since day 1 and my absolute best friend for 12.5 years. You were always there, ALWAYS. You were simply the best dog I could have ever wished for. I miss you, so so much. - Jackie

Rest In Peace Hank ❤️

From his family:

For a reason, a season or a lifetime took on a special significance when Hank came into our lives. We thought we saved him as he was destined to be a bait dog for a fight ring, but little did we know that he would soon become the reason I am here today, and that was to get us through one of the most difficult cancer diagnosis that I’ve had to date. Every day he was by my side, keeping me company and giving me strength and love and letting me know that it was OK to not be OK because he was there with me unconditionally. Hank helped Dawn by being strong, gentle and compassionate when our lives were in turmoil. He was the best “big brother” to his older brother, Walter and his new little sister Annie Louise! It saddens us that we only had 5 1/2 years with him but those years we all lived our best life…playing ball, camping, swimming, snuggling and playing more ball! We all miss you and we will see you on the other side and you’ll always be my “soul dog” and 4evr in my heart❤️

Rest In Peace Maggie ❤️

From her family:

Maggie was a treasured family member gone too soon due to cancer.

She was a rescue at just a few months old when we welcomed her as a member of the family. After getting through the phase of chasing squirrels and chewing furniture she was super chill. She was up for most adventures that involved her family. She would spend who knows how much time waiting at the window for our return and greet us with enormous enthusiasm at the door as it opened. Maggie didn’t go for walks - she took her humans on walks. Her route on her time. haha.

One of her favorite activities was a picnic where she could lay in the grass and people and animal watch while enjoying the scenery of the location. One of her favorite picnic spots was at the Muny at Forest Park. She was a spirited personality that would wiggle her way onto a lap or snuggle next to most anyone (unless her favorite human was around).

At 12 years she is gone too soon, but her time was full of life and joy and she fought hard each day up to the very end to be amongst her family and give what she could to others. You are missed dear Maggie.

Rest In Peace Ray ❤️

From his family:

Our precious Ray came into my life in 2008 as stray found by a friend. We never knew his story but that’s when our story began. He was a perfect gentleman who filled my heart and provided a companionship that could fit my life perfectly. In 2012 my now husband entered our lives and the two became fast friends. Ray knew immediately how to get what he wanted from him. As he aged health issues began but we were willing to do whatever he needed. He was so easy to care for and love because he was such a kind gentle boy. He was always very vocal, played peek a boo in his early years, wasn’t much for toys except maybe a string, begged for treats, loved to sit back and watch when the house was full of people, enjoyed the warmth when the fireplace was lit, and provided us with so much love into his very last day.
We spent over 16 years together and I would do it all over again. You couldn’t have been more perfect. You will be in our hearts and missed forever sweet Ray. ❤️‍🩹🐾
Til we meet again🌈

Rest In Peace Pasha ❤️

Rest In Peace LulaBelle ❤️

From her family:

LulaBelle taught us more than we could have expected and loved us more than we could have hoped. That’s why we will miss her more than we could have imagined.

Rest In Peace Bear ❤️

From his family:

This past week, we said goodbye to our ever loyal rescue, Bear MacLaren. He was the best of the best, never wavering from John or I, the kids or his doggie sisters for 14.5 years. If you had a tear to shed, he was there to catch it. If you needed a resting place, he was there for you to lay your head (or rump). A fierce protector. Never wanted for much, just his five humans, all together, in our home, with a Tw***ie on the side. There is a void without him, but wowsers, did he really fill our hearts when we had him. ❤️ Rest in peace, old pal, we hope heaven has a door that needs protecting.

Rest In Peace Tanner ❤️

From his family:

Tanner was an incredible dog whose boundless affection and love touched everyone around him. He shared his time between my son's home and mine, making him my cherished grand dog. Kingsbury Square Park was his favorite spot, where he would joyfully run and play, bringing smiles to all who saw him.
Tanner was a beloved member of our community, known and adored by our neighbors who provided tremendous support when we had to say goodbye. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts, especially as the king of my son's front passenger seat, where he rode as his loyal companion for many years.
Tanner's many furry friends will miss him dearly, as we do, but they will continue their playful antics, keeping the squirrels in check and the tennis balls neatly in their place. Our hearts are heavy with grief, and we miss him more than words can express.
We are eternally grateful to Dr. Kee and her team for offering a compassionate service that allowed us to say goodbye in a peaceful and familiar environment, where Tanner could cross the rainbow bridge surrounded by love.

Rest In Peace Henry ❤️

From his family:

Henry was our sweet rescue boy. He came from a terrible neglect situation about 5 years ago, where he had lost all of his fur due to being left outside in a crate all the time. After he joined our family his beautiful blond fur came in! Our neighbors all loved to see him on his daily walks,
he was a neighborhood celebrity! His little body finally gave out and we helped him cross the rainbow bridge on July 2nd, 2024. I know he’s running free now and playing with all the others who went before him. Until we meet again, we love you Henry. 💜🐾🌈🕊️

Rest In Peace Buddy ❤️

From his family:

Buddy, the Buddha dog, June 14, 2011 – July 2, 2024. Everyone who met you fell in love with your sweet, gentle spirit. Even though you had a rough start to your life, you became my rock. You had a rocket recall and an actual finish. You loved your park walks and doggie day care fun times. You never met a mud puddle that you didn’t love. You never wanted to be more than ten feet from me, and you will now always be my Buddy, forever in my heart, my heart dog.

04/07/2024

Rest In Peace Hunter ❤️

From his family:

Hunter was our families best friend, a loyal companion for over 12 years. A family dog for most of the year, he was a veteran of over 10 pheasant hunting trips to South Dakota and a beach bum for 10 year’s worth of Spring Break vacations in Florida. Outside of those two weeks he spent his time chasing birds and squirrels, going on walks and hanging out with Bella, Max and the rest of his neighborhood dog friends in the backyard. He loved treats, often taking the family breakfast off the counter when nobody was looking and enjoyed Pup Cups every Saturday night.

Rest In Peace Bella ❤️

From her family:

Bella was a huge blessing to our family.
For 13 1/2 years she lit up our lives.
Although the smallest of all of our fur babies, she was larger than life.
She was the biggest little bundle of love! Hard to believe she was the alpha.
I’m so thankful that the LORD allowed me to care for and love her; HIS beautiful precious little Creation blessed me immensely!
Thank YOU LORD, for little Bella! ❤️🐶

Rest In Peace Beau ❤️

From his family:

Beau translates as "handsome male" in French. He definitely lived up to his name that my daughter chose after she found him him as a stray and brought Beau to our house.
Beau stayed with me the longest of any of my dogs that I've ever had. He was 16 years old when he passed away!! Beau was an independent spirit that liked to do things "his way." We enjoyed hikes in the woods every day together until he got older.
He was always a loyal and sweet companion who slept at the bottom of the bed every night.
I miss you, Beau, but I know you are free of pain now and are enjoying yourself wherever you are. I hope we get to meet again someday. Thank you for being in my life for so long. I love you ❤️

Rest In Peace Winnie ❤️

From her family:

We named her Winnie because she looked like a little bear when she was a young puppy.
Winnie was the best girl a human could hope to share a life with. She was so smart and such a joy, always wanting to be the first to greet family members and friends upon them entering the house. Her favorite spot was waiting by the door to greet anyone entering and to know when anyone was leaving, hoping she could go along.
Winnie brought untold joy to our family and friends and will be missed so much.
Ms. Winnie, now you can chase all the squirrels, rabbits and even the occasional deer, you want to.
If there is any justice in this world we will see you again on the Rainbow Bridge.
Love you Ms. Win
