Sadie Snyder

April 30, 2015 – March 19, 2026
Sadie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 19, 2026 surrounded by her mommy, daddy, big sissy , little sissy and her Christopher. Sadie was the center of our world. Sadie was born April 30, 2015. We were looking so forward to celebrating her birthday with lots of ice cream. We hope she is getting all the ice cream she could ever want now and playing with her baby(stuffed lobster roll toy). Sadie loved snuggles under a blanket and loved to squeeze herself in between anyone who was sitting together on the couch. She had the most toys any doggie could want. We love you Sadie, the house is quiet, the bed has a lot more room. I’m not sure how our hearts heal from this. All we can hope is that we get to be together again someday. Love you Boopy

Bentley James

On March 17 (2026), we had to say goodbye to our sweet Bentley. He was a loyal companion in every sense of the word. No matter the day, he would always be there at the steps when I got home from work, tail wagging, running to grab a toy to greet me. Those little moments meant everything. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things to do. We take comfort in knowing he’s finally at peace. Bentley, thank you for your loyalty, and all the joy you brought into our lives. We will miss you every day. Run free, sweet boy.

Kassie Bonsell

We had to say goodbye to Kassie on Monday (3/16/2026) after having her for 10.5 years. She left us wrapped in our arms and forever in our hearts. How do I put this dog into words? Kassie was our first dog together, our best girl and our best friend. She was happiest when she was playing with her ball, running down the street or sharing a snack that she wasn't supposed to have. We knew the minute we saw that scrawny, spunky, mischievous puppy with the floppy ears running across the room with a flip flop in her mouth that she was going to be ours. I kept telling her when she was a puppy that she would grow into the best dog and she really did. We clocked many miles on walks, on drives and running in the backyard and I just hope we made her as happy as she made us. Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong. Kassie was really the best girl and I told her that until the very end.

Dake Hammaker

Drake's passing leaves a huge hole in my family. We were blessed to have him for 18 years and my four children's earliest memories include him. He was so laid back and accommodating about the many animal additions over the years. He is greatly missed and always loved.

Diesel Colestock

Diesel Dog came into our world by happenstance, a couple months after we said goodbye to our last lab, Chewey. We were doing a dog visit to socialize puppies with Canine Crazy Rescue. We met a 5 year old Diesel at the end of our visit. Rescued from Alabama and bursting with energy. We went into our second Covid shutdown the next morning. Soon after Thanksgiving, Diesel came home to us.What a beautiful boy who graced us with his love for the next 6 years. We miss you every day buddy. Love you forever - not goodbye, but til we meet again. Say hi to the others. Peace and Light Always. We just rescued a new guy named Waffle. Think D sent him our way.

Astrid McClucas

Astrid was a rescue. She was dumped at someone's house then was rescued. She was so loving and so cuddly. She loved to sleep and purr in your neck. Her favorite place to sleep was in my sons bed. She loved her treats and greeted us as soon as we got home. She was so loved and it feels like something is missing without her in our home. Our time with her was too short and she will be missed. ❤️

Thor Thunderbuns Summers

He was a rescue and he has had the best three years of life, and in that time, he has truly been the best and most lovable companion. Thor has helped me through the worst times of my life, always providing comfort and joy when I needed it most.. He will be forever missed the had quite a fan base on Tic Toc too! 🐰 👏 💯 Thank you for allowing me to share how much he means to me.

Karly Morgan

Karly was born on 2/4/2010 and rescued & adopted 12-weeks later by Tracy, Laura and Michael. She lived for over 16 years, until 3/2/2026. She quickly became the most loyal companion buddy to me - we saved each other! She was my daily focus - we walked everyday and spent every meal together. She was stubborn, sassy and loved to bark for her cookies. She loved the outdoors no matter the weather. Karly, thank you for being my constant shadow - if you weren't under my feet, your eyes were locked on me. I could not have loved you anymore than I did, and I always will. I know you stayed as long as you did, for me, but I want you to run now! Run Karly, run!

Carmen Kaja

I will miss my Carmen so much. She loved to paw at me every night until I let her sleep on me, even if it meant I couldn’t move or breathe 🤪. I was her person, and this was such a hard decision.

Chase Kennedy

Chase found us on a brutally cold day in January 2008. He was estimated to be 6-8 months old. We were "dog" people, not "cat" people. However, Chase made us "cat" people. We have many memories over the 18+ years with him. Here are a few: Chase loved to torment the dogs in his life. He was that annoying little brother. He would sit and stare at our one dog, Sophie, while she was resting on the couch until she would get annoyed and snap at him. Chase would simply smack her on top of the head and go about his day. Chase also got picked up by our local police department. He slipped out of the house one morning without our knowledge. He wandered up to a neighbor on an adjacent road. She called our township police because she didn't want him to get hurt. The police came and picked him up. Since no one was home at our house, the police took him back to the office. My husband was notified and immediately left work to go pick him up. When my husband walked into the police station, he found Chase sitting in the secretary's in-basket on her desk. They said he was so nice they didn't want to keep him secured in the back. Our dog, Frankie, was afraid of fireworks and thunder. We would retreat to our master closet where I would play music during these times to calm him. Chase always came with us for moral support to his canine pal. Perhaps, our fondest memory of Chase was his purr. We called him our little "purr" machine. We miss that the most now but know we did the right thing as his health started to fail. Fly high sweet boy! You are forever in our hearts.

Baxter Mattiko

Baxter passed away on February 17(2026), at home surrounded by his family who loved him very much. He was 13 1/2 years old. Baxter loved to swim in the pool and the Breeches. Baxter also never turned down the opportunity to cuddle in a blanket or a towel. He also loved a good deer antler. But most of all, he loved his family-humans, dogs and cats. He was a wonderful older brother to Frank and was forever the straight man to Frank’s antics. He also was a calm and caring brother to his cat brothers and sister. He was always gentle and kind. He was a best friend and confidant to his human sisters too. He never turned down an opportunity for a belly rub and a kiss. He will be greatly missed and always loved.

Harvey Geib

For fifteen years, Harvey was a faithful, fun-loving companion. He greeted us with enthusiasm, stayed near in ordinary moments, and filled our home with a warm, faithful presence. Though our home feels empty now, our hearts are full of the memories of such a beloved companion. Harvey’s life was a small but real testimony to the goodness of our Creator. While we feel the ache of goodbye, we rest in the hope that one day Christ will make all things new. Until then, we give thanks and entrust both our grief and our gratitude to the Lord for His kind gift to us.
Psalm 104:24: “O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all.”

Loki Moore

I said goodbye to my sweet Loki after 11 wonderful years. 🖤 Loki was an all-black, feisty boy with a big personality. He loved belly rubs (until he decided he didn’t) and would kick you just to keep things interesting. He followed me everywhere—even to the bathroom—because he always wanted to be close. He loved sleeping on my daughter’s blanket and was so patient with her, even letting her put glasses on him sometimes. Loki wasn’t just a pet, he was family. Our home won’t feel the same without him, but we’ll carry his memory and the love he gave us forever. Rest easy, Loki. You were so loved.

Izzy Hall

Oh My Pupper
1 Oh My Pupper, Oh My Dogger Oh My good friend, Izzy mine. You have passed, I cannot see you How I miss you, Izzy mine.
2 As a pup, you were a cutie, I didn't want you in my life. You arrived, just like a present By the welcome of my wife.
3 As you grew, we grew to love you. You went with us everywhere. An although not always perfect We were always glad you're there.
4 At the door, you'd alway greet us, Running back and forth to each. In the woods, you liked to walk there, And you always dug the beach.
5 But the years, they finally caught you, And your steps they slowed a bit. And I cried to see you struggle... Hard to stand and hard to sit.
6 Now at last your pain is over. You have left us here behind. Though we look, and cannot find you, You are often on our mind.
7 Oh my dogger, oh my darlin Oh my Pupper Izzy mine You are gone, I cannot hold you We sure miss you, Izzy mine.
8 How we loved you, how we miss you. Oh my Pupper, Budd-er Bean You are gone but not forever Heaven keep you Budd-er Bean

Bella Bobak

Bella
11/3/2013 - 03/03/2026
We found Bella on RescueMe.org. She located in Ohio. So we loaded up our other Newfie and drove to Ohio to have a meet and greet. Bella was listed as a 3 1/2 year old Newfoundland, but upon arrival she looked like an underfed lab. We immediately decided we were bringing her home- we would make it work. We believe Bella was a puppy mill dog but we loved her all the more. Her minimal prior vet records had three different birthdays listed so we chose Nov 3. We put some weight on her, taught her to potty in the yard and had her spayed. We showered her with a life of love and care. Bella followed her siblings footsteps and became a certified Therapy Dog. Bella visited many places and shared her slobber and kisses with all the new people she met. Bella loved to bark at the squirrels, the wind and my scarecrow. We laughingly said she was either singing or just liked to hear herself talking. And Snore- oh my- Bella could rattle the windows. I know we rescued Bella but I'm pretty sure she rescued us as well. We miss her antics, the snoring, the barking and her nig fluffer butt. We love you and you will remain in our hearts forever. Until we meet again, know the "I Loved You Best"

Crickette Metzger

Crickette was 18 1/2 years old when she crossed the rainbow bridge. She had a long life. I rescued her when she was 2 years old, to be a buddy with another rescue. Julianna who was very unsocialized. And it worked they were buddies with the older dog Beatty She was the last of the special trio. They will always be in my heart.

Bernie Walter

My dear, dear Bernie. My B, Bb, Bernito, Beaners, Garfield. You came to our house as a grown stray and made yourself at home. You never wanted much - just to be let outside, to be scratched and loved on and to sleep at my feet. You would look up at us with an eager face, almost as if you were smiling, in anticipation of a pet. Your favorite things included a roll in the sun, a soft spot to sleep, and your brother Chester - who misses you sorely. Your purrs were the loudest. As you passed away, you purred so loudly and then, it was… so painfully quiet. I still look for you outside on the patio chair snoozing away. My last and favorite memory of you will be you bouncing down the patio stairs and through the yard toward me when you recognized I was outside just a few days before your passing. I hope I did the right thing for you in the end. I’ll always wonder if I should have done more. You were the orange thread that held our cat family together and we never knew it, until you were gone. You were a good boy and your family will love and miss you forever. 🧡 🦋

Prince Raffensberger

Prince was a beautiful boy that we rescued when he was 1 year 9 months. He was the best boy. He loved his whole family. He was especially fond of his pet sister “Tinker” who we also adopted the same day. They shared 12 beautiful years together. Life will never be the same without Prince, we will miss him forever. Prince we hope you know how much you were loved <3

Khloe Houseman

Khloe was a very smart dog. She was our protector and confidant.She was a loyal companion and she always stuck by our side, literally, “shadow” and “Doorie” were just a few of her nicknames. She loved her collar and the sound her tags made. We called them her badges of honor. We like to pick it up and jingle them as if she’s walking in the room. We miss her in the little things she used to do, like being greeted at the door, or waiting under the table for falling food scraps, or when the ice machine would spit out an extra piece of ice, she was quick to gobble them up. Those little things mean so much, and are such great memories. We miss you every day, Khloe!

Gauge Stago

Gauge, was the most perfect dog anybody could ever ask for. He was snobby. He didn’t really like people petting him, but he loved people. He loved to sit out in the front yard and watch people go by. He was like the mayor of the development. He loved his walks, but he preferred to walk me. He did not like a leash on and if we did put a leash on, he liked to carry it in his mouth. He was so proud of himself He loved his toys and the tire in his mouth was his most favorite. He would give it to me 120 times a day because I would put little treats in it. He couldn’t get enough biscuits. I had to hide it because he drove me crazy. But I wish he was here to continue driving me crazy I miss. him every day and I will for the rest of my life. He is irreplaceable.

Abby Rouse

Turbo Sylvester was born February 24, 2015, his mother was one of our family cats. He has been with me ever since. He was very friendly, he loved people, anyone who met him remarked what a handsome boy he was with his beautiful green eyes and nose freckles. He loved popcorn and would try to nose his way into the bag! He was an escape artist, he was quite fast and would dart out before you even saw him. His name definitely suited him. I will miss his loud purr and how he would sit next to me wanting his petting time. He wasn't just a pet , he was family. He was very loved and is missed dearly.

Sadie Mae Walko

For 14 wonderful years, Sadie Mae filled our lives with love. She grew with us, stood by us and loved us through it all. In difficult times, she stayed close, as if she understood that her quiet love was exactly what was needed! We will always miss you sweet Sadie Mae. Thank you for loving us so completely!!

Abby Rouse

I took in Abby (seen here with her daughter Gizmo) as an abandoned kitten over 15 years ago. She was a loving cat who enjoyed sleeping on my chest. She seemed to always know when I needed cheering up. She will be deeply missed.

Enzo Ramirez

So many people have kindly told us how lucky Enzo was to have had us, but the truth is, we were the lucky ones. For nearly 15 years, he filled our lives with unconditional love, gentle loyalty, and a presence that made our house a home. No amount of time would ever have been enough. The emptiness we feel now is a reflection of just how deeply he was loved. Our hearts and our home will never be the same—but we are forever grateful for the gift of loving Enzo and being loved by him. He chose us, and we will carry that honor with us always.

Tigeress Boyce

Tigeress was a sweet stray who showed up at our home with 2 kittens one day & promptly adopted us. It took her a few years to realize that she actually enjoyed human contact, but in her later years she even came to enjoy a gentle belly rub! Who would've thought?? One frigid rainy day, while still an outdoor kitty, she found & brought home a newborn kitten. (We searched for the mama & other kittens but found nothing.) We immediately found someone to bottle feed the kitten & they ended up adopting him. Today he is very happy & thriving, thanks to Tigeress. Tig was a constant presence in our lives for so many years & we grew accustomed to her vocal interactions with us. She had a favorite toy that she dragged around with her from room to room like a child with a security blanket. If she heard someone jingle its bell she would come running to quickly snatch it up. It was only right that we buried her toy with her. What a blessing to have been chosen by Tigeress. She brought us so much joy. We loved her so much & really miss her 💜

Boadie Romonusky

Boadie was our family member for 20 years. He was like a brother to our daughter Naela, and was by her side since she was a baby. Boadie was such a good boy and loved to nap, cuddle, and sit with us. He also enjoyed going outside to lay in the sun, and visiting the neighbors on our street. He was so laid back and lovable. We will forever carry Boadie in our hearts, and cherish the memories of him. When we look at the orange sunset, we know he is watching over us. We love you Bo Bo!

Ace Easton

Ace♠️ You were a lot. A lot of love for everyone you met. You came into our lives 6 years and 3 days ago at just the perfect time when most of us got to spend the whole day with you. You’ve sat in on countless hours of high school, college and pre med classes. You’ve sat through OSHA 10 twice and OSHA 30. You’ve played hide and seek with kids in the closet during Zoom calls. You loved to roam endlessly through out the garden. Demanded to be lifted onto the sofa and were very particular about what was put in your bowl. And your head tucked in the yellow pillow just right next to your momma. You loved your momma more than anything. Unless someone had McDonald’s plain hamburgers for you. You spent 487 days in Camp Hill state prison in the HOPE Dogs program. That’s a lot of time locked up! We can’t thank the prisoners, volunteers, trainers and Hope Dogs staff for not giving up on him and finding us. I hope you already got your chipmunk ❤️🌈

Fluffy Dyarman

Fluffy was found in the back of my dad's work truck, and he's been with us ever since then. He was my boy, my baby. He loved to be wherever I was and just loved the attention from everyone. He loved to sleep and cuddle, always wanted to be with someone, and would let you know when he wanted in by loudly meowing outside the door. Fluffy simply loved being around anyone and just being held, and getting lots of pets. He also had the habit of stealing food off of people's plates, no matter how far away it was he’d always get to it. Even if it wasn't meat he’d take it; he once stole a blueberry muffin and just ran with it. He'll forever be missed.

Teddy Taylor

Teddy came to us as a stray and worked his way into our hearts. He loved baskets and the kitchen sink. He was always an outside cat who came in when he wanted to but would not stay. He was never our cat but we miss him nevertheless.

Daisy Harrison

Our beautiful little girl went to Heaven on 2-10-26 at only 8 years old. We adopted her in April of 2021. Daisy was a little 5 pound Calico and just the sweetest girl. She had EPI (a pancreatic insufficiency) and a severe Vitamin B deficiency. We were able to treat both with diet, Pancreatabs, a probiotic and Vitamin B injections. She thrived for a few years but then her symptoms recurred and we had to add a steroid to her medical routine. Again, she was doing so well but then developed diabetes, most likely from the long-term steroid use. But we all adjusted to the twice daily insulin shots and the once monthly glucose curves. Daisy never complained throughout it all and was so very compliant. We really thought we had everything under control until one evening, completely unexpectedly, she had what we now believe was a neurological event from which her compromised system simply could not recover. We are still numb and can't believe she is no longer here. Run free and healthy at The Bridge, dear, sweet Daisy - we will miss you forever.

Frank Eshleman

Our precious little Frank came into our lives in February of 2009 and brought us so much love and joy for 17 wonderful years. We were so truly blessed to have this little boy in our lives. Frankie you will be so missed, Mommy and Daddy loves you so very much.

Damien Reiker

Damien.
We had him for 17 years. He will be missed.

Lilo Quinn

Today, we honor Lilo. Our queen, our protector, our loyal shadow, our angel on earth for fourteen unforgettable years. From the very beginning, Lilo carried herself like she owned the place. And in truth, she did. She was the boss. Confident, composed, always aware of her surroundings. This was her kingdom, and we were blessed to live in it. But beneath that regal presence was a heart overflowing with love. She loved fiercely. She protected instinctively. She stayed close, always close. Lilo wasn’t just our dog. She was our best friend. For fourteen years, she watched over our home and our family. She stood guard when she thought we needed protecting. And in quiet moments, she rested near us, as if her greatest calling was just to be present. If food was involved, especially noodles or sourdough, Lilo was already in the kitchen before anyone said a word. Whether it was the faintest sound of noodles boiling or the smell of fresh bread baking, there she was. Alert. Hopeful. In charge. She took her role seriously. The queen of the kitchen ensured everything was handled properly. And then there were our family trips to Florida and those special days by the pool. While the rest of us moved around, Lilo lounged like the royalty she was. Relaxed. Content. Soaking up the sun, watching over her people, even in vacation mode. There was something perfect about seeing her there, calm, warm, at peace. Our little Havanese queen was fully at home wherever her family was. Fourteen years were not enough, but what a gift those years were. Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, saw all creatures as reflections of God’s goodness, brothers and sisters in creation. He understood what we feel so deeply today: that animals are not accidents in our lives. They are gifts. They are entrusted to us. In loving them, we reflect the heart of our Creator. Lilo was one of those gifts. The best gift. She taught us loyalty without condition. Love without hesitation. Joy in the simplest things. If heaven is a place where all of God’s goodness is made whole, then surely the love we shared with Lilo has a place there, too. We know our little queen is resting peacefully, waiting and watching. Lilo, our angel on earth: thank you for fourteen years of companionship, protection, laughter, and love. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for ruling our home and our hearts so completely. We will miss your paws in the kitchen. We will miss your watchful eyes under that white eyebrow. We will miss your presence by our side. But we will carry you with us in our memories, in our stories, in the quiet spaces where your love still lives. Run free, our sweet girl. You will always be our queen. We trust that in God’s perfect care, you are at peace. Until we meet again.

Mira Buchanan

Memories of Mira
Mira was a once in a lifetime dog. She was cute, funny, charming and knew just when you needed a hug. She was a rescue puppy from a parking lot in Havre de Grace, MD. She had the most pampered 10 year life, and she deserved every luxury we could give her. When the cancer battle was lost, it broke our hearts. She was my husband's soul dog. He has bouts of PTSD and Mira helped him to stay grounded and focused on the present instead of the past. Mira loved everyone, she never growled at a single soul. Always a wagging tail and a smile. She had a few great loves in her life, one was my husband, and the other was the nightly "Dentalife Chew" She loved those things! My husband could get her to howl with him and they would howl together, loudly! She was just the kindest, sweetest dog anyone could ever have asked for. She was just so much more than a dog. She was our furbaby and we loved her so very much. There will never be another like her.❤️

Millie Feltner

We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl Millie, she was my first dog and I will cherish those memories forever, she loved camping, going for rides and fresh chicken eggs and cuddling with us, she had a special personality that we will miss, we always said it was Millie’s world and we were just living it in.

Rosco Cohick

There are so many memories that I have of him I had him for his whole 11 years of life he was my old man. He ate anything and slept all day on my lap on the couch he didn’t like my attention anywhere else but him, every time we went some where didn’t matter if there were other people or animals he was stuck to my side like glue. He hated pool noodles would chew them up but never eat them. He played tug of war with his younger sibling bobo. He got his head stuck in a plastic pumpkin once when he was a puppy. He was born with a deformity with his legs and we got them to straighten out by wrapping them for 6 months. He was my very first child. I will miss him and never stop loving him.

AJ Hanna

We had to let our beloved AJ pass to the Rainbow Bridge as his chronic back pain caused him to stop eating. He would have turned 12 in May (2026). AJ was my first show dog & I showed him to his AKC Championship. He also lure coursed, did Whippet racing & competed in Rally. His favorite thing was to be at home & chase & catch critters in the yard- rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, voles & the occasional snake! It's what Whippets were bred to do! He had the sweetest personality & wanted nothing more than to lay with us & cuddle. Our two other Whippets miss him also. Till we are reunited at the Bridge, farewell, love you...AJ

Maggie Hacker

Tribute:
January 9, 2026
Dearest Maggie, My very best friend, my confidant and sidekick for 7 of your 11 years. Your patience, loving and never complaining attitude will be forever etched in my memories. Love forever- Your Mom

Molly Caulfield

When Molly came into my life, I thought I was rescuing her. In truth she rescued me. She is forever loved.

Bailey Nichols

Bailey came to me as a rescue from a bar in Florida at 2 a.m. in the morning. I had seen a coworker post about her needing a home and that she was rescued from the humane society but was going back if someone didn't take her. I immediately messaged Ray and said, "I want her." I had an instant bond with her. Since I was renting and my landlords lived next door, I couldn't get away with having a second dog. I didn't care; I fell in love with her instantly. I left for Pennsylvania the next day for a week-long visit, and she hopped right in the car and was calm, lying in the backseat with Brandi for the whole 16-hour drive. I thought maybe I could find a home for her in Pennsylvania, but I didn't really make much of an effort because I knew she belonged with me. When I came back to Florida, my landlords were asking if I had found a home for her. I finally said, "I'm keeping her, and I'll find somewhere else to live if it's an issue." They opened their hearts and let her stay. I'll forever be grateful because I was in love with the beach I lived on and the street. The neighbors fell in love with her. She was my first rescue, and boy, did she throw me for a loop. All the other dogs I owned were raised as puppies. She had fear aggression, especially with food or if she felt threatened. There were two instances where she bit another dog, both times when I was away and she was in someone else's care. I think she thought I abandoned her. I rarely left her since.She started her life in a home for four years, and the owners gave her up after moving overseas. She was taken to the humane society and rescued but then was bounced between a few different homes until she came to me. She bit Brandi a few times over food. The thought crossed my mind to rehome her, but something in my gut told me it was her fear. And Brandi would always forgive her, and they would be playing the next day. Countless people close to me said I should find a new home for her. I just couldn't give up on her, and it was like that until the very end. I struggled hard. Giving up on her was never an option, so to euthanize her felt like I was giving up. However, she lived a long life and had been declining slowly since summer. I wish I had known cancer was growing inside her. She hid it from me; she didn't want me to know how sick she was. Christmas time was when the first serious symptoms came on. I took her to the vet, and they treated her for a bladder infection. Not even a month later, I'm told she has terminal cancer. She declined rapidly. I had to let her go, but I never gave up. I held her close till the end, and she looked up at me with those big, beautiful brown eyes. She was hanging on, staring into my eyes for a few minutes after the first sedation. She didn't want to give up and held on quite a bit until she fell asleep. She went peacefully at home, which is what I prayed for. 🙏 It was extremely difficult to let her go. I asked countless questions. The house feels empty, and I am grieving, but she's still here. She won't leave until she knows I'll be okay. I plan to rescue another dog in her honor. She taught me to fight for somebody despite their weaknesses. She ended up turning into the most loving, caring, sweetest dog after I took the time working with her...with a bit of sass. She taught me to love hard. I never gave up on you from the beginning and at the end. Her life was filled with adventures, car rides, beach time, hikes in the woods, sunsets over the Gulf, Tennessee, camping in PA, OCMD, walks out the wazoo. When we moved to Pennsylvania in the summer of 2022, she adjusted very well. Also, she never judged. You don't know how many times I've pulled up to a gas tank with her in the car on the wrong side after having the same car for years.😂 She knew what a cow was, a deer, a chipmunk, a squirrel. Her intelligence was impressive. Dogs are the best thing on this planet. Bailey brought me so much love, joy, laughter, and comfort. I still can't believe how fast it all happened. Four weeks ago, they were treating her for a bladder infection; four weeks later, she left this earth. She will always be my B, my pumpkin, my cupcake, my sass ass, my sunshine on a cloudy day. Now my heaven angel and reunited with Brandi in heaven. She loved to chase squirrels. I told her before she passed to come as a squirrel when she checks on me. 🥰🐿😂 Tito, her cat, is really lost without her, and the other cats, plus my mom's dog, have all been looking for her. They are grieving too, and my mom too. That's how much love she gave us all. Her heart was bursting with love every single day. 💓 I was very nervous when Callie had kittens because I thought Bailey would think they were toys. Nope. Not her. She carried them in her mouth like they were her babies. Another example of how huge her heart was. ❤️ I feel a little better after writing this tribute to her life and going through photos of the wonderful life she lived. Fly High B 🐕💔😇

Maximus Shank

Max was the happiest, most loving dog. Everyone who met him loved him! He traveled up and down the east coast from the time he was a pup. He was perfectly behaved staying in vacation homes and loved camping. He will be missed so much! No other dog will ever replace him. He was one of a kind!

Moose Cain

We saw you posted for FREE on Craigslist and didn’t want you to end up in a bad re-homing, so we contacted owner and went and picked you up. You were a handful, but you were scared in a new situation at 4 1/2 years old. You were super smart, quite a character, loyal and an expert manipulator for treats. As mostly Lab, you detested water (figure that out)! We miss you so much, the house is too quiet. You took a piece of our hearts when you left us. You are now free of pain to chase all the bunnies and geese of your dreams.

Gracie Lou Durf

Gracie Lou was a spunky, full of life, loving furbaby from the night we brought her home until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge December 15, 2025. When we came home from work she and her sister would greet us by singing the song of their people. Gracie loved her walks and would herd us to hurry us out the door and when we would get parked she would get verbal with excitement. We miss you little girl and we love you.

Joplin Geppi

We adopted Joplin from Unconditional Pet Rescue in Arkansas on January 3,2015. She was 2 years old and was born at the rescue so that was the only home she ever knew before our family adopted her. We had adopted an older Pomeranian a few months before who was a puppy mill dog. She never learned to be a dog until Joplin helped her come out of her shell. She would follow Joplin in the yard and loved their walks together. They even went sleigh riding with our daughter. We only had Frisky 13 months, she passed away from cancer. We waited a few months to adopt another dog, a Pomchi , Lexi Rose who became Joplin’s BFF. Lexi passed away in 2021. I am sure they were both waiting for Joplin at the Rainbow Bridge when she finally crossed over. Joplin was a Black Lab/ Chow mix. One of her favorite things to do was lay in the sun in our backyard. Our family will love and miss our sweet Joplin❤️

Ari Gold Viswanathan

Ari (Ari Gold) Viswanathan
He was definitely my soul dog, and I miss him greatly every day. He was a little dog with a huge personality. He loved unconditionally, and was our child being with us through many ups and downs. He never let his momma out of his sight. Some of his favorites were playing catch with his favorite blue and yellow Kong ball, walks daily at the park, rides in the car, going anywhere with us, blueberry greenies, his favorite Yeti cup, ice cubes, kong treats, doggie ice-cream, and rotisserie chicken. He was so smart, had a huge heart, and made us laugh with his human-like expressions. He was a happy healthy dog, until an incident in February 2025, when we took him to our vet for what we thought was an upset stomach, and ended with a mass on his spleen and splenectomy. He recovered in record time. Unfortunately, two weeks later he was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma. He completed his last chemo on June 2nd and was doing outstanding considering the odds against him. He was back to normal until a few weeks before he passed on November 13, 2025. We cherished all the time we had with him after his diagnosis, we walked daily and took a picture at the same spot each day. We spent the week after his last chemo with our entire family at the beach, a memory we will cherish forever. We love you Ari and miss you and hope you have all of your favorites in heaven. All our love until we meet again.

Nutmeg Smith

Nutmeg you were a great dog and good companion, you will be sadly missed.

Buster Cramer

It is still so hard not having him with us. He was such a good dog. We rescued him May 2010, best money ever spent was that adoption fee. The moment I seen his picture I fell in love and had to adopt him. We were so blessed to have been the chosen family for him. The unimaginable love and memories……..

Zeke Laganosky

When Zeke passed away on December 31st (2025), he left behind hundreds of photos and thousands of memories. It's nearly impossible to briefly chronicle his impact in his short fourteen years. He offered love and support, often knowing when an extra cuddle was needed or staying close by during illness. He loved cuddles, resting on a lap or, more frequently, resting so that he laid heart-to-heart. As a kitten, he often snatched pens from hand and raced down the hallway with them, a comical view of a tiny kitten carrying a pen much longer than his torso. Later, he enjoyed attacking unsuspecting feet as they passed by, whether he was lying in wait under a couch or under a bed. He loved vocalizing concerns, making known when family members forgot to give him treats or announcing his displeasure at a scolding. He also loved String, a discarded drawstring found in a drawer many years ago; over the years, it needed to be washed, gently tied together and saved for special one-on-one play sessions due to its fragility. String now rests with Zeke. But, there were also the quiet moments, usually sleeping on the bed at night, following to make sure things were okay when middle of the night awakenings resulted in talk sessions in the kitchen. His purrs were the loudest imaginable and soothed on horrible days. During his final year, Zeke endured numerous vet visits, multiple medications, and the ups and downs that come with cancer and treatments. He was brave. Even on his last days he made sure that he provided extra cuddles and very soft purrs. At this writing, it has been a little over two weeks since his passing. Life goes on, but it will never be the same. The pain will slowly subside, but there will always be a part of life missing.

Tonka Harr

Tonka had such a personality and was always wanting to be under foot and be with his people. He had the biggest heart and was always trying to make you happy. He is truly missed more than words can describe.

LilBit Spotts

LittleBit came to us early 2007, she was found by a family member on the side of the road, all alone. She was just a little thing, only about four or five weeks old. We took her in, bottle fed her until she could be re-homed. On the way to drop her off, we had a change of heart. 5 year old me refused to let her go. From there on, she became part of our family. Her favorite thing to do was to play with her fur siblings, especially our late Chihuahua, Burd. LittleBit was the most friendly cat you could ever meet, there was never any coaxing her to come to you, she was already there trying to rub on your glasses or the edge of your hat. She loved children and babies because she tolerated just about any kind of attention, even if it was being pushed around in a stroller. Her favorite toy wasn’t a mouse, a ball, or any toy designed for her, it was a fabric glasses case that she would ‘hunt’ in the middle of the night, glasses included or not, she didn’t care. LittleBit was a very special kitty indeed, but one thing that made her so unique is that she couldn’t meow, all she could get out was a quiet squeak, but miraculously at 3AM or when you weren’t looking at her, she was the loudest in the room. Our sweet girl was the perfect companion for all nineteen years of her life. We have given her so much love and she has done the same for us. We knew her day was to come eventually, but we are so grateful that we had a long life with her. We miss you so much, LittleBit, and we hope that you’re playing with Burd on the other side. ❤️

Gunnar Odell

In memory of Gunnar
I never wanted this day to come. I didn’t want to say goodbye because this one means forever. You will always be in my heart. 🐾❤️

Patron Grund Williams

Patrón was my best friend for 14 of his about 17 years of life. He was the sweetest boy and was attached to me at the hip. We have been through more together than any human or dog should have to. When I met my husband and moved in together the goodest boy loved him from the beginning and when we brought home his sister Mia they became inseparable. That bestest boy had seen me and the highest of highs and lowest of lows and never faltered. He stole my heart 14 years ago and took a piece of it when he crossed that rainbow bridge.

Chase Bitler

Chase Bitler the most loyal, lovable companion. It’s hard to believe that Chase “moved out” almost a week ago, it feels like an eternity. The end for me starts with remembering the beginning. We found him through the Furry Friends network. But when we applied for his adoption, it was too late, he had already been adopted. Chase was later returned back to the rescue because the home had another dog who was not fond of their new sibling, Chase. And that’s where our lives were forever changed. Chase was available (again) for adoption and found his way to us. If the family who returned him only knew the beautiful, kind, whimsical, soul they missed out on. Stephanie Grossnickle was his foster mom. She’s an angel on earth. She watched over our baby boy until we found him. It brings me peace to believe he was spared from who knows what kind of circumstances. When we rescue dogs, the saying goes, “Who saved who?” Chase was truly a savior, our savior, and will never be replaced. My mother told us to keep his name because he “chased” our blues away. I’m still adjusting to this new normal without Chase. With each passing day, I’m learning—trying—to find peace in knowing he had a good life, was deeply and endlessly loved, and is now in a better place, free from pain. I imagine him chasing squirrels, jumping into creeks, hanging his head out the car window, sitting on ALL furniture, soaking up the sun, rain, and snow in the backyard, and keeping our loved ones who have passed company. We should learn from Chase’s life and live as he did: enjoy the outdoors, be playful and whimsical, be kind, sit wherever you please, jump into the creek, and bring joy to everyone around you.

Nala Adkins

My sweet Nala, I rescued Nala when she was about a year and a half. She was skin and bones you could see her ribs and her spine. I nursed her back to health. Dogs know when you saved their lives. She was my shadow she went everywhere with me. She was so large she always had a presence about her but she was all cuddles. We called her Mama because every new puppy we rescued she took care of and helped train them. She was perfect, my soul animal. I will miss her dearly. It's hard to send 1 picture when I have thousands...
