Dear Iris,  (08/12/2013 to 07/02/2024)

Ever since we took you home on Earth Day of 2017, you’ve meant the world to us.  You were our best friend, our fierce protector, and snuggle-bug.

It wasn’t easy in the beginning, as you came with some emotional baggage from your puppy-hood.  But we worked through it together, and you blossomed and matured into such a good girl.

You taught us about patience, perseverance, and unconditional love. We’ll miss so many things about you: your non-stop cuddles, watching you run fast, playing ball, your black-jewel eyes, sleeping by the fire, and even the way you patrolled the deck and chomped on your kibble.  

We weren’t ready to say goodbye but that wasn’t up to us. We know you’re running fast and free under, around, and over the Rainbow Bridge.  We will never stop loving you and will miss you forever, our little girly-whirly.

My wife and I had to say goodbye to Dakota on April 3, 2024 after a medical emergency. We were so lucky to have her in our lives for over nine years.

We’ve never known another dog that loved people as much as Dakota did. She was so sweet to everyone she met, and she loved our cats as well. Her favorite person was my wife’s father who passed away in 2020.

She had the funniest habit of having to be tucked in under a blanket no matter where she was. She would whine if she wasn’t until you figured out that is what she needed.

We know she is running with our Doberman Emma who crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago. She will always be missed.

Miss Reba passed over to The Rainbow Bridge on November 19th, 2023.

We had a great 4 years with her and she was certainly a special character. 

Thank you for allowing us to take care of her. She became a beloved member of our family and this one will take awhile to get over. 

We lost our best companion, my wingman and just an awesome dog on November 10, 2023.  Lincoln came to us a shy youngster and lived the life of a spoiled Doberman.  He had this big adorable head that loved to be held.  He loved his mommy and daddy and showed it every day.  We are heartbroken but take comfort in knowing he is now playing with our other four dobies that crossed the rainbow bridge.  Love you always, Mr. Lincoln ❤️❤️❤️

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you Babe passed away quietly and unexpectedly in her sleep on Tuesday, April 4th, 2023.  She was one of the greatest and most loved Doberman's my family had owned.  Many people told us she should have been a therapy dog.  She absolutely loved everyone she met and as long as you had an open lap for her head, she was content to lay there.  Walks were her favorite thing to do, especially when she was allowed to run freely off leash, running back to you when she got a little too far ahead.
Thank you for what your organization does for these deserving animals.  She received a 2nd chance and I believe it was the best rest of her life.
