We are sad to report that we lost our beloved Ellie in December. We were very fortunate to have her come into our family in August of 2019, and she quickly became a special member of it. She was as sweet a dog as I have ever met, very friendly and easy to be around….

We adopted Gilbert (GBR name Kaden #2980) four years ago in April 2018 at age 3. He was from China and while we never knew his background story, we were pretty sure if he could have talked, it would not have been a happy story. In spite of that, he was sweet, loyal, gentle and…
