Bridge Kids began with Meg who passed in her sleep, Velma couldn't wake her. That all should go that way! We also offer sympathy to Jan on the loss of BearBear, John on the loss of Rascal, Loyde & Lorraine on the loss of Boots.

Snickers & Frieda left adopted together with Frieda joining Sir Gus on 18 wheels for whatever time she has left. LUV & all that truck stop food just may surprise us all.

We are so grateful when we receive those gently used items. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Please continue to think of us & our little Cole Camp/Lincoln pound before throwing anything away that may be used for the fur-kids.

Petfinder.com continues to impress us with their new look. Please take time to check it completely out. They processed over 1,000 Happy Tails submitted by adopters. Those inspiring stories are used on their website and sent out to friends, partners & sponsors. Please submit your happy adoption stories to them.

We give thanks to each of you who so generously give of your time & talents to help these fur-kids as they wait patiently for their fur-ever homes. Rescue life is good, yet a fur-ever home is best. We could not do this work without your continued support. God bless you each & every one.
