This precious puppy was found alone by the side of a road back in 2010, looking scared and lonesome. We took him into our home, named him Pete, and he quickly became part of our family. For over 15 years he blessed us with love, laughter, and unconditional loyalty. He went on family vacations, attended birthday parties, and loved us through the loss of our older dog, Bud. Pete was loved by everyone who met him, including folks who didn’t particularly care for animals. We miss him deeply every day, but we are thankful for the 15 years he was part of our home. We see Pete in some of the habits of our young dog, Boone, who had the past year to learn from Pete about our routines and expectations. Pete was one-of-a-kind, for sure. Our pet, our companion, and our unconditional friend, who will forever be loved and never forgotten. This precious little “rescue” rescued us. Benny & Mary Susan Judd Russell Springs, KY P.S. One of my sweetest memories of Pete is when he would hold his leash in his mouth when we would take our walks, like he was walking me.

Ellie was a stray who showed up at my sister's house 15 years ago. She came to live with me because I have a large fenced-in yard. Ellie, however, still wanted to run and she kept me on my toes making sure there were no places in the fence she could get through. Ellie was a free spirit and lived life to the fullest. She was smart and happy. Only in the last couple of years did she settle down. She was 16 and had cancer. I just know that my "Wild Child" is up in Doggie Heaven with a healed body, running like the wind in fields with no fences.

Sweetie came into my life shortly after we moved to Kentucky. She lived for two years . Then she decided to cross the rainbow bridge. She joined Peanut and Baby. Sweetie will always be my precious Sweetie.
