In Memory of: Bentley
Dedication by: Paul and Sue Gabrielson

Bentley was the sweetest "Golden" we have had the privilege to know. He came to us as an "Oldie Goldie" but his heart was pure puppy. We will miss playing the tennis ball game that he always instigated and never wanted to quit. Now he will be able to play it forever. He will always hold a special place in our hearts.
In Memory of: Ashley
Dedication by: Chris & Paige Martin


Ashley "bug-a-boo", you touched our hearts with your unconditional love. Your sweetness and gentle temper will be what we remember you by the most. We are so glad to have had you for these past 4 years of fun. Rest in peace good girl, there are no thunderstorms in heaven.

In Memory of: Charlie
Dedication by: Julie Welwood Spencer

You were such a comical dog and gave so much joy and love to my parents. Your unexpected loss will change our lives forever. I miss you.
Love, Julie
In Memory of: Casey III
Dedication by: George, Pat & Ryan

Thursday July 12, you left our family; our home rings hollow without your presence. Your love and companionship was one of the greatest treasures we found ... and forever will you be cherished. Thank you for coming into our life Casey. In loving memory, you have our hearts.

In Memory of: Buddy
Dedication by: Pat and Amy

You touched our hearts and gave us unconditional love and for that we thank you. I hope there is a Chick-fil-a and some nice cool tile for you in heaven. We miss you when we ride around in the car and when we come home and no one greets us. Who will stay awake with me during thunder storms? You were a comfort and a friend.
In Memory of: Zack
Dedication by: Beth, Dick, Cody, Scout, Sooner Huntington

Zack crossed the Rainbow Bridge July 2006. He was our first rescue golden. He opened our hearts to 6 rescue siblings. Zack was choosey about making friends, so anyone who came to live with us had to pass the "Zack test". His favorite hangout was the back of our Tahoe Z71; the license plate read Zax 71. We miss you Zacky, till we meet again

In Memory of: Haley
Dedication by: Your Mom and Dad

Haley. We loved you and you returned that love tenfold. We will always remember you as our “safety dog” and a “fancy catcher.” You were the one who showed Charlie and now Chloe how to LIVE in the Hayes-Patterson houses! This last year you fought to survive nearly a year past your prognosis. WE LOVE YOU, SWEET GIRL.
In Memory of: Chance
Dedication by: Neil, Liz, Christine, Sandi, George, Annie, Peanutbutter, Kelis and Patches

Chance, you were our very special boy, a wonderful rescue ambassador, a great teacher and the best foster dad any GRR rescue could have. There is a deep ache in our hearts made better only by the knowledge that you are now frolicking at the Bridge with Magic, Ernie and the others who have gone before.

In Memory of: CHARLIE
Dedication by: Gary & Kelsey

Our precious CHARLIE, you brought us more happiness in one short year than we could ever imagine. We know our loss is your gain, as you are once again young and strong.
In Memory of: Gibson "Gibby" Wilson
Dedication by: Bill Burke and "Murphy"

When I first met my best friend Gibby 7 monhts ago, I could see he was very loving by the way he gently mouthed my Dad's wrist. When he got sick last week it broke my heart and last night I just wanted to lay with him because I knew he really felt bad. Today I know he's in a better place even though my Dad, Sandra and Justin are really sad and miss him too. The picture is of me between Gibby and my Dad. I miss you Gibby... Love "Murphy"

In Memory of: Major
Dedication by: Tiffany and Wade Diederich

Major, rescuing you was the best thing that ever happened to us! You immediately became a part of our family and we thank you for your love and compassion. You were born a Major but you died a General! You will live forever...
In Memory of: Lady
Crossed Rainbow Bridge: June 10, 2006
Dedication by: Pat, Charlie and Weezer

You came into the rescue unloved and uncared for. Sadly, a year later you left this world too soon. But you left happy and well cared for and loved by everyone who met you. Feisty and happy to the end. You were a gallant Lady and will be missed terribly by all.

In Memory of: Jake
Sept 20, 2005
By: Beth and Dick, Scout, Cody, Zack and Sooner

Quietly gentle Soulful brown eyes Came out of nowhere Into our lives Tennis ball catcher Lover of life Never a swimmer The light of our lives Suddenly sick Over too soon Somewhere in heaven Chasing stars and the moon

In loving memory, we miss you so...

In Memory of: Samantha
Dedication by: Susan, Jessie and Annie

My sweet Samantha - how I miss you!! You always brought a smile to my face - from your notorious eye for food to your funny way of swimming. You were a blessing to me and to your sisters. You put up a good fight. Now you are playing with Tootsie in Heaven.

In Memory of: Winston
By: Deb

Winston was a GRRNT dog needing rescuing at the age of 10. He turned out to be a wonderful addition to our home and a guiding "dad" to more than 100 foster dogs. We were together only 3 short years, but the quality of our lives together was tremendous. My heart longs to have "Winnie" in the kitchen, looking at me with his "food face". Hugs and kisses to my special Winnie.
In Memory of: Baxter
June 16, 2005
By: Donna, Dick and Risë

Baxter, wonderful boy, we are so glad that you chose us! Over and over we recall with a smile, the many goofy Baxter tales from the last 3 short yrs., and in this way the hole you left in our hearts is somewhat soothed. We will never forget…we love you.
