Our Beloved Lost Ones
Hershey
Hershey was that once-in-a-lifetime dog. She knew my thoughts, felt my emotions, and followed me every step I took. We went everywhere together. We slept side by side. We shared the highest highs and the lowest lows. Cancer took her from me. Hemangiosarcoma on her heart was the culprit.
There will never be words that can truly express what she meant to me or how empty I feel without her. Hershey became part of my life in 2013, and she was fully mine from 2020 onward. During the lowest point in my life, she gave me a reason to keep going. Hershey showed me what unconditional love and companionship truly look like, and she gave me the strength I needed to reclaim my life.
She knew my heart, she felt my soul, and she never missed an opportunity to love me well. There will never be enough words to capture what she meant to me—but I know that those who knew my Hershey girl understand the bond we shared.
Every animal we rescue & every goal we reach will always be dedicated to my beloved Hershey girl.

Rufus
Rufus was one of our more recent rescues. This sweet boy wandered into the back yard of one of our clients. His hair was matted, and he was in dire need of grooming & medical attention. Our clients brought him to us & asked us to help! How could we say no to this face?
One of our groomers, Tammy, stepped in and offered her assistance to make him more comfortable, then we sought out the veterinary care he needed! Our clients requested that we name him Rufus, and we thought it was the perfect old man name for him!
While at our resort, he formed a very special bond with Terry, one of our Kennel Technicians.
Rufus is extremely missed by our whole staff, but especially Terry. He was one of ours, and we will remember him forever.

Dean
Dean came to our resort alongside his momma, Tammy—one of our amazing groomers. From day one, Dean took his job very seriously, using his ferocious bark to make sure everyone stayed safe. Once you earned his trust, though, there was no sweeter or more loyal love than what Dean gave.
Named after Tammy’s all-time favorite show, Supernatural, Dean truly lived up to his name as the leader of his pack. Crowley and Sammy are now helping their momma through this incredibly difficult loss as she continues to do what she loves here with us.
We are deeply grateful for the memories we shared with Dean, and we ask all of our clients to please keep Tammy in your thoughts and prayers during this time.
