In Memory of Abby (2007-2024)

I adopted Abby at the age of 6. She was an abused little girl. She was terrified of men and hands in general. It took about a year, (but) with the help of my other dog and lots of biscuits, Abby became social and accepting of all people.

For the last three years, Abby has been my only dog and of course my constant companion. I lost her on 2/6/24 at the age of 17. I was so
proud of her and do miss her so.

Pet Membership is given in loving memory of my dear Abby.

In Memory of Cliff Samulski

Cliff was a rescue pup from the Cortez area, that my brother Joseph Samulski adopted and made part of his family.

“… but never before had he seen any dog that revealed at first glance all the qualities a dog should have.”

Cliff was a beautiful spirit that instantly became a valued member of the family, and quickly matured into a wonderful companion and friend. Cliff passed away recently of natural causes.

We wanted to honor and celebrate Cliff’s life, by ensuring that his passing resulted in a benefit towards other pups in your area, needing assistance and adoption. Thank you kindly.

In Memory of Ruger

In Memory of Cory

Our wonderful friend, family member, and companion, Cory died on July 8, 2019 of complications from a tumor. She was a For Pets’ Sake foster care dog who came to our house on Dec. 6, 2004 at the age of 6 months. She celebrated her 15th birthday with us on June 6 of this year.

Jack and Cory, occasionally accompanied by granddaughters, went for a walk almost every day. Her first of many Turkey Trots was 2005 accompanied by Pilgrim Jack.

Cory was loving and caring and enriched our lives beyond words. No matter how crazy Judy and my world became she was there to say with big brown eyes and a wagging tail, “Relax, it will be okay, I love you.” We look forward to being together with her for eternity.

In Memory of Bailey

My wonderful friend and granddog Bailey died in late August 2017. My daughter Anne and I shared his care for 14 years after she rescued him from the back of a pickup on a hot summer day.

We went for thousands of walks. He swam, played with favorite duck toys, and loved our grandchildren. We shared innumerable good times.

He loved tomatoes, carrots, and ice cubes. Walks were an adventure because he loved to smell almost anything and everything. I look forward to our reunion when my time on earth comes to a close.
