Our sweet girl Pepper crossed Rainbow Bridge this week. A bright light left us too soon. Pepper was the sweetest, most loyal baby. She gave us so much love and was so loved by all of us. Heartbroken doesn’t even begin to describe the feeling. Thank you for filling our lives with such joy, Pepperdog!! You will be so missed.

We adopted Ella in the summer of 2012 along with her brother Duke. She passed away January 8th, 2026.

We adopted Harmony from your shelter in September of 2020. I wanted to give you an update on her. We had 5 years to love her, unfortunately she passed away at the end of May. Harmony was born with a rare brain cyst that grew large enough to press on nearby brain areas, causing swelling and damage over time. This was a slow-developing, congenital problem rather than something she “caught” or developed suddenly. We opted to do the rare surgery on her at the Mass Referral Veterinary Hospital. Her recovery from the surgery was miraculous. However, about 2 months after surgery she got sick nothing to do with surgery and developed pneumonia that she didn’t survive. We were heartbroken but so blessed to have had her in our lives for as short as it was. We were grateful that we did opt to do everything we could to save her. She taught us how much we could love a furbaby.

We are so sorry that Darcy is no longer with us. She had a wonderful home and was given a second chance. For that we are grateful. Her owner expressed to us: “I adopted Darcy at one of your adoption events in 2020. I am totally devastated that I have had to say good-bye to her. Darcy has crossed Rainbow Bridge.  “Darcy was light and love.  She loved everyone and especially loved her older brother and her cats.  While her life was too short, she loved and was loved beyond words.  My world was a better place with her in it. Thank you for her. I will forever be grateful to you.”

It is with great sadness that we received a note today saying Ox has crossed Rainbow Bridge. Ox was a gentle giant with a fabulous personality A quote from his family after they adopted him.....”Wanted to thank y'all tremendously for Ox. He's the best dog I've had in a long time. Great with kids, checks in on the little babies while they nap as well as he's overly cautious when the little babies are around him going as far to walk to the far side of the room to avoid stepping on them. He barks when he's supposed to just a great all around dog. Been working on training without a leash and he's doing great. Just gotta keep his attention away from the neighborhood squirrels. So, in our first week with ox he's put on a few pounds, we visited a local brewery and he had the attention of everyone. Probably had 100 people ask to pet him.”

Rest in Peace, Ox. Your watch is complete.
