After many diagnostic tests and procedures including four tumor biopsies, lymph node aspirations, ultrasound, and exhaustive lab work, Robi was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer called canine cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis. The diagnosis was made at the University of Florida school of veterinary medicine by the derm pathology department. She was given supportive care and love but continued to deteriorate and waste away. A difficult but humane decision was made to end her suffering and euthanize. Thanks to all the medical personnel for their care and to those who so kindly donated for her care. Our director and her husband stayed with her while she crossed the Rainbow Bridge and brought her cremains back to their home. She did not die alone. We hope to never see a case like this again.

Run free, Tigger! We will never know what happened to you before rescue but we know that everything is right for you at the Bridge.

Within a short time of coming to us, Onyx began demonstrating some health concerns and was found to be in late kidney failure, an unfortunate disease known to the Shar-Pei breed. With very heavy hearts, the decision was made to end his suffering and allow him to run free at the Rainbow Bridge with all those that have gone before him. He knew love in his final days and that is what matters most.

SHOT O’ WHISKEYIn Memory of Shot O’ Whiskey who passed away 8/26/13 from MCT. Rescued from a local shelter at 6mos but taken way too soon at age 8 from the family who adored especially his autistic human brother. Members of the shar-pei community rallied around Whiskey because his death might have been prevent had he not been misdiagnosed. His life on earth may be over but under the care of Dr. Linda Tintle, he is contributing to genetic research in hopes one day to cure one of the leading causes of shar-pei death.

JasmineWe only had Jasmine with us for just over 7 years, not nearly long enough. She was a wonderful girl, who is missed every day. Cindy & John

You came to us with heart worms, terminal cancer, no front teeth, and the pain of years of torment and neglect. You had every right to be angry at the world, but you weren’t. You were so sweet to your foster family and wanted for nothing but love, comfort, and a warm place to sleep every night. We loved you unconditionally and did everything we could to ensure you were comfortable, happy, and most of all safe. When you crossed over the rainbow bridge and into heaven we hope that the first emotions you felt was happiness and no more pain. We miss you terribly, but please know that we love and miss you so much. You were only a part of our physical family for a month, but you will be in our hearts forever. Zach and Jenn
