Onyx---aka"little man"--- was a furry bundle of joy to all who met him. He asked for so little yet gave so much in the love and affection he shared with our family, strangers, and other animals -- he even kissed a few cats in his day. Words cannot convey how much we miss him but we are comforted by the fact that he is eternally resting. ----"Gammaw", Auntie Shel, and Mama will always love you and hold onto to those sweet memories prior to the illness which took you away from us too soon.

Ginger Anne

This is my beloved Ginger Anne.---She was only two years old and died of a breed specific disease called "pug dog encephalitis". I plan on donating money to any foundations in the study of this to help others keep the ones they love for a full lifetime. She was extremely individual. We were so similar in so many ways and I hate the fact that she is gone. but she will come back to me some day, some how. . . I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!---Love Your Mommy,---Rachelle Zerbach

Marcia

MY MARCIA DOG--- It was September of '95 and I had just turned 19. Very much a lonely, awkward and angry teenager/young adult. I was in college in Boston and it seemed that everyone was dating somebody and I felt left out and dejected. So much that I was suicidal. The night before I ran into Marcia I "prayed" to the Powers that Be, which wasn't so much of a prayer as it was a tantrum. "Why did you put me here with no one to love and to be loved in return? Why are all my friends in relationships which have all to do with lust more than love, and you give me no one!?" The following night I went to Burger King before I went to my apartment to get a cinderblock and some rope. I thought if some people can do it unwanted puppies, I could throw myself into a river too. As I was approaching my apartment a black dog came running toward me and stopped at my feet to beg for some french fries. I noticed that she had human nail marks on her muzzle and was extremely emaciated, so I gave her my fries. After she wolfed them down she continued to walk off around the street corner sniffing and picking up whatever scraps she could find. In that moment I felt so small. Here I was ready to throw a life away without much thought and here this young being, obviously abused, was struggling just to survive another night. I looked up to the stars and said, "Really? Did You really send me a dog?" I thought I'd be smart and question the Universe sent gift. "Oh yeah, well if she answers to this I'll take it as a sign." All I said next aloud in the night was, "Dog if you're cold and wanna come in, come back." Next thing I know that black dog came from around the corner and joined me on the steps outside of my Alston apartment. We were inseparable from that moment on. From her I learned responsibility, finding that I can only love others if I love myself first, and live each day in the moment. Marcia was hit by a truck when she was 2 while under my mother and brother's care. My brother was careless and let her walk home off lead. I got a call while I was in finals week at school to come home and put my dog down. But when she saw me, she came out of shock and we then had the option of surgery. Being two weeks before Christmas, we of course opted for surgery, and after she saved me I felt that I owed her. She had to have her pelvis screwed to her spine and both hips had to be pinned and one knee had to be completely replaced. I was told she probably wouldn't walk for a while. But no one told her! She started walking as soon as she woke up from surgery. I was also told that she probably wouldn't run again. Wrong!! My family nicknamed her the bionic dog because it seemed that she was invincible! She was with me when I met my first real adult boyfriend and she was my maid of honor when we got married. She was with me for all of my moves from Boston to Maine and now California. I am blessed to have had her give me the best 15 years of my life. She has truly been my guardian, but most of all I am fortunate to have called her my Marcia.

Louie

After years of adopting cats and dogs with “issues” from the Animal Shelter, I was overjoyed to finally adopt two cats with the most gentle and tranquil dispositions I have ever seen! Louie and Benny were litter mates and the best of pals. Their 10th birthday was on March 8, 2009; at that time both boys were healthy and passed their annual physicals without a problem. Then Louie got sick– and despite our prayers and the Veterinarians’ best efforts, he couldn’t be saved. I want the world to know that my Louie was a wonderful guy and I will miss him forever. I was blessed to have him in my life and to hold him when he died, peacefully, at home on Nov. 11th, 2009. Ellen

Sammy all snuggled up to Simon

I adopted Sammy on an animal day in October of 2001. It was an animal day because I had taken my best friend to ride horses for her birthday. After our wonderful ride in the mountains of North Carolina, she decided to buy one of the Dalmatian pups they had at the ranch. Little Nia needed some puppy food and a new collar and leash so we stopped by a privately owned pet store that was owed by a woman who found Sammy behind some dumpsters when he was about 3 days old. The vet told her he wasn't going to make it, but he was always such a trooper! She got him through that rough beginning. Now at about 8 weeks old, I couldn't resist and I took him home with me. I ended up moving the following May to attend school to become a veterinary technician and Sammy was with me the whole way. When I graduated, I learned first hand about cats blocking from him...his first blockage...I was working at the vet school at that time and so new to the field that I was waiting to find out if I had passed my boards. He was hospitalized for 5 days at the vet school. It was hard going from being a nurse to a mommy. I was greatful to get him home with me where he slept under the covers at my belly for weeks while he mended. He blocked one more time in his life and had all but 2 of his teeth removed. He helped bring me knowledge and helped me become the technician that I am, but most importantly, he was always home waiting for me...especially on those rough days when it seemed we were not able to save any of the animals that came in. He was there to keep my legs warm throughout movies and books and there to remind me of what true love is. He is in my heart and I miss him even now. Mary H
