Izzy
2007-2019 Last night, dear sweet Izzy had an awful seizure undoubtedly related to her cancer diagnosis. I could not bear to watch her suffer and took her to the ER vet at 3 a.m. She peacefully crossed to the Rainbow Bridge in my arms. Grace, Buster, Holly, and I are still shell shocked at her passing. We knew she was having “issues” the last few days, but that never prepares you enough. In January, Izzy survived ER surgery to remove her cancerous spleen. The vet predicted she had 1-2 months to live with the aggressive cancer. We were fortunate to have her for 8 months. It makes me smile knowing she had a large welcoming committee from 4 doxies she has shared a home and BIG bed with over the last 10 years. Marty, Callie, Mickey, and Faith will take good care of “The Iz”! RIP my sweet baby. You will be missed!!! :-) Meg


Oscar "M"

2005 - 2019

On August 12, 2019, I lost my beloved Oscar “M” who I rescued from AADR in 2008. In actuality, Oscar “M” rescued me. From the moment we laid eyes on each other, we fell madly in love. He hopped right into my lap and sat there for the entire car ride from NJ to his forever home on Long Island, NY. He knew he was finally home. Oscar was with me for 11 beautiful years.  Through all the inconsistencies in my life, he was the one consistency I could always rely on. From one failed relationship to another, Oscar was always there loving me unconditionally. Many days he was my reason to wake in the morning. I am so grateful that I had 11 years to be his mommy. I have no regrets. I gave him a beautiful life that he may not have had otherwise and he gave me joy I never knew before. In the end, despite how much it hurt, I promised him I would never let him suffer and the moment I saw he was, I would let him go. I kept my promise as his cancer progressed rapidly. He is at peace now and no longer suffering. I will love and miss my Prince Oscar “M” forever! Thank you to AADR for doing what you do. Without you, this love story would never have been possible. 

I know my Oscar is waiting for me at the rainbow  bridge for when we are reunited. Until then I will hold him in my heart forever. ❤



Basil
Our sweet boy Basil. Survived in a puppy mill for 8 years. We had him for 7 after that. He was rescued off a trailer by Diane and this boy sure could love deeply. Run free across the bridge big boy! Sit with Rolo, you will like him. Wait for us!


Max
Max 2005-2019 Have you ever had one of those dogs you had to work for? The kind who really didn’t trust and had a lot of quirks? Then, over time, you earn their trust and their love which just makes you love and appreciate them even more. This is the way it was with Max. I’ve had a few dogs in my time and I have loved them all; but Max was special to me in so many ways. There just aren’t words to describle how much I loved him, except to say, he was my heart, my weakness, my furry little love and there is now a big hole that he onced filled. I was only able to call him mine for 2 years, but he will be in my heart forever.


Ellie RIP
I was wondering if you remember me. I adopted Ellie from your Organization almost 6 -yrs ago. You had not traveled at that time to Texas but you did for me. I with a very heavy heavy heart really it is broken had to put her to sleep last Wednesday. She was getting where she wouldnt eat and I took her to the Dr. and he and I did everything we possibly could. I wanted to Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the years I was able to spend with her. She was the most sweetest dog. The only thing I regret i wish I would of had her since she was a puppy, but I cherished the time i had her. Jina Hall Johnson
