Stella was a Pit/Shar-Pei mix. She was found in Granby, Co. by a guy hiking with his friend. She was taken to the shelter to see if someone was looking for her. They knew if they left her and no one claimed her she would probably be put down. After no one claimed her they found us. Stella arrived on Jan. 17, 2018. Her estimated D.O.B. is 2004. Stella was very skinny, her nails were long she had 2 large fatty tumors hanging off her hips and a lump on her one of her tits and her nose.....it was the roughest nose I had ever seen.

Eddie Ray 2004 - 2018
Eddie Ray had been here just a few months short of 3 years. He arrived Feb 3, 2015 and was a bit of a challenge because he was blind. I believe he had been blind for some time because he seemed to be dealing with it very well. He was found on the side of a road in TX. He spent most of his time in the bedroom to keep him safe, but started going down hill after we lost Sweetie his long time blind friend who had passed in October. Eddie started eating less and less then he started losing his bladder something he had always had control of.....it really bothered him wetting his bed in his sleep. Then about a week later he was out of it. He couldn't find his food bowl and started spinning which means something went wrong in his brain. Eddie Ray passed over the Rainbow Bridge assisted on Feb. 3, 2018. You and Sweetie are reunited now precious boy. |
