It's literally the end of an era.  Just shy of two decades, this little 9 pound Chiweenie ruled my house.  Run free, crazy Copper!

Bouncer succumbed to the ravages of distemper.  He is at peace and off on his new adventure.  RIP sweet little man.

Please vaccinate your pets. The distemper vaccine is nearly 100% effective and will save the life of dogs like Bouncer.

Tommy crossed the Rainbow Bridge today in the loving arms of his foster mom.  Another sad victim of distemper.  He was such a happy, loving boy. What a sad ending due to the lack of a simple vaccine.

Please keep you pets up to date on all their vaccinations.  They are truly life savers.  RIP sweet Tommy.

George came to DRoH with a heavy heartworm infestation.  He was treated and began living the charmed life he finally deserved.  Unfortunately the worms had so damaged his lungs that he could not make that life last longer.  From his adopters: I want to let you know we lost our George yesterday. He developed fluid in his abdomen and his little heart just couldn't keep up. It has broken our hearts. We had him for such a short time. Thank you for rescuing him and giving us the opportunity to provide him with love and a family. He deserved so much more time. 

Please remember to use monthly heartworm preventative.  It's an easy option to prevent the sad loss of life.  RIP valiant George.
