Coco RIP
Our failed foster, Coco, bravely crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday afternoon. As we mourn her loss, we are comforted knowing that Coco will be rejoining previously passed members of her adoptive pack. She taught us love, compassion, and the biggest life lesson of never judging a book by its cover. She was the friendliest and most kind-loving dog you would ever meet! She never met a stranger! She loved laying in the sun and being licked in the face by her doggie sister Stella. She loved and was loved on by her entire family.

Willie RIP
It is with a heavy heart we are writing that Willie crossed over to the rainbow bridge. We met Willie on Feb. 13, 2020, at the halfway house and knew immediately he was going to be the perfect fit for our family. Willie loved his momma, his sister, and his poppa, protecting his backyard from the neighbor dog, hiding under blankets, and going for car rides. He brought so much joy to everyone he met, including a group of neighbor kids who would come and visit him after school. Willie was only with us for a short time, but he gave a lifetime of love to all of us. He is with his brother Wally (another AADR alum) and lots of human and pet companions to keep him company until we all meet again. Your family loves you Willie and we are heartbroken you are gone. Until we meet again, eat all the different foods you want and run free, Willem Defoe. We will always love you.

Tootsie RIP November 2021
In loving memory of Tootsie. We miss you dearly. Love, Sandy, Brian, Cami and Corey

Julie aka Sofie Neveah RIP
Julie aka Sofie Neveah In 2019 I adopted this 7lb puppy mill rescue. This tiny fragile spirit was afraid of everything. Eventually came her emerging personality and she learned to love, trust, play and enjoy being a dog. One of Sofie’s favorite things to do was ride in her bike basket with her glasses on feeling the wind in her ears. Sofie had partial vision and over the years lost the rest of it along with her hearing. That didn’t stop my girl from living her best life. Sofie eventually developed sundowners and the vet felt possibly from dementia. At almost 16yo she eventually grew tired and I laid my baby girl to rest. Thank you for allowing Sofie to come home to me. She made my life a better place.

Emerald aka Bella RIP
Bella was my sweet, protective, and fiercely loving baby. She was a mighty huntress, a Viking warrior princess, a regal queen, a good sister and a most excellent daughter. She was 15 years old when she died and I was blessed to have her in my life for 12 years and 3 months. She will forever be in my heart. She loved me fiercely and I am privileged to have been a recipient of her love, which she did not give freely to just anybody. She was my Bella Goat, my Bella Boo, Baby Mine. Rest In Peace now my sweet angel!
