Hank just turned 1 and his parents and our friends, Kristy and Matt, had their friends and family donate to us in lieu of gifts. We are so humbled and grateful – here is the adorable Hank sporting our merch haha! Thank you so much Kirkham family for your generosity and support. Xoxo

Sweet Murphy is an Envigo breeding facility survivor. His family said that we could write about him because “We can’t think of just one or two good things :)”. What we know of Murphy from his family is that this dog entered into love – with love and they have been helping in the healing process together.

In loving memory of Dallas, our special angel whom we loved so much and had the honour of sharing our lives with for 16 wonderful years. We will always be deeply saddened by her passing. Though 16 years may seem old to some, it wasn’t nearly long enough for us.

Dallas was always excited to meet every single person and dog we came across on our daily walks. She took a special interest in meeting other Beagles! The joy she showed when the grandkids would come over was unmatched. However, after a couple of hours, she was ready to return to her routine and was content to see them leave.

We never needed to check the clock because Dallas had one built-in. She knew exactly when it was feeding time, and she always waited by the window for me to come home— the highlight of her day! At 9 PM sharp, she would head upstairs, signalling that it was bedtime, and she expected us to follow.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Dallas in our lives, but saying goodbye has been extremely hard. We love and miss her every day. ❤️

Love, Mama & Papa

In memory of sweet Copper and Angel, whose lives have blessed the family with whom they spent their days. We know that Jessica and her family will miss them dearly. We hope their memory lives on in the lives who can be impacted by this donation in their honour.

Hector was my father. He was a veterinarian in Cuba, but when he came here in 1959 was unable to revalidate his license, as the money he made was to feed the family. Nevertheless, he instilled a love of all animals in me, and it is in his memory that I donate to organizations as yours. Thank you for the good work you do.

To say Journey was sweet is truly an understatement – she was a pin-up girl, a submissive – but with clear boundaries. Journey was left for dead in a ditch in northern Manitoba, docked tail, 3 months old. We adopted her into our family, our beagle was thrilled, and she became our baby girl.

I will miss you on the pillow beside me, every morning you were my wake up call, the paw on my hand, face to face.

We love you sweet girl. Xoxo

I have always loved dogs my entire life, but Loki had a very profound impact on me and never experienced a dog like him. He was adopted as a pound hound and had medical issues like epilepsy and hypothyroidism and was on quite a bit of medication. Although he made the best of life and was just a big love. Two things that stuck out to me about him was one day watching him one morning in the backyard not knowing I was there and seeing him just sitting in the grass as the sun shined down on him and him just watching the birds. Kinda like an old man on a park bench

The second thing I remember is a butterfly landing on his nose and he didn’t do a thing. He was a ham and had a very distinct personality for a dog, very human like, everybody loved him.

Loki passed away on 9/29/2017 and was probably the most difficult day in my life. But he would want me to be happy and help his brothers and sisters out there, I know that in my heart.

I would want Loki to be known for his gentleness, his huge heart and his ability to love all things great and small. He was a kind dog and loved everything and everyone, and despite his medical conditions he was as beautiful on the inside as he was on the outside.

Nothing was impossible for you B! You entered people’s hearts and you stayed. Your very existence changed the trajectory of my life B! You changed my world and I promise to change the world because of you.

Thank you for being my unconditional love. I love you B!
