Hercules
We adopted Hercules when he was 6 years old. We thought we could have a good 6 or more years with him, I can't believe it was only 2. He became our beloved son instantly. He loved us more that he loved himself. Our house was so full of love. He added balance where needed. There could never be another like him. I hope he knows that we haven't abandoned him and we will see him again one day. We love you so much Hercules. R.I.P.

Rasmund- "Raz"
In April of 2010, my then boyfriend, now husband and I went to an adoption event hosted by this very organization- German Shepherd Rescue and Adoptions looking for a dog we could adopt and bring home. We found the perfect, most precious, loving, adorable, beautiful puppy ever. . . she just happened to already be 12 years old. This baby chose us, and our lives were better for her doing so. The second Raz saw Matt, she just laid down at his feet and peered up at him with her beautiful, soulful brown eyes. All three of us fell instantly in love. After going through the process to adopt her, we became a happy family of three, with Raz always the center of attention. We showered our precious girl with love, treats, more love, orthopedic dog beds, more love, arthritis and pain medication, belly rubs, more love, and really anything she needed to feel good in her golden years. In return, she showered us with unconditional love, sweet, slobbery kisses, a greeting at the door after work if she felt like getting up, or a paw in the air as we entered, waiting for her belly rub if she didn't feel like getting up. Our baby was the most loving, kind-hearted, precious creature on this planet, and Matt and I are truly better people for having had the pleasure of her love and company for the three plus years we were blessed with. Raz was an angel on Earth, and we absolutely loved her to pieces. . . the best part is that she loved us that much right back! Our baby girl left us last week, and the time we had together was entirely too short. However, Matt and I are happy because we know she is chasing rabbits in Heaven with fresh, renewed, strong legs, feeling a freedom to move she hasn't had in too long. We are happy that she is in a place where she feels no pain and is at peace, but we are truly devastated she is no longer with us. Her sweet puppy smile, the love we have for her, and our memories of her will always remain in our hearts.

Pistol Pete
August 1, 1998 - June 26, 2013 Pistol Pete came to me when he was about 6 years old. It started out that I would babysit him from time to time, but I did not want the full time commitment to a dog. Before I knew what happened, he was mine. It took Pete a little over a year before he seemed to feel at home with me. For good reasons Pete had quite high separation anxiety. After about 8 years together we had a bond that I never imagined would happen. Pete went to work with me almost every day. He went on many road trips with me and we stayed in a lot of different hotels and campgrounds together. Pete was the most loyal, well behaved, beautiful dog I have ever known. He was at my side more often than not for about 8 years. Petey, I miss you terribly. There is a big empty spot on the bedroom floor where you belong. There is also a big empty spot in the rear view mirror of "your" car. I hope to see you at the Rainbow Bridge some day. In the meantime, you will never be forgotten.
