Maggie RIP
Maggie Joyner 2012-2024 Maggie first came to us in 2021 as a Foster with a lot of health issues. She had eye drops, ear drops and needed to be bathed 3X a week with a special shampoo for a skin infection. Shortly after getting her, she started having seizures. Long ones. She was quiet and not very active but sweet non the less. After a couple of months she started feeling and acting like a new dog! Her fur was growing back, she was off her meds and her seizures under control. As you can imagine, we grew very close with her as we helped her recover, so, we adopted her! It seemed as soon as we gave her our last name, she knew it and became quite the little stinker. She loved to bark at everything and quickly appointed herself as the fun police to our other dogs. She and my husband had their own little language and she loved to be sung to. Maggie was a big part of our little pack and was always a big "helper" with everything from going to the bathroom to running errands. Always happy! In July of this year, 2024, she was diagnosed with diabetes and we started with insulin shots twice a day. Everyone at the vets office was in love with her. She had a way of schmoozing everyone to her every whim! Sure made those days of having to leave her there a bit easier. Than came the tumors on her adrenals. Long sad story short, we lost her the week before Thanksgiving. Having Maggie as part of our family was a joy, a bit of a challange at times, but mostly an honor. She had/has a big loving spirit that leaves that big hole in your life once they cross Rainbow Bridge. There is never enough time with those special souls. Thank You AADR for allowing us the few but very full short years with Maggie. We love her dearly. Deanna and Britt Joyner

Dottie RIP 12/15/2024
My life with Dottie began on May 18, 2021. The instant her foster mom, Tracy, placed her in my arms she knew I was hers and I knew she was mine. We packed a lifetime of memories into 3 years and 7 months. Dottie was blind, partially paralyzed and had lived a hard life prior to coming into rescue. I woke up each day thinking how I could make her day a good one. In her time with us, Dottie went on many adventures - the beach, the mountains, golf cart rides, time spent near our creek and on our farm. I was her eyes to help her experience this world without vision and her legs when she couldn’t walk. She was a sassy, demanding girl - with her little growl, but she loved with her whole heart. My life changed because of her. Some say I made her life better, but she gave me a reason to wake up, a reason to find new beauty in each new day. I would do it all over again, for one more day with her. We love you Dottie Louise. I’ll see you soon. Love, Mama Ann

Sammy Robinson, RIP 2024

Daisy RIP sweet girl
Daisy was the sweetest little girl. She came to the rescue as an owner surrender. Unfortunately she never left the rescue and became a hospice foster. She was diagnosed with cancer and lived her last days enjoying life in a foster home where she was loved very much. She had 3 foster sisters that she loved and enjoyed wandering around the fenced in yard with them. You will be greatly missed sweet baby.

Magnum...RIP
I adopted Magnum in November 2023. He was an unexpected bundle of joy for our family. Magnum loved to ride in the car all day, play ball in the evening and get a hug at night before bed. When I arrived home after being out he would be waiting at the back door, run back and forth with his nose scrunched up as fast as he could go. When you picked him up it was the best kisses ever! We loved him so much and will dearly miss our little Dachshund. Thanks to Diane for entrusting us with Magnum.❤️❤️❤️ Pam
