Dedicated to "Dog Town."  They bless us with their smiles and kisses on our faces and meet us at the gate when we arrive home.  Bless all the dogs at "Dog Town" and those who care for them.
         
In memory of Champ, who had a hard life before he came to us.  Champ had mental health problems from being tied up in the sun without food and water for extended periods.  He was a lovely dog but very afraid of everything.  During his first adoption, he spent the whole time hiding under the bed.

He was then returned to us and was lucky enough to find a home with a physical therapist who understood his problems and who loved him very much.  Champ just blossomed.  Recently he was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach, liver and surrounding areas and he died peacefully in her arms this week.

 Piper had a hard life. She was a street dog from Taiwan with many medical problems. She was only a year old when she arrived at our shelter. Over the years she had both eyes removed due to the pain from glaucoma. She finally succumbed to her heart valve defect the morning of 9/24/06. She left for the Rainbow Bridge very peacefully and didn't even wake up the guard terrier who slept only a few feet from her. She never found an adoptive or foster home - just too many medical problems and the time and dollars that go with them. As her heart condition worsened, she was fostered by our director.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to her medical care over the years and allowed her to live out her life to the fullest she could.  Sweet dreams, dear Piper, we'll miss you so much.

He was the King of our castle.  Unfortunately on 6/22 local coyotes took him. We miss him very much but are very thankful he was part of our life.  Thank you for sharing Sunny with us.

Tutu, a red Pom/Terrier, left us Christmas Day, 2005, at the age of 17. He came to Happypaws two years ago when his person had to go into jail.  He was a feisty old dog with no teeth and arthritis, but he would still take on any dog regardless of their size, so he was not very adoptable!  We all came to love TuTu and his idiosyncrasies that were true to his character.  He left us at 2:45 am Christmas Day.  (Must have decided he would hitch a ride with Santa.)  Tutu was a very sweet old man and we will miss him very much.

In memory of Candy, an Aussie mix, 1988-2005.  Candy joined our family at the age of 7, a rescue from a shelter.  She was a one-in-a-million dog, always affable, always easy-going, never left home - how could anyone have given her up.  She stayed with us for ten years until she needed to leave for the Rainbow Bridge after a battle with kidney disease.  We miss you coming to greet us each day, Candy.  Till we meet again, have fun and run and play like you did when you were a kid.
