Olive Rose

​Our beautiful alumna Olive Rose left this world yesterday.  She had been undergoing tests for her liver function, but her condition worsened and her dad Dennis said she told them she was ready… but they were not. 
 
Olive came to rescue in 2014 as a stray and was pregnant, emaciated and heartworm positive and after having 10 puppies began her time in rescue. Our founder Beth Cochran treated Olive for heartworms, then Dennis fostered her and showed her what it was like to be loved and adopted her.  Her family adored her and for seven years she enjoyed a love-filled life.
 
“The pain of grief is just as much a part of life as the joy of love; it is, perhaps, the price we pay for love, the cost of commitment.” Colin Murray Parkes
