Allie

We recently posted a positive, happy update on alum Allie however we’ve just received devastating news that she has passed away shortly before the end of the year.  From her mom Karen:
 
“Allie was 2.5 when we adopted her from Southeast GSP Rescue through foster mom Lorrin. She was rescued from a puppy mill where she had at least 2 litters and seemed to have experienced little outside of a kennel. She was scared of EVERYTHING. Some fears/anxieties remained throughout the 9.5 years she was with us but she settled into life as a pet more and more over time. She would play fetch until the thrower was worn out and still beg for more. She loved running off leash in the woods, checking in with her people frequently to make sure they were nearby. She stood vigilant squirrel watch in the backyard (and brought me “presents” on occasion). She was always a good sister to Riley, then Fern, then Winnie, but mostly loved her people. She became especially attached to me the first week we got her, and I’ve never had a creature need me more. She was super active and seemingly healthy only a few weeks ago before a sudden and rapid onset of lymphoma. We thank you and foster mom Lorrin Brown for sharing her with us. We had nearly 10 sweet years together!  Rest easy, sweet pup.”
