Maggie

We have sad news today…  We found out that our 2015 alumna, Maggie, has passed away in 2022. She had a neglected existence the first 7 years of her life, then she was dropped off at a Georgia shelter by her owner.  She appears to have lived her entire existence in an outdoor kennel or whelping box.  Thanks to her foster mom, Megan, Maggie thrived in rescue and found her forever home with the Hight family.
Her mom said, “I held on to her at the end as long as I could, I made several adjustments to my home to help her stay comfortable. It was so hard to make the call because she would have some okay days and then bad days. She was losing control of her bowels/bladder. She seemed to just be uncomfortable all the time. I had a vet come to my house and she got comfortable on my couch, and just drifted away. No more pain, no more anxiety. I think her sight and hearing were not 100% by then either. She really just got old. It was sad, but it was time. I was on the fence for close to a year about when to let her go. I loved that sweet baby.”

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart. —ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
