Harper

Our sweet girl Harper, fostered in MS, has tragically passed away.   Harper was found by a Good Samaritan starving in Wetumpka, AL.  He had her vetted, then brought her to the Humane Society who contacted SEGSP.  The man’s daughter called her Baby Girl, and we could see why.  Harper sadly stayed at the shelter for a month while we searched for a foster home…and we eventually found a really, really good one with Art!

​Harper was being evaluated for some tumors and it was determined they were cancerous.  New tumors were found, blocking her nasal airway, and they grew very quickly.  As we all know, GSPs are very stoic in regard to pain, and there was no doubt she was in pain, so Art made sure her last days were filled with lots of love and tenderness.

Before she passed away, Art spent a lot of time with her and even brought her to the gym where everyone loved on her.   Harper found love, happiness, and lots of attention with Art, his friends, and her foster canine sibling Stella. 

We received this message from Art, saying, “Thanks to SEGSP for taking Harper in, and supporting her top-quality medical care.   She will be missed by all that knew or knew of her.  Fortunately, her decline was quick, with no apparent suffering until the very end.  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of Harper’s life.”

Thank you, Art, for all you did for Harper. Her fate was uncertain before rescue, and she/we were lucky to have found you.
