Flint

In 2021 our sweet senior Flint in Georgia received his freedom ride from the GA shelter and went on to have an amazing life with his family.  Sadly, we’ve learned that Flint has passed on to the Rainbow Bridge.  The original 2021 welcome post for Flint told his rescue story so well: 

“Bless our amazing volunteers and adopters who are willing to unconditionally love our less-than-perfect dogs in need who are perfect in their own way. Flint has a total of maybe four teeth left, less-than-stellar eyesight, possibly selective hearing (like any GSP), and several hanging tumors and other masses that will need to be looked at. Big thanks to Monroe County Animal Services for giving this guy a chance when they were over capacity and SEGSP volunteers Cathy for transporting, Sandee for giving him a welcoming home to rest for the week, and Aisha who will be his foster. It takes a village!” 

His forever mom Lesley said, “He was 10 when I adopted him, and he must have had a hard life because he really wasn’t interested much in humans.  I think he had trust issues.  Very sad what some of these dogs go through.  We ended up getting along well though.  He ate good food, slept on a sofa, went to my office every day with me, and went on long walks.  He never was a cuddle bug as most GSPs are, but I made sure he had a comfortable safe last 3 years.  I have taken his ashes to my cabin where my other dogs are buried. He’ll have a marker and be remembered.  I appreciate all you do for these very special dogs.” 

Flint, you will also be memorialized on the SEGSP website, with so many others that have started their Rainbow Bridge journey.
